We have been in Saint Anthony now for ten plus years. <br />We have expanded our business and found the perfect location in New Brighton. Silver Lake Auto is <br />a logistical company that needs to comply with both City and State regulations in order to maintain <br />our dealer license. The state requires Silver Lake Auto to be able to sell our vehicles out of our <br />location as a regulation to be considered a dealership with Minnesota. We require 5 parking spots <br />minimum. In order to achieve this, we are working with the City of New Brighton to honor this <br />request. Silver Lake Auto is not a traditional dealership. We are an exporter. Our offices reside in <br />Lebanon, UAE, and Jordan over in the Middle East. We do not sell vehicles onsite; we are an online <br />based company for clients based out of the Middle East. We work with Copart Auto Auctions with <br />purchasing units online and having them transported directly to our warehouses located in New <br />Jersey, Georgia, Texas, and California. Once vehicles are delivered, we arrange our warehouses to <br />load our units into containers and exported to the proper destination. There will never be vehicles <br />for sale in New Brighton. We are a business setting office strictly dealing with only logistics on a <br />daily basis. This office is operation based. We rarely have walk in traffic from the public. We would <br />like to plant our roots of the business with New Brighton. We have had the pleasure of working <br />with city workers, building owners, and every day citizens from New Brighton and it has always <br />been a successful experience. We are hoping you allow us to build in your community with our <br />promise to comply with all rules and regulations in order to reside here with the stipulation of <br />allowing us to present 5 parking spots to the State, but with our promise not to sell any vehicles <br />out of the city. <br /> <br />Thank you! <br />Bilal Haidari Owner. <br />
