RE: Metro Towing &Recovery PCD
Mr. Moore,
Please find attached the cover letter, application, filing fee and PCD application for the above referenced
project. This property is located at 9715 Colonel Glenn Road and for years was owned and used by
Daniel Utility Construction for their headquarters. Currently, the property is vacant, delipidated and
being used for a dumping ground.
The following is a note from the developer and owner of Metro Towing &Recovery, Lee Maris.
"Metro Towing and Recovery has been in operation since the late 1990's. I have been involved since
M09. We are a consent towing operation that not only accepts "cash calls" from the general public but
has contracts with the Little Rock Police Dept, Arkansas State Police and the Pulaski County Sheriff's
Dept. We have relationships with a majority of the car dealerships in Central Arkansas with a number of
those located around the Colonel Glenn / 1430 Interchange area. This adds greatly to the desirability of
this location for Metro's headquarters. We have 6 Flatbed/Rollback trucks, one heavy duty truck and
one medium duty truck. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We operate a
secure impound lot where customers and other wrecker companies come to retrieve vehicles. My plan
is to erect an 8 foot opaque fence around the property that will screen our operation from our
neighbors and cars driving on Colonel Glenn Road. I think this is important for the security of the
vehicles we are responsible for and for the aesthetics of the adjacent neighbors. I would greatly
appreciate your consideration, for I truly believe that this property is currently an eye -sore and not safe.
With some vision, sweat equity and of course money, I think we can make this piece of property an asset
to this area and Little Rock."
Please place this item on the next available Planning Commission agenda. Do not hesitate to contact
me should you have any questions or require additional information.
