MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 23, 2004 to sort through materials and clean up of that area first. Peterson indicated that they are requesting an additional 60 days and would make every effort to become compliant with the original site plan. Peterson reported that at the last meeting with the Council they were caught off guard with how cut and dried everything was. LaValle pointed out that the Council has been dealing with this issue since February of2004. Petersen pointed out that they applied for an Amendment to their Conditional Use Permit and the status of that Amendment had been pending with the City. Fahey noted that the amendment has been denied and Valor was informed that they need to comply with the approved site plan for their property. LaValle commented on the amount of staff time that has been necessary in trying to get the Valor property compliant. Peterson indicated that they had requested an Amendment to their CUP and that issue had been pending. She indicated that Valor has been compliant on previous inspections. The City Administrator disagreed. Anderson asked if the City had the ability to grant a 60 -day extension subject to a per day fine for every day that compliance is not achieved after the 60 days lapses. The City Attorney did not believe the Code provided the Council with that authority. Fahey expressed concern with granting extensions to property owners that do not seem to be cooperating. Peterson stated that it was her understanding that other property owners have been granted extensions. Fahey pointed out that Valor Enterprises must comply with the original site plan. If a 60 -day extension is granted and there is no compliance on day 61, Fahey felt a citation should be issued. Fahey pointed out that there was agreement on the part of Valor to comply with the original site plan. Rather than comply, the condition of the property has gotten worse. Fahey indicated that there should have been compliance even during the time that the request for an Amendment to the CUP was being processed. Peterson indicated that she is requesting an additional 60 days to achieve compliance. She indicated that she only wished that other property owners were held to the same standards. The City Administrator disagreed with Peterson's statement, and pointed out that Valor was a new business that moved into the City under established criteria. That criteria has not been complied with from the outset. There are enforcement issues pending at some of the long - established businesses that the City is working with to resolve.
