r � ^7 - - - Bernard Preussner' s complaint about his ,.neighbor' s parking in front of his home had been tabled for further research and the . Council accepted • the Manager' s recommendation that the Public Works Department should post signs on Skycroft Drive in advance of sweeping, rather than pass an ordinance which would address .only this specific problem. In his memorandum of April 30 , .1982 , .Mr. Childs had reported meeting with Mr. and Mrs . Joe Sroga, Jr. and discussing with them the visual appearance of their service station on Stinson Boulevard which has generated .so many complaints from both neighbors and other City residents . The Manager . said he believes all- the improvements promised by the station proprietors will be. made before September and, after reviewing minutes of past discussions- with Mr. Sroga regarding the. appearance of the station, .staff does not believe . a case can be made for refusing to renew the station license . Mr. Cavanaugh had remained .for this. discussion and told the Council several of his friends who live in that neighborhood have requested he tell the Council they perceive the .station to .be , "a disaster for the City" . Brad Bjorklund, a Planning .Commission member , who is also ' a neighbor, reported that, when he recently drove past the station , his car collected mud which had run off the Sroga property. onto the street during a rainstorm. There was agreement this situation would probably be alleviated. if Mr. Sroga keeps his .promise to blacktop and seed his front yard. Councilman Ranallo observed that, since it is the towing aspect of Mr. Sroga' s operation which causes the majority of the pro- blems , that license , and not the station license , should logically be considered for denial if the property appearance is not improved • by fall. The Mayor commented that he wonders if part of Mr. Sroga' s problems with drainage in the fenced-in area of the station have not been caused by Mr. Sroga himself when he constructed a swimming pool at his home behind the storage area. Motion by Councilman Letourneau and seconded by Councilman Marks to follow the City Manager' s recommendation to renew the station license for Sroga' s station at 3201 Stinson. Boulevard, and to review the improvements to the property appearance before the towing license expires in September, 1982. Motion- carried unanimously. . As the Council had directed, Mr. Childs reported the Hedlund Letter of Credit for $3, 200 had been withdrawn April 30th, .and staff will give the proprietor of Craig & Company a few more weeks to provide the required fencing and landscaping before making those improvements with the proceeds . The Council accepted as an agenda addendum the Central Engineering platting proposal. Mr. Soth had .indicated in his May 10th letter that he would have no problems with the planning as long as the satisfaction of the existing. mortgage is recorded prior to 'the filingof the plat. Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded by Councilman Ranallo to adopt • the resolution which approves the final platting of the Central Engineering property, 2930 Anthony Lane N.E. , as St. Anthony Industrial Park Second Addition.
