City Staff desires to work collaboratively to identify a timely solution to complete the terms of the agreement contained within the Permit. City Staff will be preparing a case for the July 10, 2012 City Council meeting to discuss various options with the City Council and seek their direction on how the City Council would prefer City Staff to proceed. City Staff would prefer to suggest a brief extension (something like 30 to 60 days) to allow you an opportunity to get updated and complete drainage/grading plans submitted and approved, obtain your WMO permit, and complete the class V installation. Staffs recommendation would be based on the agreement that the deadline would not be extended a second time and assurances would be in place to ensure that the required steps will be completed within the extension time frame. Another option that could be considered would be to reduce the amount of inventory on the Subject Property to the existing limits of pavement (keeping in mind the requirement to accommodate customer and employee parking on site rather than on the public road). Assuming the temporary extension is granted by the City Council, and you agree to the terms of the extension, the Subject Property must be brought into conformance with the terms of the Permit. If the terms of the Permit are not completed, the City will be forced to explore the option of scheduling a public hearing to consider revoking the Permit. While not desirable to initiate a revocation hearing, Staff does not have the authority to continue to allow you to operate beyond the parameters and conditions of the Permit. The Permit was approved in December of 2011, which was intended to provide ample time to develop plans and complete the installation of class V surfacing. Our intent is to work with you to accomplish the required improvements, but since the deadline with the Permit is upon us, we need to receive direction from our City Council on how they would prefer to address this matter. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me by phone at (763) 433-9905 or by email at canderson@ci.ramsev.mn.us.
