MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 26, 2000 There was no one present from the general public wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by Morelan, seconded by Scalze, the public hearing was closed. The Zoning Administrator reported that she received a call from the St. Paul Zoning Administrator who informed her that there are outstanding code issues with Valor's location in the City of St. Paul. Based on that information, the Zoning Administrator recommended that the Council require either a bond be posted or an escrow deposit made to ensure the required improvements and outstanding code violations are addressed at 3161-3167 Spruce Street. Lori Peterson, Valor Enterprises, reported that Valor does not own the property in St. Paul, but merely leases it. She indicated that the problems with the St. Paul property are those of the property owner, not Valor Enterprises. Peterson indicated that this is one of the reasons that Valor is seeking to purchase their own property rather than having to deal with tenant/landlord issues. Fahey pointed out that the City can place a condition on the motor vehicle sales lot license that the property must be brought into conformance with all Code requirements, otherwise the license will be revoked. The City Attorney pointed out that it would be the Conditional Use Permit for the motor vehicle sales lot that would be revoked if Code compliance is not achieved. Morelan introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2000-I-19 -APPROVING THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ALLOWING A MOTOR VEHICLES SALES LOT AT 3161-3167 SPRUCE STREET AS REQUESTED BY VALOR ENTERPRISES SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ZONING ADMINISTRATOR AS OUTLINED IN HER REPORT DATED NOVEMBER 30, 1999 The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Scalze. Ayes (5) Morelan, Scalze, Pedersen, LaValle, Fahey. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted.
