to him is he has some additional security during the evening hours. He indicated the employees have access to the shop buildings for sanitary purposes. I have explained this is not permitted under any code and should be discontinued immediately. I will be continuing to monitor that this use is stopped. For the signage, a sign permit would be required as well as another option for mounting the signage. Signage wired to a chain link fence is not acceptable under the code. • Valor Enterprises — Staff inspected the site on Monday, July 24 and 135 identifiable cars and 9 unidentifiable cars remained on the property. On June 20, Mr. Sedaghat came into city offices to meet with staff and discuss his progress. He indicated he has been successful in removing 10 -12 cars from the site. He is doing his best to get rid of the cars, but it is not that easy. He suggested another option may be he ends up having to store the cars on another site. Staff explained that storing these cars is not allowed anywhere else in Little Canada without his business use at that location under the code, he agreed. He indicated he is at the auctions and car mart (owner to owner lot) as much as possible to sell the vehicles. He has run ads for additional staff, but is having troubles finding someone who can perform all aspects needed on his cars. Typically employees will be from a mechanical background, body work, or frame work. Not all three. Staff made it clear of the Council's intention to allow the 90 days to bring the property into compliance with no additional time granted. He stressed that all he could do was let us know his status and keep trying. • Priorities - I have attached the priority listing set by the City Council at the August 14, 2002. We should revisit this in light of the above information/projects and update the list to any new issues you feel need attention. o Day to Day complaints (junk cars, debris, nuisance, storage, etc.) o Ryan Industrial Park — have address a few properties, have a couple more to get cleaned up. o Temporary Signage — with continued enforcement of the signage this has decreased, but will need continued attention. o Review of existing CUP's to ensure compliance — have done a couple, but need to continue reviewing files. o Continue proactive junk car identification — major sweep in 2004 and hit again in 2005. This winter will continue to get rid of the junk cars. o Ruth Street Four Plexes — have addressed a few properties, but will probably require continued review. o Property Maintenance Code /Multi Housing Licensing — review in progress. o Buck Blacktop o Precision Tree — this property has started to store items outside the designated storage area as noted on the CUP. o Review of properties seeking licensure or zoning approvals to ensure we have addressed outstanding violations. o Review Woodlyn Avenue properties for unapproved outdoor storage. -4
