The proposal included the construction of a 12,500 square foot building to provide for an all-enclosed operation. The site plan for the new construction was also approved by City Council. Observations: On October 7, 1993, Dan Karst applied for a building permit for the new structure on Lot 2. That building permit has been ready since October 18 but cannot be released until Mr. Karst provides the $46,680 financial guarantee for site improvements called for in the Site Plan Development Permit. The Site Plan Development Permit requires that the site be developed by June 30, 1994. With the exception of applying for the building permit, Mr. Karst has not taken any action to construct the required building on Lots 2, 3 and 4; yet operations relating to his aluminum recycling activity on Lot 1 have extended onto these lots. This extension of operations prior to the construction of the building and the outside storage of inoperable equipment, debris, and feedstock preparation constitute violations of the conditional use permit.issued for Lots 2, 3 and 4. You may recall that Mr. Karst's amended conditional use permit for Lot 1 and new conditional use permit for Lots 2, 3 and 4, seriously hinged on whether or not he brought Lot 1 into compliance with his current CUP and cleaned up Lots 2, 3 and 4. He put forth the effort and received his approvals. Since that time, he has resumed methods of operations that are flagrant violations of his conditional use permit and allowed the condition of premises on Lots 2, 3 and 4 to again decline to a totally unacceptable level. On a drive by inspection on December 6, it was noted by Staff that clean up efforts apparently have been initiated, however, Lots 2, 3 and 4 were not totally cleared of debris, inoperable vehicles and feedstock preparation activity.
