From: Derek Trout To: Brian McCann Subject: Re: Home Occupation Permit-Site Plan/Narrative Date: Friday,February 4,2022 11:03:00 AM Attachments: image001.png H1 Brian, You can feel free to call me any time today to take a credit card number over the phone for the application fee and the escrow. I will have the site plan coming to you in my next email, as I am still fully designing it. As for the full business description, I have that listed below: Peace Keepers, Inc. is a small, home-based firearms, accessories (such as additional magazines, cases, slings etc), ammunition and training company. We hold all federal and state licensing required. We sell firearms primarily online, with some buyers looking to take transfers on-site and occasionally purchase additional firearms on-site. Our hours of operation are by-appointment only--we do not hold open hours. Typical hours we will accept appointments are from 8am-6pm Saturday and Sunday, and 5pm-7pm weekdays. To include all deliveries and customers for the business, we plan to see around 2-3 vehicle trips per day on average. I have one person who helps me with business operations, and he is also a resident of Ramsey. I typically see him 2 days per week for business purposes. Many days we will see 0 vehicle trips, but we do occasionally see around 6 trips per day when we receive deliveries from multiple delivery services (UPS, FedEx, LISPS, SpeeDee etc.). We do not use any specialized delivery services, only services which travel through this neighborhood on their normal route. Our training is for Permit To Carry classes, which we are also licensed through the BCA to conduct. We generally conduct approximately 1 class a month on-site, which ranges from 8- 20 students, most of which carpool. There are several months out of the year where we conduct no classes on-site. These classes tend to start between 1Oam-noon and last approximately 3 hours on-site. We then move to Total Defense or another shooting range to complete the shooting portion of the class. From there, the students return home. On occasion, we will conduct classes off-site. These classes vary in location, but are generally 75+miles from Ramsey. All business operations are planned to be completed in the newly built pole barn, which has a 16x24 section which has been built to be an office, inventory room. The pole barn is secured with electronic dead-bolts throughout, automatic-locking garage doors, 24/7 video surveillance at each entry, motion-sensing exterior lights and door/window sensors on every door and window. The office is a steel-constructed room with no windows. All business firearms will be stored in the secured office at all times. We will maintain a fire extinguisher rated for ammunition in the office as an additional measure of security. I am an ammunition handler for the Minnesota National Guard and have been for the past 9
