Home

Councilmember Cox stated that the city encourages business growth to improve employment opportunities and tax base; Mr. Root is wasting time and money by not accomplishing what he agreed to in the permit agreement. If Council action is to direct findings of fact be prepared to revoke Mr. Root's permit, hopefully, Mr. Root will be in compliance by the time those findings are presented to council for action and consideration can be given to not revoking the permit. Councilmember DeLuca noted that the proposed findings of fact state that on July 23, 1986 Mr. Root agreed to get into compliance within one month; photos reveal that has not happened. Councilmember DeLuca stated that he would be in favor of a 2-4 week extension and if at that time nothing has happended, there will be no further discussion and action will be taken to revoke the permit. Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember Sorteberg to direct City Staff to schedule the case of Mr. Gerald Root's conditional use permit on the regular October Council meeting agenda, at which time Staff will have available for review and action findings of fact to revoke the permit. Further Discussion: Councilmember Cox requested that Mr. Ylitalo express to Mr. Root Council's desire for Mr. Root's business to continue but that based on the conditional use permit agreement, Council is compelled to require compliance with the agreement within reason. Mr. Hartley suggested that either Mr. Root or his representative may also provide input to the findings of fact by October 15. Mr. Goodrich stated that Mr. Root or his representative may also offer testimony at the October Council meeting and Council should accept that testimony. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers Schlueter, Cox, Sorteberg and DeLuca.
