recommends approval of the request for an Interim Use Permit. The Permit is drafted to allow Mr. Bialon use of the west half of the site (Phase 1) without benefit of the required pavement and curbing until June 30, 2003. A financial surety will be required to ensure timely installation of the improvements. Absolutely no use of the east half of the site (Phase 2) may occur until that area has been improved in accordance with the approved grading and drainage plan. City Staff also recommends waiving the 10-day interval rule between Planning Commission and City Council action. If Council is not inclined to waive the 10 day rule, then City Staff will notify Mr. Bialon that an extension will be imposed and the request will be on the January 14, 2003 Council agenda for action. Councilmember Anderson stated that she knows of an area in Ramsey where they installed asphalt on a property last week. She inquired if there was any chance of getting the asphalt in this week since it is going to be so warm. Todd Bialon, E-Z Auto Sales, Inc., replied that he has not purchased the property as of yet. He is waiting for approval from the City before closing on the property. City Engineer Olson noted that the area that was paved last week is only temporary and will be removed next spring. Councilmember Kurak stated that she would be abstaining from the discussions and voting on the issue. Motion by Mayor Gamec, seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to waive the 10-day interval rule between Planning Commission and City Council action on the request from E-Z Auto for an Interim Use Permit. Motion carded. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Anderson, and Hendriksen. Voting No: None. Abstain: CouncilmemberKurak. Councilmember Hendriksen stated that $23,875 seems to be to low for being 125 percent of the cost of site improvements. Community Development Director Frolik explained that that amount is for the west half of the property. She explained that phase I is what is being required to be paved by June 2003. If the business were to expand in the future they would have to pave the second phase. Councilmember Hendriksen inquired if there was strong language that they could include in the conditional use permit indicating that the unpaved area ~cannot be used to store vehicles. Community Development Director Frolik noted that condition #4 states "That absolutely no use of that area identified as Phase 2 on the Plan can occur until the required pavement and curbing has been installed in accordance with the Plan."
