MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />SEPTEMBER 27, 2006 <br />Blesener clarified that resolution of tonight's issue would not resolve the <br />court issue. The City Attorney replied thaC that was correct. <br />SedaghaC indicated that staying in business is what is most important to <br />him. <br />Keis indicated that a year's extension will not happen. He indicated that <br />he might support an extension of 60 days; for example, however, there is <br />no assurance that Sedaghat would make any progress during that time <br />period. Keis noted that if the City revokes the CUPS and does not renew <br />the licenses, there is the issue of what will be done with the cars. Keis <br />indicated that abatement becomes the City's problem and will cost the <br />City additional money. <br />Blesener pointed out the many assurances that Mr. Sedaghat has made in <br />the past that he will bring the property into compliance. Keis stated that <br />he did not want to grant an extension and then have Che same <br />conversations with Mr. Sedaghat again. <br />Sedaghat again asked for an extension through the winter and pointed out <br />that once it snows, no one will see the cars anyway. Blesener pointed out <br />that body shops do work in Che winter. <br />Allan noted that this conversation has been going on with Mr. Sedaghat <br />since July of 2000. She indicated that she supported revocation of the <br />Conditional Use Permits. <br />Keis and Blesener indicated that they were torn on the issue of granting <br />additional time. Keis pointed out that if any progress had been made and a <br />plan brought to the Counci] for bringing the property into compliance, he <br />would vote for an extension. <br />Sedaghat indicated that he would like to meet with each Council Member <br />on an individual basis. Montour noted that Sedaghat had the opportunity <br />over the past 90 days to contact individual Council Members. <br />Montour indicated that he could go either way on the request for an <br />extension, but noted that there has been little progress made on cleaning <br />up this property. Montour pointed out that this issue has cost the <br />taxpayers of Little Canada too much money to deal with Mr. Sedaghat's <br />problem. Montour indicated that either aclean-up plan with a very short <br />time period was needed, or the CUP's should be revoked and the licenses <br />not renewed. <br />13 <br />
