LORI PETERSON VALOR ENTERPRISES, INC. 8026-131st Street Apple Valley, NIN 55124 Phone: 651-603-8934 or 612-432-0286 APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT' FOR OUTDOOR STORAGE PROPERTY ADDRESS: 3161-3167 SPRUCE STREET (CURRENT OCCUPANT: DAN SEBESTA) 1. REFER TO THE FOLLOWING: A. Site plan. B. Photos of existing property. No new construction is planned. 2. STATEMENT' OF INTENDED USE: Valor Enterprises, Inc. is proposing to purchase this property from Dan Sebesta. Before doing so, it is necessary to pee-determine if our intended use will be permitted by the city. Valor Enterprises, Inc, mainly buys and sells vehicles to other dealers through the local wholesale auctions. Our market niche is the purchase of vehicles that require autobody repair of some sort. We operate a repair facility in which we disassemble the damaged parts, perform any unibody (frame) repair, replace the damaged parts with either new or used parts purchased from dealers or salvage yards, do any bodywork and paint, then detail in preparation for resale. During the course of daily activities, it is necessary to "stage" the timing of the repairs. This involves having the vehicles organized in order of planned repair while waiting for necessary parts to arrive or adequate time in the schedule to complete given repairs. The abiiity to store our vehicles outdoors during this staging time is necessary in order for us to operate. We would be storing vehicles that are in various stages of repair at any given time. We anticipate utilizing the full capacity of the yard area by dividing it into appropriate sections for those that are new arrivals, incomplete, or finished awaiting delivery to auction. We are aware of the current owner's existing non-compliance status to ordinance. According to a letter (copy provided) sent to Dan Sebesta, there are currently 13 items that need to be addressed in order for the city to issue him a conditional use permit. We understand the same conditions will therefore apply should we become the property owners. Dan Sebesta has agreed to meet these requirements as a condition of the sale of this property to us. Should anything be required of us in addition to this list of 13 items, we will complete them. Considering the existing non-compliance status of the property, we feel we are in a good position to improve the property and therefore contribute positively to the improvement of the character of the business park. First of all, we would be owners, not just tenants, having a vested interest in the area. Our business is growing, which is why we are in a position to purchase this property and make a financial commitment to the future. As one drives through this area, it is obvious there are some areas/occupants with issues pertaining to appearance, maintenance, and probably compliance. We have every intention of improving our investment and will work reasonably with the city to achieve those goals. If we do purchase this property, the city is automically achieving its goal of compliance in that Dan Sebesta will be motivated to complete
