Re: Outside Storage &Vehicle Parking
Dear Mr. Behrens:
As I noted in my June 3, 2008 letter to you, no outside storage is permitted at Fred's Tire
without first having received an approved conditional use permit for outside storage as per
City Ordinance 401.30.E.5. Presently, the City has on file a Conditional Use Permit for the
placement of a 24' x 20'garage to the northeast corner of the property for tire storage.
Additionally, vehicle parking at the site is to be for employee and customer parking only. At
no time shall any (operable) vehicle be parked for a continuous period of time longer than 24
hours in any privately owned parking lot or area, except that for good cause shown as per City
Ordinance 1116.02.B. All vehicles or similar equipment situated within the exterior parking
areas, legally required to be licensed, must display current licensure tabs.
Per City Ordinances 1301.01 and 1301.5 vehicles being serviced or considered non-operable,
partially dismantled or junked and/or being used for parts may not remain on the site for
more than 72 hours unless they are within an enclosed building.
As of today, Fred's tire is in violation of one or more of the above-referenced ordinances and
is requested to:
1. Remove the vehicle parked at the northwest corner of the business site, and any
other outside stored vehicles or equipment; and

2. Remove any other outside storage items and/or containers not currently
permitted by conditional use Permit, or apply for an amended conditional use
permit for the same. This applies to tire storage areas, parts storage areas, sheds
and similar. A development application has bee enclosed for your use.
Compliance to this request shall be met no later than February 10, 2009.
If you have questions regarding this request, please contact me immediately.
