Fred Sedaghat 8026-'13 7 st Street Apple Valley, MN SS124 Phone:6S1-603-3934 or612-432-0256 BUS~b1~1ESS PLA1V SPECIFICS Today's Plan foe• Success Tomorrow Valor Enterprises, Inc. ("Valor") has been operating since 1999 in the City of Little Canada. at 3161, 3165, 3167 Spruce Street in the Ryan Industrial Park. Conditional Use Permits ("CUP") for the business were issued in 1999 for open and outdoor storage and in 2000 for retail auto sales. Both o1'these CUP approvals were subject to conditions related to limitations on the number of vehicles, paving, parking, and landscaping. Valor was also issued auto repair and auto sales licenses by the Cily of Little Canada. On September 27, 2006, the City Council oi'the City of Little Canada revoked the Conditional Use Permits for the open and outdoor storage and for the retail auto sales. Additionally, on September 27, 2006, the City Council of the City of Little Canada revoked the auto repair and auto sales licenses issued to Valor. Fred Sedaghat, the sole owner and operator of Valor, has critically reviewed the condition of his property and has aggressively taken action to show his good faith elTorts to the Little Canada City Council. Mr. Sedaghat is current on his payments to purchase the property and this business is his sole means of supporting his family. This business plan is designed to address the many issues that have occurred over the years and to establish operation perimeters constant with best business practices in the auto repair and used auto sate industry. There are currently 20 "Repairables" on the property and 30 "For Sale" cars on the property. A Repairable is a car typically purchased from local wholesale auctions. These Repairables have often been in an auto accident and require auto body repair of some sort. Once the car is repaired, it then becomes a For Sale car and is placed out in the front lot for resale by appointment or sold to dealers through local wholesale auctions. The original CUPS allowed 20 Repairables on the property and 30 Por Sale cars on the property. Temnorarv Removal of Cars from the Pa•onerty. Since October 2006, Valor has been cleaning up the site, removing debris and extracting inoperable cars from the property. Recently, 3S "Repairables", along with 4 "F or Sale" cars were removed from the property and delivered to auction site where they will remain until sold. There has been the past concern by the City of Little Canada that when cars have been moved from the property, that the cars simply were brought back after City inspections or renewals occurred. It is Mr. Sedaghat's suggestion that he be placed on a probationary period when the CUP approvals are granted to allow the City an opportunity to review his ability to stay on plan. IC is suggested that reviews of the outside storage and sales area occur every 60 days for a one year probationary period.
