CASE #10 -HEXON REGARDING THE BOX CAR ISSUE: City Attorney Goodrich stated that Councils motion was that we take~iHexon to court for moving in a box car without City approval. The court's decision was a $150 fine and 30 days in jail, the 30 days being suspended if Mr. IIexon complies with the City Code for one year. The next step is to inform the County if he is or is not in compliance with the City Code. If he is not, the County will proceed to invoke the 30 day sentence. City Administrator Schnelle stated that if the box car is going to be used as a place of storage, it will have to be inspected by a building inspector. If it is to be used as a place of business, it will have to be inspected by a structural engineer. Does the Council want it inspected or removed. At this time, Mr. Hexon presented copies of a letter to him from Graphic Design Architects dated July 28, 1981, stating they could not take on the project since matter was pending in court. ~-~ Building Tnspector Berg stated he had been out to the site but had not performed an actual inspeciton. Mr. Hexon stated the delay On his part was due to injuries sustained in an accident. Mayor Gamec informed Hexon that he has had plenty of opportunities to comply with the ordinance, that the city has been more than lenient and that he does not feel the structure will meet code requirements. Mr. Hexon replied that the box car is now gOing to be used for storage. Mayor Gamecs advice was to deny Hexon's request, because the City does not want a lot of box cars sitting around without being dressed up. Councilman Cox stated that if it was not going to be permitted, why did we choose he-come in with a Site' '3 Design Plan? Now we have a directive from Court that he is to be in compliance with the City Code. If it ' wasn't an offensive idea to the Council in the first place, why. are we now stating that it does not fit into the conmmity? Mayor Gamec replied' that when Mr. Hexon first brought in the box car, it hadn't been inspected. '- -·· · . Councilman Cox replied that we have a letter from Berg stating he did visit the site. If Council is going to be this harsh, we have other offenses in the City of Ramsey, that are just as bad, that we have done nothing about. We should be fair to residents as well as commercial. We have a violation of ordinances. -.-- the.. directive'_ is then to comply. ~ ~, ,:.,.. C/August 25, 1981 :: -. _.' . - ' ~ ~ : . _ _. _'"-- .
