City Council meeting of March 2, 1998 Page 4 Regulations for Individual Sewage Treatment Systems. In addition, the ordinance implements a Metro Council mandate requiring that all individual sewage treatment systems within the City be inspected at least once every three years. The public hearing was called to order, with no oral or written comments on the matter. Leroux made motion, Barnes seconded, to adopt ORDINANCE 1998-318, AN ORDINANCE REPEALING THE EXISTING CHAPTER 263 IN ITS ENTIRETY AND ADOPTING A REVISED INDIVIDUAL SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM ORDINANCE. VOTING AYE: Arcand, Barnes, Goiffon, Leroux, Miron Motion Carried. AUTOMOBILE RECYCLING LICENSE (ARK) On October 20, 1997, the Hugo City Council denied an auto recycling license to ARK, d.b.a. 16813 Forest Blvd., for various violations of Hugo City Code, Chapter 130. Subsequently, the City sued ARK to bring them into compliance with the City ordinance. The District Court issued an order directing ARK to bring the property into compliance no later than February 15, 1998. If ARK does not comply with the Court Order, they will be enjoined from operating the junkyard or auto dismantling business on the site until a proper license had been granted in accordance with City ordinance. Following the Court Order, the City's Administrator and Attorney agreed to recommend allowing ARK to post a bond to insure removal of the tires by November, 1998, if all other conditions of the site's SUP and Chapter 130 were complied with. An inspection of the site was conducted on February 25, 1998 by the City's Building Official to determine compliance with the SUP and ordinance, with the following violations being observed: 1. There are 20 mobile homes located on the site. 2. The east half of the fence along the north property line is in a state of disrepair. 3. The site has been expanded to include the old Northside Auto site. 4. The fire lanes on the "north site" site are not in conformance with Chapter 130. Dan Stewart and his attorney, Scott Martin, stated that they are making progress in cleaning the site, and questioned just where they were not in compliance with City code. Staff believes that ARK has not complied with the District Court Order, or a subsequent verbal agreement with the City for bringing the site into compliance. Miron made motion, Barnes seconded, directing the City Attorney to file an Affidavit with District Court attesting to the fact that ARK is not in compliance with the Court Order, and bar ARK from operating a junkyard or auto dismantling business on the site until a proper license has been granted.
