Amendment to CUP Application for 16028 Forest Blvd. N. (Bradley Investments) January 3, 2023 Page 3 Per our conversation at the December 22nd Zoom meeting, please let me know if there is additional guidance that you would like us to follow with regard to the site plan for the location of the proposed storage at the Property. Additionally, as we discussed at the meeting, the boundary survey and site plan being submitted with this letter will be sufficient for this current CUP request, and no separate topographic survey will be required. The boundary survey was completed on December 16, 2022 by Shawn M Kupcho, Land Surveyor, of WiDSETH. An un-altered copy of the survey is attached as Exhibit E, and it does contain some information about the elevations and topography of the Property. The industrial materials currently being stored at the Property are stored outside on grass, dirt, and gravel; and Bradley Investment intends to continue use of the Property for storage in the same manner. III. Daily / Weekly Volume of Activity at the Property The Property is intended to serve as a hub for DPS’s activities in the northern Twin Cities metro area. DPS owns two other yards in the Twin Cities metro area, including its current headquarters located in Eagan, where it stores container pods, semi-trucks, and other DPS Equipment. Those two other yards in Eagan and St. Paul will continue to serve the majority of DPS’s activities throughout the metro area. Based on its total activity throughout the Twin Cities metro area, Bradley Investments anticipates that the Property will see an average of 20 to 30 deliveries per week of container pods and other DPS Equipment, and an average of 10 to 25 pickups per week. Deliveries and pick-ups are sometimes accomplished on the same trip, which reduces the total trips to and from the Property. These numbers are averages based on DPS current activities in the northern metro area, and the actual activity at the Property will vary by season, based on market needs, and as a result of other factors. The majority of DPS employees are stationed in Eagan, although there may be one or two employees stationed at the Property on a part-time basis. Based on the projected average deliveries and pick-ups to the Property, the total number of drivers and employees coming to and from the Property is estimated to be between 5 and 15 per day. IV. Conclusion In summary, Bradley Investments Forest Blvd., LLC seeks an amendment to the current CUP to allow exterior storage in a manner that fits with the current, existing use of the Property under the current CUP (a copy of which was attached to the November 18th CUP application). Upon completing its purchase of the Property, Bradley Investments
