City Code <br />states that the applicant has one year to initiate the conditional use permit unless they request and <br />receive an extension. The extension must be reviewed by the Planning' Commission and City <br />Council. St. Paul Terminals has not initiated their conditional use permit for a metal recycling <br />fadility. 'On March 20, 2002, the City received a written request from Bradley J. Martinson, legal <br />representative for St. Paul Terminals, requesting an extension to initiate the conditional use <br />permit. The stated reason for the delay in initiating the use is economic conditions in the- <br />recycling industry. .. <br /> <br />The approved site plan for St. Terminals includes removal of all steel and chain link fence and <br />encompassing the work yard with a 13 foot high concrete wall by September 30, 2002. The wall <br />will provide 100% opacity screening and will be the base structure from which the storage bins <br />will be constructed within the yard. Outdoor storage of containers and company trucks and the <br />retail sale of timbers is proposed on Lot 2 (no activity is proposed for Lots 3 and 4). <br /> <br />The City is also continuing to work with St. Paul Terminals for a possible future expansion and <br />development of an all enclosed facility in the industrial park. <br /> <br />-255- <br /> <br /> <br />
