2) Comparison tO a similar business Mr. Rychner informed staff that Danny's Aluminum Processing, Inc. accepts scrap metals from the general public for purpose of recycling. Due to this, he too should have been subject to Ordinance ~90-5 at the time Danny's applied for the CUP amendment in the fall of 1990. Sylvia Frolik, Zoning Administrator, ascertained that Mr. Karst is offering the recycling service to the general public. Mrs. Frolik subsequently informed Mr. Karst that to continue to do so would constitute a violation of his CUP, and this activity must stop immediately or he should apply for a CUP amendment to address this portion of his operation. Mr. Karst stated that he would cease offering this service to the general public. 3) Time charged for research and interpretation Total charges to this CUP (14280 Sunfish Lake Blvd) escrow account (Finance #804304) Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc.

Escrow Account Total Charges 510.00 $4,419.64 Mr. Rychner has made payments of ..................... ($1,445.92) An account balance remains of ............................... $2,973.72 Upon receipt of Mr. Rychner's letter, I asked Mr. Otto to review their file for the purpose of determining how much time was spent on research or interpretation of the City's Ordinance #90-5. Mr. Otto has reviewed their f'fle and issued a letter in this regard; a copy of this letter is attached. Mr. Otto has stated: "If we liberally interpret our reaction to City direction or queries, there may be 10.5 hours of my time and .25 hours of Mary LeComte's time (also some of Bill Goodrich's time) which responded to either Planning and Zoning or administrative decisions." Based on Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc. rates, these hours would have been billable to this account in the amount of $691.00. Of the legal costs incurred, 2 hours are referenced definitions and opinion; this legal cost is $200.00 The total charges directly applicable to research and interpretation are $891.00 While it is likely that the hours detailed in the above paragraph provided reference for the future and as a result, may not be incurred on a future similar application, the remaining charges resulted from the CUP process. Mr. Otto's letter also states "I would like to point out that this particular CUP application was not well defined or organized...At the public hearing and subsequent case discussion, the Applicant revised or changed his position as to what the operation would entail. This necessitated changes to the findings and to the CUP. In follow-up discussions, additional variations would be made by the Applicant, again necessitating revisions. In short, the City's position was that of reacting to a fluid application."
