W~HAT WE, THE RESIDENTS OF RESERVOIR BOULEVARD
AND COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN
WITH THE STATION ON 37TH AND CENTRAL.
If the station were to stay on the location it is on now, Jeff would profit by:
1. A larger store:
Moving the 3 auto repair stalls to the West side of Central Avenue will give Jeff the added space
· to enlarge his store.
By removing the first house on Central, next to the station, Jeff could make the store L-shaped
and have an even larger store.
By removing the second house on Central he would have the space for parking.
2. Auto repair stalls:
Jeff will be adding five new repai'r stalls on the West side of Central, giving him a total of eight
repair stalls which we believe is his largest source of revenue.
Five new auto stalls = increase in revenue.
3. Two new Express Lubes on West side of Central:
Increase in revenue.
Jeff's revenue will increase by:
1. Five new auto repair stalls. A total of eight stalls.
2. Two new Express Lubes.
3. A~ larger store with which to generate more revenue.
Th'is add~ up to a total of eight new sources of revenue.
4. There are 1.2 gas pumps on the present site.
What the city of Columbia Heights will get:
A new building on the West side of Central.
A new building on 37th and Central.
What the residents of Reservoir Boulevard and Columbia Heights will get:
The property at 3740 and 3802 will remain residential.
No restaurant.
