I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />! <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> ',. <br /> <br />COUNCIL BUSINESS: <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING <br /> <br />Case #1: <br /> <br />Consider Revocation of Conditional Use Permit for Lots 2, 3 <br />and 4, Block 4, Gateway North Industrial Park Plat 2; Case of <br />Danny's Tranny's <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that in May 1993, Mr. Karst applied for a conditional <br />use pehnit to disassemble engines and transmissions and conduct wholesale activities on <br />Lots 2, 3 and 4 of Block 4, Gateway North Industrial Park Plat #2. The proposal included <br />the construction of a 12,500 square foot building to provide for an all-enclosed operation. <br />Mr. Karat applied for a building permit that has been ready since October 18, 1993; <br />however, il~cannot be released until Mr. Karst provides the $46,680 financial guarantee for <br />site improvements called for in the Site Plan Development Permit. Ms. Frolik stated that <br />Mr. Karat!s: amended conditional use permit for Lot 1 and new conditional use permit for <br />Lots 2, 3 and 4, seriously hinged on whether or not he brought Lot 1 into compliance with <br />his current 'CUP and cleaned up Lots 2, 3 and 4. He put forth the effort and received his <br />approvals. Since that time, he has resumed methods of operation that are violations of this <br />CUP and allowed the condition of the premises on Lots 2, 3 and 4 to again decline to a <br />totally unacceptable level. Ms. Frolik stated a drive-by inspection was done on December <br />6, 1993, and it was apparent that clean-up efforts have been initiated; however, Lots 2, 3, <br />and 4 were not totally cleared of debris, inoperable vehicles and feedstock preparation <br />activity. She stated that this public hearing has been scheduled to take public comment in <br />the event City Council chooses to revoke Mr. Karst's permit. <br /> <br />Mayor Gilbertson closed the regular portion of the City Council meeting at 7:20 p.m. in <br />order to conduct the public hearing. <br /> <br />Mayor Gilbertson called the regular portion of the City Council meeting back to order at <br />7:34 p.m. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Peterson to direct Staff <br />to draft a findings of fact for Council's consideration that would support the revocation of <br />the conditional use permit issued to Danny's Tranny's for Lots 2, 3, and 4, Gateway North <br />Industrial Park Plat 2. <br /> <br />Motion carried, Voting Yes: Mayor Gilbertson, Councilmembers Beyer, Peterson and <br />Hardin.
