Mounds View City Council May 13, 2019 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br /> <br />956, Amending the Zoning Map for 8482, 8484, and 8486 Long Lake Road. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />C. PUBLIC HEARING: Resolution 9108, Revocation of a Conditional Use <br />Permit for C & N Group LLC (dba Tires N’More), 2832 Mounds View <br />Boulevard. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald requested the Council consider revoking a Conditional <br />Use Permit for C & N Group, doing business as Tires N’More at 2832 Mounds View Boulevard. <br />He explained Tires N’More received a CUP in 2012 for a tire and minor auto repair store. He <br />reported the property was zoned B-3 and would allow for retail sales with accessory warehousing <br />storage. He stated the site has been used for warehousing and not for retail sales. He commented <br />on the number of zoning code violations that have occurred at this property in recent years. He <br />noted this property was family owned and the current owner was Sammy Sussi. He explained <br />Mr. Sussi has been cooperating with the City and was working to clean up the property. He stated <br />the business was open and tire sales were occurring. He reported the Planning Commission was <br />recommending the Council revoke the CUP which would eliminate minor auto repair, but noted <br />the retail tire sales business would remain. He stated staff was recommending the Council <br />support this recommendation and that the business owner voluntarily supports the CUP <br />revocation. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller opened the public hearing at 7:19 p.m. <br /> <br />Hearing no public input, Mayor Mueller closed the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause asked if staff was recommending Option 1 or Option 2 within the <br />staff report. Community Development Director Sevald stated staff was recommending Option 1, <br />if considered practical. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller commented on the correspondence City staff has had with the property owner <br />since 2017. She indicated on March 30, 2018 a letter or email of intent from Mr. Sussi was sent <br />to the City outlining four steps that would bring the property into compliance. She noted Mr. <br />Sussi did not follow through on these four steps. She explained with this business, because the <br />business owner lived outside the country and given its history with the City, she recommended <br />Option 2 be followed. <br /> <br />Council Member Bergeron read a letter received from the property owner noting they would not <br />be servicing tires but would be selling auto accessories and tires. He commented on the <br />difference between inventory and warehousing. He noted the property owners have been <br />warehousing tires because no sales or transactions have been occurring. <br /> <br />City Administrator Zikmund commented it was Mr. Sussi’s plan to be in attendance this evening. <br />Community Development Director Sevald indicated he had left a message with Mr. Sussi to <br />remind him of the meeting.
