Schultz thank you I would I wouldn't highlight on this and I did pull this simply to highlight this that this is coming forward on this is that looking at the assessments on our code enforcement charges the number of proactive which means our code enforcement actively goes out looking for violations versus complaints which is residents noticing that something is going on that's impacting their quality of life and contacting the city to help get a resolution that ratio is far out of far out of range and I do want to highlight that and I do think that this is something that City Council should start taking a closer look at and also that residents should start giving us feedback about and I would appreciate that okay thank you may I have a motion to adopt the resolution which authorizes the preparation of the assessment roles declares the cost to be a and calls for a hearing to be held on September 17 2019 second councilmember workman Matix the motion second by councilmember Keely all in favor please say aye aye opposed say nay and the motion carries thank you we are now at the regular agenda and the regular agenda we have one item this is an application for a five three three seven properties LLC for an interim use permit to allow vehicles to be parked on an unpaved surface rezoning from be for highway commercial to be for Planned Unit development and a concept stage PUD for the phase development of the park chrysler jeep properties located at 1 4 0 8 highway 13 west we're asked to approve the IUP rezoning the concept stage PUD and to adopt the findings of fact and the ordinance miss Faulkner you're presenting this evening I am thank you madam mayor Deb Garris could not be here this evening so I will just step in real quick and as you know I am like to be short and sweet so I will be short and sweet I have on the overhead the graphic before you the subject site this is Park Jeep I think we're all familiar with that down on highway 13 the reason this is on regular agenda is because there is because there was a dissenting vote from the Planning Commission one of the planning commissioners felt the request for the IEP to continue to allow gravel surface it's not consistent with what other car dealers have had to do in the past so for that reason they did not support this application other than that the rest of the Commission felt this was an appropriate way to I think solve a code enforcement issue with parking on gravel for the short term with a longer term plan for this to be developed as an office warehouse in the future and that's the concept stage that's before you so with that I will stand for any questions that you may have miss Faulker this property we have been working with the owner for a long time to correct the soils so that they can also build on the property so this is all part of that process am I correct in remembering how we have been on this journey with Park Jeeps that's correct madam mayor if we go way back yeah the part of the property the North abutting 126 Street I believe the city conveyed to Park Jeep 15 or so years you know and then yes they have an IUP to do soil Corrections in this area that sets the stage for the future office warehouse site okay councilmember Gustafson dude do they still I remember back in the 70s dating myself I used to come out here they used to do a lot of hill climbing back there because there were Jeep dealerships so there's a lot of four-wheeling that happened in the back and they still doing that I believe they do nice okay yeah it was always a lot of fun that's why I'm asking some incomes member Gustafson I've been on the taking the Jeep back out there it's really it's fun yeah okay are there any other questions for Miss Faulkner if not I need a motion please to improve the interview there's a motion and a second all in favor please say aye aye opposed say nay and emotion carries thank you very much and we the last item that we voted on and
