Incubator for sell business <br />We are interested in purchasing the former Monarch Homes bldg. and lot to add to our already successful <br />business plans implemented in Andover, Ham Lake, Forest Lake and Lake St Croix Beach. We intend to provide <br />small business Used Car Dealer Offices and Shops to meet the current demand. <br />At the current facilities in Ham Lake we have 7 Dealers, In Forest Lake we have 7 Dealers, Andover we have 5 <br />Dealers and in Lake St Croix Beach we have 5 Dealers pending. We wish to locate in Ramsey to provide a <br />proximity to Dealers that live in the area. Basically we provide and office for storage of records, up to 5 car stalls <br />including their parking, a sales office and proper zoning. The dealers need to get State required $50,000 bond <br />and insurance. The dealers are also required to have minimum of one year lease. <br />For the 6 of the 7 Dealers in Forest Lake they use total of 2-3 stalls. The Dealers themselves are there one day a <br />week for 4 hours. Of the 7 Dealers in Ham Lake they may use 8-10 car stalls total and they are themselves seldom <br />there. So in conclusion the actual parking the Dealers need is minimal. <br />We are proposing to provide 7 small Dealer Offices and Two Dealer Shops. For the two that are designated as <br />shops, they will have shop space for two cars each for detailing or minor car repairs and each an office to go <br />with them. This total to 9 potential Dealers. <br />Since I've been talking to Chris at , he has inquired as to number parking stalls at Ramsey location. It has some <br />old striping in front of bldg. of which most is worn off but near as far as I can figure we have blacktop for 45 cars. <br />The DMV says that parking in bldg. is also allowed so our total would be 49 car stalls. Nine Dealers times 5 each is <br />45 stalls necessary. But keep in mind at our other sites 80% of needed stalls go unused. <br />If needed we have plenty of unused space to south that we could black top if it's deemed necessary. From <br />experience though I don't think we need to. The site is total of 1.6 acres and has plenty of room available. The <br />septic is located on the north side of property and I've been told city sewer and water will soon become <br />available with a hook up charge if we want to use if we need the space septic is on. <br />Should you have any further question feel free to inquire? <br />Sincerely, <br />Bethel Properties LLC <br />John Buzick, Manager <br />
