Carlberg Attachments Memo from Marwan Merhy December 28, 2011 To: City of Andover / City Council From: Mario's Stop N Shop To Whom It May Concern: We are writing you today in regard of the notice we have received about the U -Haul service we offer to our customers. We have been asked to shut down the U -Haul business due to property zoning that don't allow rentals. As you may know, business has not been the greatest and seems to be getting tougher as time goes by. So we brought in the U -Haul to help bring more customers to our business, give a better service to the neighborhood. As you may also know, the landlord tried to rent the space next door to be used as a warehouse and found out he can't due to property zoning also. We looked into relocating the U -Haul business into the right zoning area but we cannot make enough money to have it pay for its own location and expenses. As a result of the research, we have found that most of our rental customers are actually located in Andover and the surrounding cities. Once our customers heard we will be shutting down, they asked to start a petition to show the need and use of this type of service. Attached is the petition from the neighborhood to show their support. We are asking you today to help our small business and families to survive the tough times we are all going thru, by letting us keep the U -Haul business to continue servicing our neighborhood. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. If you have any questions, please contact me at 763- 754 -2526. Sincerely, Marwan Merhy Owner, Mario's Stop N Shop Help us keep the U -Haul business in Andover As part of our convenient services to the residents of Andover, we have added the u -haul service to our location. Based on our rental history in the past few months, our records indicate that many residents from Andover and other cities have used it and have been happy with the location and its convenience. You might be someone who already used it or might use it in the future, why should you go far to get it? As you may already know, The city has asked us to shut it down because of the property zoning. We are asking you today to sign this petition to show how important and convenient for you it is to have a u -haul service that close and asking the city to reconsider the zoning of the property or even issue a special permit so we can keep our convenient services to you. We appreciate your help and support and look forward to keep serving you. Mario's Stop N Shop team and management. u :VI VA Ma I MI/ �� ME MEM ll M.
