June 7, 2002 <br /> <br />Mayor and Council <br />City of Elk River <br /> <br />Morrell trucking moved a few years agO and as a result lost <br />the "grandfather status" at Jackson avenue. The City Ord. <br />Section 900.34 requires that all nonconforming use be removed <br />(I.E. terminal/warehouse). This was never done and Morrell <br />has now back operating at this location. <br /> <br />The north 168 X 400 foot parcel is now been used as workers <br />parking lot and material storage for the school contractor. <br />This property has never had a permitted principal use estabish- <br />ed and I know a commercial parking lot is not one of them. As <br />school is now out the City should immediately require this lot <br />to be vacated and the access drive removed. The school has a <br />whole empty student parking lot to accomodate the contractor. <br /> <br />Please be advised this complaint is about a problem created by <br />the City's lack of ordinance enforcement. Where else has the <br />City allowed a 168 X 400 unpaved parking lot adjacent within <br />25' of a residential building? The dust is the consistancy of <br />talcum powder. I dare say if a City staff or elected official <br />lived here the problem would have been resolved 15 years agog! <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />DO NOT TURN THIS OVER TO ZONING AS THEY WONT ACTfIl! <br /> <br /> <br />
