12. That St. Paul Terminals approached the City Council on May 8, 2001, requesting the reassignment of the conditional use permit and as of May 21, 2001, the facility is closed to all activity until the City takes final action on this conditional use permit application. • 13. That on May 8, 2001, the City Council expressed the desire to initiate proceedings to revoke Danny's Inc. conditional use permit based on the history of violations and consider a new conditional use permit for St. Paul Terminals based on the scope of their proposed use. 14. That the City received an application for a conditional use permit from the Applicant which identifies the intent to operate a recycling facility that will include: a redemption center for ferrous and non - ferrous metals, processing ferrous and non - ferrous metals including melting down aluminum, processing automobiles, and retail sales of recycled railroad timbers. • 15. That the Applicant has submitted a site plan dated May 23, 2001 that identifies processing areas for the various activities in the building and on the grounds. The building on Lot 1 will be used for office space, indoor metal processing and storage, including the aluminum melt furnaces. The yard on Lot 1 will be used for processing automobiles, and processing, baling and storing other ferrous scrap. Lot 2 is proposed to be used for outdoor storage of saleable timbers, containers, and truck parking. 16. That during their management of the site over the past 2 years, the Applicant has erected a 100% opaque steel fencing on parts of Lots 1 and 2 that will provide some screening of the outside activities; however, the Applicant is not proposing to add any additional screening to Lot 2 because the future master plan contemplates expansion to the east versus the north. 17. That if the Applicant successfully assumes ownership of the Subject Property, they have expressed a desire to work with the City to expand their facility into an indoor operation that will include redevelopment of other blighted parcels in the industrial park and facilitate the westerly extension of 141 Avenue N.W. 18. That the proposed use will not create excessive additional requirements at public cost for public facilities and services. 19.
