QUESTIONS, CONCERNS, COMMENTS
1. Will the proposed retail business create a lot of traffic and need for parking?
How much traffic will there be?
RESPONSE:
Based
on experience, it
is anticipated that
there will never be more
than two cars
at a
time. Typically, we get four cars per
day. Since the site has
ample parking
area,
there should be no
parking impact on
the neighborhood.
2.. Please describe the proposed business, the number of employees, and how the
business differs from typical retail?
RESPONSE: Our business is basically a professional sales organization. We have a
total of three employees, two sales people, and one secretary. We carry three
primary products. First, we carry invisible fencing, a product for containing dogs.
Second, we carry gas logs for gas fireplaces. Third, we carry a supplemental
heating appliance called a cornburner. We also carry a variety of water and air
filtration systems for the home. By far, most all our sales are generated by direct
phone solicitation, advertising, yellow pages, and direct sales.
At our present location, we have approximately 500 square feet for storage, 900
square feet for three offices, and 500 square feet for product showroom. We are
not a stove shop like Fireplace Specialties or Friendly Fire. Most of our customers
come to the showroom to observe a demonstration or pick up a product. Our
business does not depend on the typical retail drive -by impulse shopper.
It is important to have a showroom for product display but it is not critical for the
sales operation. Our products are highly specialized. One of the other reasons for a
showroom is to demonstrate to our customers that we are not a fly by night "boiler
room" operation but a real business with integrity.
3. Will there be any signage?
RESPONSE: Yes, there will be a small sign to direct our customers to the shop but
not to attract the impulse shopper.
4. Will you use all of the building?
RESPONSE: No. The owner, Mr. John Keulen, ,will retain the use of about
one-fourth of the building for storage of household items.
5. How long have you been in business?
RESPONSE: About four and one-half years.
