M. TO REVIEW TIIE PRELIMINARY 2005 BUDGET The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Blesener. Ayes (5) Montour, Blesener, Fahey, Anderson, LaValle. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. VALOR Fahey noted the staff reported relative to compliance with the approved ENTi';RPRISES site plan {or Valor Enterprises. Staff reports that while significant progress has been made in complying with the plan, there is still not full compliance. Therefore, staff recommends that Valor's auto repair and auto sales licenses not be renewed. Lori Peterson, Valor Enterprises, described in detail the improvements that have been made to the site. Ieterson felt the main issue was the number of vehicles on the site and the proportion of repairable cars to cars for sale. The approved plan limits Valor Enterprises to 20 repairable cars and 30 cars for sale. Peterson indicated that in reducing the number of vehicles on the site, Valor sold all of the saleable vehicles. The result is that there are approximately 5] vehicles on the site, most of whidt are repairables. Peterson indicated that Valor thought this would be acceptable to the City and that they would not be held strictly to the 20 repairable vehicles and 30 cars for sale. Peterson indicated that it will take a matter of time to repair the vehicles so some can be sold bringing the number of repairables down to 20. Blesener indicated that the proportion established by the City is very important as the intent is to prevent Valor Enterprises from looking like a junkyard. Fahey asked how long it would take Valor to reduce the number of repairables clown to 20. Peterson estimated that it would take 4 to 6 weeks to get the number down to 40. Blesener stated that he would be willing to increase the number of repairables to 30 and reduce the number of vehicles for sale to 20. Blesener also suggested giving Valor a 30-day extension for compliance. Fahey stated that he did not agree with changing the proportion of cars given that the intention was to have the primary use as a vehicles sales lot versus repair lot. However, he did agree with granting a time extension to achieve compliance. Fahey asked if Valor could achieve compliance in 30 days. 15
