AUTO DISMANTLING LICENSE FOR ARK (DAN STEWARTI At its June 3, 2002 meeting, the Council tabled the application for renewal of the Auto Dismantling License from Dan Stewart operating as Automotive Recycling Kompany (ARK), and directed staff to. address issues related to his license that had to be completed last year. A compliance inspection was conducted by City staff on March 28, 2002, a subsequent inspection by the Fire Marshal on June 10, 2002, and a final inspection by City staff on July 15, 2002. There were a number of issues that needed to be brought into compliance before City staff could recommend approval of the Auto Dismantling License. CD Director John Rask and Code Enforcement Officer John Benson inspected the site this day, and John Rask reported that all items are now in compliance and recommended that the license be issued. Trees have been planted along the north property line on the east side of the property, but are questionable as a screening devise as the trees are quite sparse. Mr. Steward agreed to construct a fence next year in the event the trees do not survive. Haas made motion, Puleo seconded, to renew the Auto Dismantling License for ARK subject to the applicant agreeing that at the expiration of this permit to fence the 300' of the north property line should the Council deem it necessary for screening. All aye. Motion Carried. PELOOUIN INDUSTRIAL PARK IMPROVEMENT PROJECT UPDATE Over the past several months, staff has been working with Richard Knutson, Inc., contractor for the Peloquin Industrial Park public improvement project, to complete the project as specified in the contract. The company has returned on site this spring and graded around the concrete curbs, installed black dirt topsoil, and will install sod and seed very soon. The only additional work in the park itself would be the bituminous wear course, which is scheduled for this fall. A significant amount of the remaining work is the installation of the sanitary sewer line north from the project, which must be installed at an extra depth of 30' to 35'.
