Looks good to me. I will use it.

[Karl_Pilkington]

yeah, I like it also, will use it as well.

good job, guys.

This is totally solution-based and positive.

And...should I ever decide to wash my vehicle, I'd bring it there.

He ought to talk to Content Design Group, C Squared or Lake to get a digital "facelift" done for the facility. That extra coupla hundred could make a world of difference in the paint and exterior design of the building (and help him gain support with visual representation of his plans). Dan, can you hook him up?

Matt & Dan, thanks for gathering the info. Sounds like a business most of us can get behind.

Great job guys!  I'm going to send the information provided by Dan B. and Matt to the planning department for evaluation before their written reports are due.

I will see what I can do.

Hey Dan, while you are at it, see if he needs any equipment financing

I know he met with Louise before last weeks meeting, but i'm not sure what was discussed. Perhaps after seeing / reading all of these details her mind might changed.

This will be a good topic to bring up at Thursday's Springfield Community Meeting as well.

...an interesting comment, to say the least.

I honestly think the next best step for Silas is to get with Content Design Group, and get some visuals done. If he wants to get this past HPC, they need to see the vision he described to Matt and I.

I think the other thing, which I mentioned to Silas yesterday, is to make more of an effort to interface, and use Main Street more than 4th. Its ok to have an exit/entrance on 4th, but the main entrance/exit really should be from Main, especially since he is going to be maintaining the lot.

Wow.  I'm just getting through reading all of this and I am ashamed for being offline the past few days. 

Reading your comments and progress is very encouraging and at first thought of this place, my views leaned negative.  However, the owner seems to have addressed most of the community concerns and I can say that I am leaning in support for this new business.  The environmental concern was an issue as well and that seems to be taken care of.

Hopefully, an aesthetically nice, clean operation that includes these design elements will be a huge improvement and will possibly make the existing building next to it more attractive for another investor to renovate. 

The neighborhood has a right to be concerned about any new business, but as Strider said, its better than what is there now.  I'm glad to see Silas working with the community.

[sheclown]

I agree.

It is a very good thing.
