inventory boats. Customer pickups and drop-offs will likely also be in this area of the property. At any given time, this area could have roughly 100 boats in this back parking lot. The smaller North West Building (Building 3) will be used for new boat prep, wet sanding, buffing, and fiberglass repair. All ' this work is done inside. On the SE corner of the property we intend to create an elevated display area to park 3-4 new boats on concrete slabs, insta.11 an �� 80' flag pole and fly a 20' x 30' American Flag, as well as i install a pylon sign with our logo. We will illuminate this flag at , night and follow all proper flag flying etiquette. We are a � company that is proud of America, we sell American made ' products. We think an American flag of this size and height is a I great tribute to Pequot La.kes and their renaming of old 371 to I Patriot Ave. The flag will be tall enough and large enough to � see from 371 whether traveling northbound or southbound, � again helping anchor Patriot Ave and the town of Pequot with a landmark. In addition to the pylon sign, it is important to have a Minnesota Inboard Water Sports sign at the entrance to the property on Pa�riot Ave. The sign will have an aesthetic in keeping with the area with a size of approximately 4' x 6'. By having 2 signs on the property we can attract customers off of 371 and Patriot Ave. This property's unique location, nestled between 371 and Patriot Ave as the gateway to Pequot Lakes deserves to have exceptional signage to welcome people to Pequot and get them onto Patriot Ave. We would also be very interested in cooping a separate sign with the city, welcoming people to Pequot Lakes. This sign could incorporate an LED sign informing people of local Pequot events, like Patriot athletic events, Bean Hole Days, Antique Snowmobile Rendezvous, 4� of July Parade, and more, while � again, helping anchor and reinforce Patriot Ave and the City of Pequot. This sign would give your other local businesses an opportunity to advertise for their special events, or could scroll all local businesses on a loop. We attract a large volu.me of families to our dealerships, for everything from boat shopping, to picking up lifejackets or a new tube or toy for the water. It would be a missed opportunity for the business district if the city didn't add some additional signage to highlight the local businesses for our customers.
