CASE # ,,~ REQUEST FOB EXTENSION TO INSTALL REQUIRED SITE IMPROVEMENTS AND WAIVER OF FINANCIAL GUARANTEE REQUIREMENT; CASE OF DALLES R.V. By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: As you may rec , in thc Fall of 1992, Dalles R.V. was proposing to relocate from 7129 Hwy. #10 N.W. to 7103~ Hwy. #10 N.W. At the time, conditional use permits were required for outside display areas an~ outside display areas in addition to driveways and customer/employee parking areas, were requb~ to be paved and curbed. In November of 1992, the City issued a conditional use permit to Dal[es R.V. for the outside display area at 7103 Hwy. #10 N.W. The terms of the conditional use permit required pavement and curbing, a deadline for installing the improvements and a financial g~arantee ensuring the installation of the improvements, in accordance with City Code. Accordingly, Mr. Dalles Notermann, owner of Dalles R.V., placed the financial guarantee at the City in the ~rm of a letter of credit in the amount of $47,868.00, 150% of the estimated cost of the improveme0ts, and the conditional use permit was issued. Observations: Mr. Noterrnann d~d not meet the October, 1993 deadline for installing the improvements. When the expiration date~ on the letter of credit approached, the issuer was notified that the improvements were not complet~ and the letter must be renewed. The issuer notified Dalles Notermann and his daughter called to Iprotest the required site improvements and the required financial guarantee. At that time, it was c ~clynmunicated that their options were to request an inspection of the improvements installed to date to ~educe the amount of the financial guarantee to be provided, and in the meantime request a Council extension to install the site improvements. It was never meant to be conveyed that the letter of cr~Iit could lapse, but Dalles R.V. took no action to renew it, and it did expire. Because of additic~.al improvements to be made to the building at 7103 Hwy. #10 N.W., Dalles is requesting that the ~tne period for installing the required site improvements be extended from 1993 to 1997 and that n~ financial guarantee be required. Dalles is willing to let his Motor Vehicle Sales license serve as hisicommitment to complete the required site improvements. In recent years, the Council has held steadfastly to requiring the installation of the required site improvements and providing financial guarantees. The following items are enclosed for your review: a) b) c) d) Site~location map Apti~roved site plan Cor~_ditional Use Permit Let/er from Dalles R.V. dated January 11, 1994 Recommendation: It is important for ~e City to preserve its credibility in this case in recognition of those commercial developments that _~ave come before you in the past that were made to comply with requirements and those commercial developments that will come to you in the future from which you will desire the same pefform~rice standards. q/
