. STATUS REPORT ON TAILWIND TRAILERS HISTORY OF SITE September - 1989: The City of Elk River denied a conditional use permit for Trailer King, which was changed to Tailwind Trailers (CD 89-23), based on an inadequate site plan for review. The request involved a conditional use permit for trailer sales. January - 1992: Tailwind Trailers was contacted by the City for remodeling existing structures without a building permit. A list of ten (10) violations were given to the applicant and a "stop work" order was issued. To my knowledge, the ten issues have never been corrected. See attached letter for a list of conditions. A component of the building code issue was to apply for a conditional use permit for the expansion of the trailer sales lot. . October - 1992: Tailwind Trailers received approval of a conditional use permit (CD 92-19) to allow the expansion of the existing trailers sales lot with thirteen (13) conditions. The applicant was given two (2) years to conform with the conditional use permit and all conditions should be met by October 1994. Attached is a list of conditions approved with the conditional use permit. I have highlighted the conditions still outstanding. Spring - 1994: Ron Atkins, owner of Tailwind Trailers, contacted the City concerning the lot formerly owned and occupied by Car Heaven. Mr. Atkins inquired about the process needed to expand to this vacant parcel. The City informed Mr. Atkins that an expansion to the Car Heaven site would require a conditional use permit. Approximately one month after this conversation, Mr. Atkins violated City requirements and began displaying and repairing trailers from the Car Heaven site. Numerous letters have been sent to Mr. Atkins requesting that Tailwind Trailers apply for a conditional use permit for the expansion. These requests have been disregarded by Tailwind Trailers. .
