While the majority of these conditions have been met (residential tenant has vacated, Sherburne County and Elk River Waste Haulers Licenses have been issued, approved surface has been installed on all storage areas, specifications regarding storage and disposal of debris are being followed), we have been held up on the installation of the fence. The specific positioning and length of fence on the eastern border will be determined by placement and size of a new building. Over the past year we have been analyzing the costs, benefits, and positioning of this building. One factor determining the building's size is available capital. While we are in excellent standings with our bank, we are finalizing negotiations on the acquisition of a local company. [This transaction will allow us to expand our business, while at the same time provide revenue from established regular customers. J It should be noted that this transaction will not change the way we do business, or the way the Jarvis property is used. Purchasing this business will require substantial capital and potentially limit the size of our building, thereby increasing the size of the fence. Our banker has recommended that we come to him with the entire project (business acquisition, construction of new building, and property improvements including fence). The acquisition of the new business has taken longer than we had anticipated, but is approaching the final contract stage. At that point we can go to the bank. Weare requesting a nine month extension for completion of conditions of our Conditional Use Permit, A six month extension would cause the deadline to fall during the time of year when the ground is frozen - making installation of a fence nearly impossible. ~erely, /Errill;t~ Vice President Partnering with uFrom the Heart" Foundation #v giving ~eusable goods new life.
