The canopy at 2390 11 County Road 10 sustained damage and was noticeably listing. Staff directed the property 12 owner/operator to make corrective actions or provide, in lieu of that, an engineering report. Mr. 13 Bteibet took corrective action in removing the canopy from the post and putting it into the shared 14 parking area with the former Donut Connection. The canopy has now been in that location since 15 mid-October. Housing/Code Enforcement Inspector Anderson explained that additionally the car 16 wash on that property, which is non-operational, sustained damage to the front window. It was 17 blown inside the building so the building is open to access through that space. The business was 18 issued a notice of violation on November 28, 2005 to CHO Investments in care of Michael 19 Cleary and to Khaldon Bteibet. Notice was delivered personally and mailed by first class mail. 20 He explained that because of the background of continued repairs not completed in a timely 21 manner, the owner was notified it would be before the City Council to request abatement. 22 Housing/Code Enforcement Inspector Anderson stated staff recommends approval of Resolution 23 698, ordering the abatement of nuisance conditions existing at 2390 County Road 10, operated as 24 Premium Stop Fuel Station, in the City of Mounds View. 25 26 Khaldon Bteibet, representing Premium Stop at 2390 County Road 10, commented that this place 27 has been a nightmare for him. He explained that he came into this place hoping it would be his 28 dream business. He got into this business through Mr. Alsade who is the subleasee from Oasis 29 Market. Up until this point, neither Mr. Alsade nor Oasis Market has given him a lease to the 30 property. Mr. Bteibet stated he has requested a lease many times and has talked to Dan Price, the 31 Director of Oasis Market, to request repairs and the lease because there are people interested in 32 leasing it or buying his business. Mr. Bteibet stated he told Mr. Price that he has had it, lost a lot 33 of money, and cannot afford to do any of the improvements plus he does not have a lease to the 34 property so he would be making the improvements to property owned by Mr. Alsade or Oasis 35 Market. 36 37 Mr. Bteibet advised that the car wash is owned by another business, Noostar. Noostar decided 38 they would not let him use the car wash so he has also lost business on the car wash business. 39 Then the canopy became damaged so he called Oasis Market and told them it was a serious 40 matter. Mr. Price showed up and took down the canopy. Mr. Bteibet explained that Mr. Price 41 promised the canopy would be taken care of this week so that is what he told Mounds View. He 42 stated he has made many phone calls to Oasis Market. 43 44 Mr. Bteibet explained that Mr. Alsade is not in the country now so he called him and begged him 45
