Ken Jordan
18990 Twin Lks Rd
Elk River, MN 55330
The City of Elk River:
My name is Ken Jordan, and I am writing this letter regarding obtaining a conditional
use permit for a small catering business on my property, located at 18990 Twin Lakes
Rd., Elk River. In this letter, I will explain my business in general, and address possible
concerns one might have with the nature of a catering business. Most important, I will
illustrate our business planning, and show how we have dealt with these concerns. I
would also like to thank you for taking the time to review my application.
Pig's Unlimited Inc. is a small catering company, priding itself in providing its customers
with the unique experience of eating a pig roast. We are comprised of two people,
including myself. The small number of people involved allows for tighter quality control
and higher safety standards. Our menu is limited as well as specialized. This affects us
in two specific ways:
1. It allows for a limited amount of needed storage space.
2. It limits our "open season" from May to September.
Pigs Unlimited is not, nor is intended to be the primary source of income for any of our
employees. Its purpose is to exit as a hobby, or side job, providing as a supplement. It
fits my schedule well, as I work in the field of education and have more free time in the
summer months.
In preparation for business, we have converted an existing structure into our preparation
area, which is awaiting health inspection approval. The conversion process did not
change the exterior appearance in any way. All of the cosmetics changes have taken
place on the interior. In addition, we have set up accounts with various vendors to take
care of our needs. We have an account with Sysco Minnesota, whom we receive our
food and cleaning supplies from. We receive a delivery approximately every three to
four weeks. American Linen takes care of our aprons and towels. They will pick up our
soiled linens and switch them with clean ones. They deliver once every four weeks.
Corrow Sanitation has provided us with a dumpster which is located in an enclosed area
approximately 200 yards from the catering area. The dumpster is emptied every two
weeks. We use the company Grease Disposals Inc. for our grease disposal.
They provide us with a storage receptacle, and will remove the grease upon our request.
Our vendors visit infrequently enough, where they are not much of a traffic factor.
As I stated earlier, the catering company is located on 13 acres at 18990 Twin Lakes
Rd., Elk River on the comer of Twin Lakes Rd. and Tyler St. The acres I live on, offers a
good degree of privacy and allows us to deal with issues more effectively. First of all, we
DO NOT cater any events at our location, so customer traffic does not
r.

exist. Due to the fact we are made up of two employees, including myself, employee
traffic is not a problem. Vendor traffic is not a nuisance either. Sysco :MN is the only
vendor that delivers out of a full-size semi. Our driveway has two entrances, and is
continuous, so their truck is able to enter our drive from Tyler St. and exit on Twin Lakes
Rd. This will prevent the truck from having to stop in the street and back into the
driveway. Also, the driveway leading to the catering is long enough to allow the truck to
pull completely off the street. Another concern my neighbors do not have deal with is
signage. Our advertising will be done via, business cards, brochures, newspaper ads. ect.
I hope this information that I have presented to you will allow me to be granted a
conditional use permit at my location. If you have further question please contact me at
441-0534.
