MINUTES CITY COUNCIL OCTOBER 10, 2012 has been spent on these issues. The Administrator also pointed out that since outdoor storage regulations were changed, that issue has been much easier to manage. Stanke asked if he could be exempt from the moratorium so that he could rent his building. Dominic Carchedi reported that he applied for an auto repair -major license for 182 Ryan Lane, Suite C. Carchedi reported on the chain of events that led to his business operating in this location prior to being issued a license. Upon notification by the City, the business was ceased and the property cleaned up. Carchedi indicated that he would like a license for his business.
