MINNESOTA 55303 - TDD (612) 427-8591 October 27, 1993 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Mr, Dan Karst, Jr. Danny's Aluminum Processing, Inc. 14050 Basalt St. N.W. Ramsey, MN 55303 Re: Operations of facility Dear Dan: On March 9, 1993, the Ramey City Council approved the issuance of an amended conditional use permit to allow for the disassembly of engines and transmissions within the building at your aluminum processing facility on Lot 1. On the 22nd of June, 1993, the Ramsey City Council approved your request for a conditional use permit to disassemble engines and transmissions and conduct wholesale activities on Lots 2, 3 and 4. Enclosed for your records are fully executed copies of the findings of facts and the conditional use permits that were approved. Also enclosed for your records is a copy of the Site Plan Development Permit issued for the construction of the new building on Lots 2 and 3. Upon providing the City with the $46,680.00 financial guarantee, I wilt authorize the Building Official to release the building permit for the structure. Since these proceedings began in March, I have received 10 incident reports and/or complaints regarding your operations. As you recall, obtaining the conditional use permit for Lots 2, 3 amd 4, and site plan approval for your new building hinged on your improving the condition of premises on all four lots. You did put forth'the effort and your requests were approved. Since then, I have been observing your operations and the condition of premises has been steadily declining at an alarming rate. This situation is unacceptable and constitutes violations of both of your conditional use permits, at a minimum, in the following areas: 1. Preparation of feedstock outside of opaguely screened areas. 2. Deterioration of required 90% opacity screening. 3. Storage of feedstock and other materials not screened from adjoining properties. 4. Outside storage of debris, inoperable equipment and vehicles. 5. Use of trailers for long term storage. 6. Operations on Lots 2, 3 and 4 are not being conducted wholly within a building. Traffic not being controlled so as to avoid congestion of public right-of-way and traffic hazards.
