From ^^arc Gillel To Liz V Date: 12/22/97 Time 8 15 24 Af^ To; Zoning'PKinning, attn; Eheabeth V. From: Marc A J. Oillet Re Commercial property located at 2160 Wayzata Blvd 1 have discussed with the prc'perly owner. Bill Ware my desire to lease approximately 12*>0-15i>0 square feet ot commercial space in the properly located at 2160 Wayzata Blvd. The business that 1 would like to put in the space would be selling Go Karts, and parts and accessories for them In our meeting on Tuesday. December 16'*‘ 1997 we looked at some of the Karting magazines I brouglil in to try to give you a better feel of the Karting industry and the business that I would like to bring to Orono In companng what we saw in the trade magazines and our discussions, to the town codes, we both felt that isn't a direct listing for Karts, but that it would be ver>* similar to two other approved uses of Bicycle shop and Hobby shop. The Karls come two frames to a bo.x. There is some assembly required, including seat, tires and engine, and gauges The Karts are designed for sanctioned tracks that are open to ages 6 to 65 years old. There is a local test course at the Dakota County Technical t!’ollege There will be no Karts driven in the parking lot Other tracks are located in Hulchinsv»n. Brainerd. and Eau Claire, along with Other events throughout the metro area, such as Cantebury dowas The sanctioning body has strict safety requirements and licensing that must be adhered to. in order to operate on the course. After attending a couple of different types of races this year as spectators with my two sons, I found that the sporting events are \ family oriented. As a Den Leader for Cub Scouts, and the lather ot two sons, I am always k»^»king for constructive w ays for us to spend time together, even as we get older. I thinl: that a Karting business would be an asset to the community of Orono. Than!: you. Marc Oillct P.S I dropped off the application with Bill Ware over the weekend, we discas.sed what needs to be done on Friday the 19**V I will lr\* to make sure that vou cet evervthinz \ ou requested todav It’ you have any tiuestions. concerns, or comments you can reach me at Home 479-672S. or work at 9360169. or tax 9360145 Page 1 of ^
