Page Two <br /> The 3 acres we are interested in purchasing is currently zoned agricultural and it is <br /> against Town land use regulations to place a commercial business on it. However, we <br /> feel it would be in the Town's best interest to rezone this to commercial for the following <br /> reasons: <br /> - It would allow us to remain in the Town of Berry and keep the business in <br /> the area. <br /> - Our current location is convenient to many Town residents and local <br /> businesses and this would allow this convenience to continue. <br /> - Town tax revenues would not be lost due to the tax rate on land zoned <br /> commercial vs. agricultural. <br /> - The amount of land being taken out of agricultural is minimal. <br /> In response to Don Dega's concern about having customers pick up their vehicles as soon <br /> as they are fixed to eliminate them sitting around we have the following comments: <br /> - Some customers can't pick them up until after their work day ends. <br /> - Sometimes we are unable to reach our customers immediately to inform <br /> them their vehicle is ready for pick-up. <br /> - Our customers occasionally have to rely on other people for transportation <br /> to pick up their vehicle -- some customers only have one vehicle and when <br /> it is being worked on, they are at other people's mercy and must deal with <br /> other people's schedules. <br /> - Some people have jobs that take them out-of-town. They sometimes drop <br /> their vehicle off on Sunday for pick-up on Friday when they return. <br /> - Customers who are not desperate for their vehicle sometimes drop it off for <br /> us to work on at our convenience (a work-it-in type situation). <br /> - We try to meet our customers needs. If it is required that they must sit and <br /> wait for their vehicle(s) to get fixed, they'll take it to a business who has the <br /> ability to park it until they can get back to pick it up. This defeats the <br /> purpose of our goal. <br />
