As a consultant to the applicant, feel free to contact me with any questions. <br />Matt Pavek, PE <br />Civil Site Group <br />mpavekacivilsitearoup.com <br />763-213-3944 <br />Lazydays RV (Lazydays) operates Recreation Vehicle ("RV") dealerships and has a comprehensive portfolio of <br />products and services for RV owners and outdoor enthusiasts. We provide RV owners and outdoor enthusiasts a <br />full spectrum of products: RV sales, RV -repair and services, financing products, protection plans, after -market <br />parts and accessories, RV rentals and RV camping. We provide these offerings through our Lazydays branded <br />dealerships. Lazydays is known nationally as the RV Authority. <br />Currently, Lazydays operates the world's largest dealership located on 126 acres outside Tampa, FL and <br />dealerships in Tucson, AZ and Loveland, Denver and Longmont, CO. Lazydays has the largest selection of RV <br />brands in the nation featuring more than 2,500 new and pre -owned RVs. The Company has over 300 service bays <br />and has RV parts and accessories stores at all locations. Lazydays also has RV rental fleets in all three markets. <br />Lazydays welcomes over 500,000 visitors to our dealership locations annually and employs over 700 people at the <br />five facilities. Our dealership locations are staffed with knowledgeable local team members, providing customers <br />access to extensive RV expertise. Our dealership locations are strategically located in key RV markets. <br />Lazydays has announced it intention to acquire Shorewood RV Center located in Anoka, Minnesota. The <br />acquisition of Shorewood RV Center fits well with Lazydays' geographic expansion strategy. With the <br />finalization of the acquisition, the Shorewood dealership will be rebranded as Lazydays RV, and Lazydays will <br />then operate six dealerships located in Florida, Colorado, Arizona and Minnesota. <br />As part of this acquisition, Lazydays will expand the service center from 10 bays (current capacity) to 30 bays. <br />The expansion will be constructed on the parcel of land directly south of the existing dealership. It will consist of <br />20 service bays, customer service and waiting area, part warehousing, receiving dock and additional office space. <br />We expect the zoning on the expansion to be similar to the current dealership (legal, non -conforming B-2 <br />Business District). With the growth of the RV industry and Lazydays position as a market leader, this expansion <br />fits well with our overall growth strategy. <br />www.CivilSiteGrouo.com <br />4931 West 35th Street • Suite 200 St. Louis Park Minnesota 55416 (612) 615-0060 <br />
