ITEM 5.8. ity of MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: Mayor and City Council Kendra Lindahl, Zoning Assistan July 15, 1996 SUBJECT: Code Administration Update This is just an update on the various code complaints city staff has received. Attached is a copy of the complaint case spreadsheet. The shaded cases have either been resolved or were not in violation of any ordinance. The City has 7 unresolved cases from 1995, and we have received 36 new complaint cases in 1996. 1995 Complaint Cases Of the 7 remaining cases from 1995, only three of them are expected to be resolved in the near future: 1. Case #95-17 may be resolved due to the fact that the former occupant has moved. 2. Case #95-59 will be resolved when the second phase of Mississippi Oaks is completed. 3. Case #95-67 should be in compliance by the end of the month when the required trees are expected to be planted. Case 95-31 The other four cases are unlikely to be resolved in the near future. One case that causes staff particular concern is Case #95-31. This is an issue where a site plan for outdoor storage was approved in July 1995. However, the applicant never complied with the approved site plan and has essentially been operating a junk yard on this site. Staff has been in regular contact with the property owner. Staff has been working with property owner to achieve compliance with the ordinance regulating outdoor storage. The property owner has done a tremendous amount of grading on the site without a permit. This has caused run-off problems for the adjoining property owner and the wetland on this site.
