Apple Valley, MN SSL4 Phone:651-603-3934 or 612-432-0256 i3iJSiNi:SS PLAN SP~;CiFiCS Today's Plan for Success Tomon•ow Valor Enterprises, Inc. ("Valor") has been operating since 1999 in the City of Little Canada at 3161, 3165, 3167 Spruce Street in [he Ryan Industrial Park. Conditional Use Permits ("CUP") for the business were issued in 1999 for open and rnltdoor storage and in 2000 for retail auto sales. Both of 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 City of Little Canada. On September 27, 2006, the City Council of 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 efforts to the Little Canada City Council. NIr. 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 retail' and used auto sale 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 CIJI's allowed 20 .Repairables on the property and 30 For Sale cars on the property. Temnorarv Removal of Cars from the Pronerty Since October 2006, Valor has been cleaning up the site, removing debris and extracting inGpera'iJlc CnrS ~'Giii the prvpcrty. RcCcnti , 35 "RE aIl'ab1eS" flIGIl ~+ Y p ,~ with 4 "For Safe" 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 broueht back after City inspections or renewals occurred. It is Mr. Sedaghat's suggestion that he be placed on a probationary period when the Ct1P approvals are granted to allow the City an opportmiity to review his ability to stay on plan. _. _ .t Is SL~~~P,SlGd'iiai °ViCwS OC iiiE GlliSldZ 5tGr age and SalcS area GCCiir eVGry 6v iiayS i01' a UnZ year probationary period.
