City Council meeting of May 2, 1988 Page 2 Counciimember Peltier arrived at 7:06 PM:'• MODERN AUTO PARTS (LICENSE RENEWAL) At the April 18, 1988 regular meeting of the Hugo City Council, action was- taken a=taken calling for a public hearing requesting that Mr. Roger Dupaul and Mr. Horton appear before the Council to show why the city should not refuse renewal of their auto dismantling licenses and special use permit. The required licenses and permit were approved for the individuals in question in 1986 subject to meeting certain requirements. Mr. Dupaul and Mr. Horton have failed to meet these requirements, and did not receive renewal of their license in the fall of 1987. As a matter of fact, Mr. Dupaul did not appear before the Council to get his license renewal until just prior to the first of the year. The Council's approval at that time was for a temporary license to expire on April 1, 1988 subject to special conditions outlined therein and the request of the city sent in a letter to Mr. Dupaul. On April 4th of this year, Mr. Dupaul appeared at City Hall and stated he still did not comply with the special conditions and requests of the city, and wanted to know when the City Council was going to consider renewal of his license. Mr. Dupaul has not complied with any of the Council's requests and special conditions, and continues to operate on an expired permit. Mr. Dupaul has had a record of problems with the Washington County Health Department with regard to his operation, and has openly admitted that he has buried tires, auto parts, and other materials at various locations on his site. Mayor Atkinson and other members of the Council have requested that the city attorney outline the necessary procedure to terminate the Modern Auto Parts auto dismantling activities taking place on the property identified herein. Notices of the hearing were sent to Mr. Dupaul and Mr. Horton's representative, Jim Flannery. Mr. Flannery and Mr. Dupaul were present at the Council meeting to discuss non-compliance with the special use permit as granted by the City Council on 12/7/87. Mr. Flannery stated that he could prove that Mr. Dupaul is now in compliance with all conditions setforth in the permit and proceeded to go through each item of the special use permit as issued in 1986. Hugo's Fire Chief and Washington County Public Health Department have made on-site inspections of the dismantling yard, and have found Mr. Dupaul to be in compliance with their regulations. Mr. Flannery admitted that Mr. Dupaul has failed to meet city regulations in the past, but that he is now in compliance, and will provide a legal description and the financial security. Atkinson made motion, Peltier seconded, to renew the Auto Dismantling License for Roger Dupaul dba Modern Auto Parts, 1681,E Forest boulevard, until May 16, 1989, provided that Mr. Dupaul post a letter of credit in the amount of $1500.00 to insure compliance with the conditions of this permit, and submit a legal description of his business site within 14 days of this date (5/2/88), and subject to the following conditions: 1. All existing fences surrounding the premises shall be maintained in a condition satisfactory to the city at all times. 2, The driveway shall be maintained clear at all times so that customers are not prevented from reaching the parking area, and no auto dis- mantling may be conducted within fifty (50) feet of the parking area.
