In 2018, the City pursued enforcement action for using the property for an unpermitted <br />use (warehouse). The District Court dismissed the case because the City improperly <br />charged the property representative, Hythem Soussi, rather than the property manager, <br />Naoufel Soussi. In recent years, the City's primary contact for C&N Group was Hythem <br />Soussi. It is the City's understanding that Naoufel Soussi does not reside in the U.S. <br />The District Court could order C&N Group to cease its use of the property as a <br />warehouse, and order compliance with City Codes. <br />Fire Code Violations <br />The SBM Fire Chief and Fire Marshal have issued corrective orders related to the <br />improper storage of tires. The current property representative, Sami Soussi, has been <br />cooperative, and is taking action to correct these violations, including the removal of <br />stored waste tires from inside the building, semi -trailers, and inoperable vehicles. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />Continue enforcement & responsiveness to drug problem, traffic, code violations, & <br />petty crimes & support 2nd K-9 unit. <br />Financial Impact: <br />The City's legal fees will continue (criminal and civil prosecution). <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff is requesting direction from the City Council, if to pursue revocation of the CUP for <br />"Tire and Minor Auto Repair Store". If yes, it will be scheduled for a Public Hearing. <br />If the CUP is revoked, auto repair cannot occur on the property. The property can be <br />used for retail (primary use) with warehousing (secondary use). <br />Staff does not have a recommendation whether or not revocation of the CUP should be <br />pursued. Whether revoked or not, Staff will continue to pursue code enforcement <br />action. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />�eQx <br />Jon Sevald, AICP <br />Community Development Director <br />ATTACHMENT <br />Site Photos <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
