Bo.x 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />RE: ABC Supply Co. Inc. 450 North Old Crystal Bay Road, Orono, MN <br />Dear Mr. Weinberger: <br />This letter is being uxitten to provide the Citj' of Orono with information concerning our <br />company, ABC Supply. ABC is America ’s largest roofing, siding and window <br />wholesaler. As you know we have leased a portion of the VCI Capital Building in Orono <br />and are in the process of making improvements to both the interior and exterior of the <br />building and lands that sunound the building. I am sure you will agree that the <br />improvements wc are undertaking will improve the look of the building and the grounds. <br />We would first like to address and clarify' some issues raised in a letter from Mr. Moorsc <br />on February 17,2000 (a copy of which is enclosed) on how our on site activities work. <br />The types of activities that ABC performs outside of the building consist of unloading <br />product by small forklifi trucks that comes from our suppliers. Once the truck is <br />unlcnded we place that product in the warehouse. The ty pes of products we handle most <br />are roofing materials along with siding and windows, which all come on pallets. Since <br />we are wholesalers of roofing materials and siding most of our orders are generated by <br />phone or by our outside sales staff and are delivered to a location specified by the <br />customer. Customers typically come in to pick up only small orders or when a job falls <br />short of materials. Delivery of product to the customer is why we have been successful <br />in the wholesale business and is the most important factor is servicing a customer. <br />From time to time and mostly in the spring and early summer it is necessary for us to <br />temporary store some roofing materials outside on pallets because demand for the <br />product is great and the product moves so quickly. We also stage products outside for <br />CORPORATEOFFICE»On$ABCPat1cMyl <br />{i
