Special Use Permit Application 833 SW Third Street #1 "Brighton Unique Auto" automotive detailing, service & sales My name is Abdallah Kadid. I came to the United States from Lebanon nearly ten years ago, and I am proud to be a U.S. citizen. For the past six years I have been living in New Brighton with my wife, Annmarie Livingston, and our two children. Annmarie grew up in New Brighton, and her father served on the Planning Commission for more than 20 years. Our son attends St. John the Baptist school, and we are members of St. John church. We love the New Brighton area — it is a great place to live and to raise a family. I currently work for AT&T Mobile, and Annmarie works for Office Depot. We used to own two businesses in Minneapolis, and for the past couple of years we have wanted to start a business in New Brighton. We want to provide a needed service in a location that is convenient for our customers, and have a business that our kids can participate in as they get older. I have always had a passion for cars, and I love working with people, so we have decided on a business that fits all those things perfectly. • Brighton Unique Auto will offer full service automotive detailing and minor repair, as well as automotive brokerage and sales services. We have found a great location at 833 SW Third Street #1, off of Old Highway 8, in a commercial/industrial development of four long buildings. The unit we are leasing is in the first building from Old Highway 8, on the end of the building adjoining Third Street and farthest from the mobile home park, across the street from the back of the Business Data Record Services warehouse. The back of the unit has an overhead entry door for vehicles, with 3,000 square feet of space inside. Access to the business is quick and easy from Old Highway 8 and Third Street. There is plenty of parking in front and in back of the building, with seven spaces in front and five in back specifically designated for this unit. Any cars that are being detailed, worked on, or held for sale will be stored inside the unit at night. Because Brighton Unique Auto will be a detailing service, not a car wash, we will not have lines of traffic. The building is cement block construction, so there should not be any significant increase in the amount of noise for the surrounding businesses. We will not be making any changes to the exterior of the building, other than installing signs on the front and the back of the unit. The interior will be divided into two areas, separated by existing walls. There will be a service area with pressurized water and a drain into the sewer system (existing) for detailing work and light service work such as installing remote starter systems. Heavy duty washing will be done at • a local car wash. Necessary utilities such as water, sewer and electricity are already in place.
