Box 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 written to provide the City of Orono with information concerning our <br />company, ABC Supply. ABC is America’s largest roofing, sidirg 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 surround the building. 1 am sure you will agree that the <br />improvements we ore 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. Moorse <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 />unloaded we place that product in the warehouse. The types of products we handle most <br />arc roofing materials along with siding and windows, which all come on pallets. Since <br />we are w holesalers of roofing materials and siding most of our o'ders are generated by <br />phone or by our outside sales staff and are delivered to a locati.^n 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 lime 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 />CORPORA TE OFFICE • Ont ABC Piriewiy • 1
