One such aspect is inventory management. Businesses should always have an accurate record of every item in their inventory to avoid confusion. Those that lack the time and manpower for this can make use of storage facilities by companies like <a href="https://deliveryservicedallas.com/warehousing/" rel="nofollow">Warehousing service Dallas</a>.jacob20martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16090990934518327220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594888.post-67924352028092247542008-02-26T23:09:00.000-05:002008-02-26T23:09:00.000-05:00Central Ave is one of the real benefits of living ...Central Ave is one of the real benefits of living in Edgemont: where else in the suburbs can you drive for 5 minutes and find good Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Italian, Armenian/Middle Eastern etc grocery stores within the same mile stretch (and find a place to park in front)? <BR/>Cosmetically, face it, Central Ave hardly looks like a village. It's already a mish-mash of ugly little strip mall type plazas, ugly office buildings and an overabundance of furniture stores. Is a good looking storage site going to pull it down? Hardly! Vive la difference! <BR/>The folks who have repeated fears of 'the wrong people' coming in are dreaming or unbelievably prejudiced. Guys, the REAL 'wrong' people are driving by already. They are shopping for food at the same stores you frequent and mailing their mail at the same post office. And guess what, if they want to rob your house, they already know where it is. <BR/>However people who use storage units are NOT lower life forms. They include apartment dwellers who have hobbies, law firms with file storage requirements, home owners looking to declutter, etc.<BR/>And anyway, you don't approve the next furniture store because Edgemont homeowners are going to buy more sofas. Those stores would shrivel if their clientele were limited to locals. They expect (and we should welcome) the drive-through clients, who will then stop and buy that cup of coffee or those flowers or that futon or that pool table or that diamond ring in the next plaza...<BR/>If storage guy thinks, based on his research, that Central Ave is a good location, let him thrive!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594888.post-41597692637646660632008-02-12T10:26:00.000-05:002008-02-12T10:26:00.000-05:00The last time anyone saw Rod (that's funny) O'Shea...The last time anyone saw Rod (that's funny) O'Shea, he was seen by many of his neighbors stealing campaign signs along Old Army Road.

In this case it is calling a self-storage facility a "warehouse" -- or "wharehouse" for those who mean to imply "whorehouse."<BR/><BR/>Central Avenue is not an attractive place. It wouldn't be even if all the stores were rented. Large business districts rarely are attractive.<BR/><BR/>If the storage company really finds this to be a good location, we should cheer. Sure we need to be sure that it is OK, that it doesn't flash neon signs, that it isn't too high, that there is a sufficient setback, and things like that. But in this climate, when we are desperately looking for more ratables and more taxes without increasing services and infrastructure, can anyone think of anything nearly as good? I can't.<BR/><BR/>Those elite people who want ratables, more school and town taxes, and less blight, yet still say no to everything that will accomplish that, have to be sidelined. Not all of us can affford such a holier-than-thou attitude.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594888.post-80963481479726093052008-02-09T10:25:00.000-05:002008-02-09T10:25:00.000-05:00Dear 7:34,When you woke up this morning, were you ...Dear 7:34,<BR/><BR/>When you woke up this morning, were you really worrying about whether the owners of the property or the storage guy would be able to justify their investment?<BR/><BR/>Yet, despite "your" qualms about locating a self-storage facility on scenic Central Avenue, even worrying that it wouldn't appear to be justified economically, you betray your own conclusion when you show concern that the area could be a warehouse district.<BR/><BR/>However it is always interesting to see how people who oppose development argue as though they were the owners and what would make sense.<BR/><BR/>In a free market, only those who are willing to assume the risks are those who participate in the upside or suffer the downside. Bystanders are welcome to observe from the sidelines.<BR/><BR/>But since you've missed the earlier classes on real estate development (Professor Harold Hill), low rise retail structures, single tenant buildings, or any low investment improvement with possession returned to the owner at the end of the lease term, are collectively called "tax-payers". The road to the highest development return which could be far-off in the future is littered by rental structures which can be torn down and replaced by higher yielding structures when the timing is right. In the meanwhile, the rental income pays the "overhead", the taxes on the land. Vacant buildings and raw land produce no income so it often makes sense to find a tenant willing to generate cash flow during what may be a lengthy holding period. <BR/><BR/>But how about this new religion that preaches Central Avenue is a beautiful place to live but you wouldn't want to visit there -- or store your lesser prized possessions. Those people who were untroubled by living in the midst of noisy traffic, large parking lots, illuminated signs, car lots, gas stations, a post office (as though that structure weren't a warehouse), firehouses, stores, stores, stores, office buildings, roadside restaurants...all the rustic trappings that would bring contentment to those who spin "my home sweet home". And then came the fateful day when the shot heard round the world appeared on this blog: a self-storage facilty wants to locate on Central Avenue.<BR/>With housing prices already heading south, can you imagine what would this new assault on this pristine verdant corridor would harken? Cry RAPE.<BR/><BR/>Clearly the best use and the one least likely to bring fear into the hearts of men and women (decent, god-fearing citizens who don't want the crime marked by the presence of a "wharehouse" or a pool table in your community) is to drive by signs proclaiming "for rent" buildings.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention that very minor benefit to the handful of residents who have no concern about the rising cost of living in Greenburgh: to all others note that the storage facility would pay taxes to the Town, school taxes to the school district while bringing no students...but isn't it really more fun to sing the blues about declining ratables than to attempt to stem the tide.<BR/><BR/>In the news for the past half year are headlines which argue that the economy is tanking: that the turmoil in the sub-prime market is not an isolated event and that the aftermath is starting the spread from industry to industry, signs leading to a recession.<BR/><BR/>Locally, the immediate effect upon residents situated around Central Avenue may not be as threatening --yet. Such collateral damage may be limited so far, hopefully, just to declining personal brokerage monthly statements.<BR/><BR/>But how much longer will it be before some anonymous blogger decides to blame Feiner for this too?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594888.post-28881214410765156312008-02-09T07:34:00.000-05:002008-02-09T07:34:00.000-05:00People who bought apertments and retail property o...People who bought apertments and retail property on Central Avenue did so with the expectation that it was not a warehouse district. <BR/><BR/>In the end, I find it difficult to beleive that land costs on Central Avenue would support a storage facility.

Hence, a variance would be needed which is what storage guy may seek.<BR/><BR/>However Central Avenue is by no means characterized as a residential street. In fact it is zoned mixed use which permits residential, office, retail etc.<BR/>However some uses are not presently permitted which does not mean that storage guy will not request a variance or exclusion.<BR/><BR/>And what's so attractive in a "residential" neighborhood about existing gas stations, fast food restaurants, car dealerships, acres of black-topped parking etc. that the addition of a self-storage facility would spoil this scenic vista?<BR/><BR/>However, what a typical self-storage facility entails is not to be confused with a warehouse. The size of the spaces rented suggests that they would be used by individuals or small companies and the spectre of an 18 wheeler semi unloading large items or quantities is more appropriate for a warehouse, not a self-storage building. <BR/><BR/>Come back when you've some more sage observations to share.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33594888.post-90502501847003052272008-02-08T23:11:00.000-05:002008-02-08T23:11:00.000-05:00Hal,How would you know what a female wants?This fe...Hal,<BR/><BR/>How would you know what a female wants?<BR/><BR/>This female for one does not want a wharehouse in a residential area. By lumping grocery stores with wharehouses you attempt to confuse the issue. A grocery store is within the zoning code for either Central Ave or 119. There is no reason why one should not locate on CA or 119.
