I Case #2: Request for Extension to Site Plan Approval; Case of Bernie Vevea, Ve-Ve, Inc. I I I I I Zoning Administrator Frolik explained that on October 22, 1991, the City approved an application from Mr. Bernie Vevea of Ve-Ve, Inc. for site plan approval to construct a 5,900 square :foot expansion to his existing facility located at 14047 Azurite Street NW. City code es~blishes that site plan approvals are effective for one year. Since that time, the City has granted three one-year extensions to the site plan for the expansion. She explained some areas in the site plan that would be deficient if the plan had been granted approval more recently. City Administrator Schroeder stated that staff was originally going to recommend denial of Mr. Vevea's request. However, we have talked with Mr. Vevea and it's his expectation that he will be able to construct the extension this spring. He told Mr. Vevea that he (Schroeder) would recommend that Council grant this extension with the caveat that it would be the last extension. He then recommended Council approve the extension until the end of September 1996. He added that he and Mr. Vevea had also talked about economic development activities and we decided we would talk about EDA participation. Mr. Vevea stated he wanted to do a lot work with Ryan Schroeder and the City Engineer and he believes it will happen. With the addition, we were going to go over 16,000 square feet. The state ordinance says you have to put in a fire sprinkling system and without City water in that area, he would first have had to put in a holding pond, a fh'e pump, etc. This would have cost as much as the addition so we did quite an extensive amount of work with an engineer to put up fire walls, etc. Mr. Vevea explained what his business manufactures. Mayor Hardin commented that Ms. Frolik brought up some changes that would not be approved today that were approved four years ago. He inquired if Mr. Vevea is willing to discuss these with City staff. I I I Mr. Vevea replied he will discuss anything the City wants and whatever Mr. Schroeder recommends. Mr. Schroeder offered to bring the discussion points back to Council. Motion by Councilmember Peterson and seconded by Councilmember Beyer to adopt Resolution g95-11-252 approving Mr. Bernie Vevea's request for an extension to the 1991 site plan for the expansion of Ve-Ve, Inc.
