Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for October 17, 2011 Page 5 of 8 Community Development Director Bryan Bear provided the Council with a letter from Rick Burr stating there will be a sandblasting booth installed within the next 14 months. This booth would be located outside and behind the current building. Bryan indicated staff would be more comfortable with a shorter time line and to have the booth inside the building. Rick Burr explained that he only sandblasts between 8 a.m. — 3:30 during the first shift. Sandblasting was being done more often but he closed four accounts due to the problems with the City. The booth structure would allow sandblasting to be done inside, and with the doors closed there would be no noise or dust. The reason for the 14 month period was because he wanted the time to find a reasonably priced used booth. The Council suggested working with Clarice Olson from DEED on possible grants. Also discusses was the location of the booth. If it was to be located outside the building, the CUP should be amended to refer to a revised site plan depending on whether this was a permanent or temporary solution. Weidt made motion, Klein seconded, to allow Gusset one year to resolve the issue, and provide a report on the progress in six months. Progress would include a review if the site plan, identification of structure statistics, update on grant applications, and provide something in writing regarding interim sandblasting rules. If Gusset Design fails to be in compliance and have a structure in place within one year, the City will use all means necessary to bring the CUP into compliance. All Ayes. Motion carried. Approve Assessment Agreement with Central Bank for Demolition of Ricci's Restaurant At its August 1, 2011 meeting, the Council discussed the Ricci's Restaurant property at 14777 Forest Boulevard North, which was under the ownership of The River Bank, who had agreed to a demolition of the building in a manner that is similar to last year's demolition of the End Zone bar and antique store buildings. Council authorized staff to perform the necessary steps to finalize the assessment agreement and proceed with building demolition. Central Bank recently acquired the assets of the River Bank in Wyoming, which was the owner of the Ricci's restaurant property. City staff was initially requesting the Council approve an assessment agreement with Central Bank for the demolition of Ricci's Restaurant building; however, Community Development Director Bryan Bear informed Council that Central Bank just recently indicated they intend to pay for the demolition themselves, and the assessment agreement between the City and the bank was unnecessary. Central Bank also will be reimbursing the City for the cost of the Environmental Assessment Agreement that has already been performed. Bear said Central Bank has indicated the demolition would be done in a timely manner. Haas made motion, Weidt seconded, to table discussion on the demolition of Ricci's until the next meeting of the Council on November 7, 2011, where the Council will consider declaring the building a hazard if there has been no progress. All Ayes. Motion carried.
