City Council meeting of April 20, 1998 Page 3 Leroux made motion, Miron seconded, to table this matter until the meeting of May 4, 1998, to allow other Council members to inspect the site. All aye. Motion Carried. AUTOMOBILE RECYCLING LICENSE (SCHUMANN) Mr. David Schumann, dba D.J.'s Autobody, 7630 137th Street, requested an Automobile Dismantling License for the N1/2 of the NW 1/4 of Section 27, T31N, R21W. The property is zoned agriculture and conservancy, and is subject to a SUP issued on October 19, 1992. Inspections of the property were conducted by the City's Building Official on December 18, 1997, and March 4, 1998. Since the date of the last inspection, Mr. Schumann has provided the City copies of his Industrial Storm Water Discharge Permit from MPCA, as well as a Hazardous Waste Generator's License. This site is in violation of Hugo City Code, Chapter 130, and its SUP as follows: 1. There are approximately 19 piles of tires, plus individual loose tires, scattered about the site in violation of Chapter 130-8, Subd. G. 2. Junk vehicles and scattered automobile debris and other junk extend beyond the delineated area allowed for junk vehicle storage under Condition #2 of the site's SUP. 3. The parking area is totally visible from CR8A in violation of Section S of the site's SUP. 4. Mr. Schumann has expanded the business into an adjoining building addition in violation of Condition 5 of the site's SUP. Given these violations of the ordinance and the SUP, staff recommended that the application for an Automobile Dismantling License for 7630 137th Street be denied. Adjoining property owner, Robert Kieffer, addressed the Council stating that Mr. Schumann has not complied with any conditions of his SUP and Auto Dismantling License and that he should not be allowed to continue his business operation. Goiffon made motion to table this matter to allow time to revisit that part of the ordinance referencing renewal and inspection times. Motion failed for lack of second. Bruce Faulken, attorney for Mr. Kieffer, addressed the Council stating that the Council has been more than accommodating toward Mr. Schumann seeing that he has not complied with any conditions of his permits since 1992. Miron made motion, Barnes seconded, to table this matter until the meeting of May 4, 1998, to allow time for a reinspection of the property. All aye. Motion Carried.
