DeWalVs Towing 60-Day Compliance Review Excerpt from 8-22-06 Wrecker Committee Meeting Minutes 5.B. STAFF COMMENTS Chief Building Official, Debbie Wilmore, addressed the Committee. Four wrecker permits for DeWalt's Towing, LLC were suspended at a previous Committee meeting. Staff has been monitoring the progress at the site for compliance. Mr. DeWalt contacted the City on 8-21-06 to arrange for a site visit the same afternoon at his storage yard located at 400 E. Main. Photographs were taken and Ms. Wilmore presented a slide show of current conditions at the site. Ms. Wilmore summarized the status of site conditions: • Sign in street r-o-w of East Main has been removed. • Mowing and weed eating was initially performed, but will need to continue as growth occurs. • Debris continues to be an issue. • The single layer of material placed on the fence is insufficient for meeting screening requirements. • Visibility of junk vehicles is still a problem when the business gates are open. • Shipping containers still remain in the yard. • Large trucks are no longer parked in r-o-w. 6. CONSIDER POSSIBLE ACTION TO CANCEL, REVOKE, OR CONTINUE SUSPENSION OF WRECKER PERMIT NUMBERS 481, 482, 483, AND 484 (ISSUED AS PERMIT NUMBERS 475, 476, 477 AND 478 IN 2005), ISSUED TO DEWALTS'S TOWING, LLC. Motion by Asst. Chief Corrales to reinstate permit numbers 481, 482, 483, and 484 for a period of 60 days, at which time the matter will be revisited for possible further action and during such time the gates will remain closed during operation when vehicles are not entering or exiting the business. Second by Martha Gillett. The motion carried unanimously.
