6/24/03 Meeting with Fred from Valor Enterprises, Joe] Hanson, and Jessica Jagoe to discuss CUP compliance. At this meeting, Fred indicated with the change in the economy the site plan that was approved in 1999 is not going to meet his needs. He also was not aware when he purchased Che property that the rear lot had drainage issues. He noted he was not able to bring his customers back there due to standing water most times. He explained the nature of his business. Fred will purchase a car and use that car for parts needed on other cars. (Ex. He will take one car and will use the bumper for one, the taillights for another, and so on. This way he gets three or four good cars. In the end he scraps the one car he bought for parts.) Fred indicated he will usually have the scrap car around for about 90 days to get full use of it. He also does auto body work aizd repairs for customers. Customers are either new clients or existing clients bring work back to him. Joel reminded Fred about the issue of outdoor storage and although this is needed to nm his business he was not approved to store the scrap parts. Fred inquired about putting a shed in his rear yard for storage. Joel told him that would not be a problem. He would need to amend his CUP and pull a building permit. Joel asked Fred about how many cars were on the lot today. Fred commented he would estimate he had 100 or so cars on the lot. Joel indicated to Fred that 100 cars exceed what was allowed under his CUP. Joel asked Fred if given 30 days would he be able to reduce that to 75 cars. Fred agreed. Joel commented that if Fred was to show that he was willing to bring his property into compliance we would work item by item. Fred said "yes" he waarted to be in compliance. Joel also asked about in that 30 days removing all the parts and tires from the outdoor storage area. Fred agreed to remove it from the property or store it inside. Joel repeated that in 30 days we would be stopping out to Valor and he needed to be down to 75 cars and have junk, parts, tires removed. Fred agreed. If in that 30 days he has not completed the work the city will take strong enforcement action against him. At the end of the 30 days then new goals will be set to continue bring the property into compliance. Jessica commented that if Fred did not want to move his sales lot to the rear yard due to water he still needed to amend his CUP. Jessica also noted that although we are agreeing to start by removing 25 cars Fred will still need to bring it down to 50 as approved in his CUP. The site plan also shows parking in the area where the cars are currently for sale. If he moves the sales lot he still needs to account somewhere else for the required parking. Parking needs to be striped. Fred understood those terms.
