December 11, 2018 Page 9 of 10 Councilmember Allen asked how the Council wanted to address the parking lot striping for the remainder of the winter. Mr. Burrs commented he could erect six posts for the parking spots at the front of the building. Mayor Johnson commented the striping was a big concern for her. Councilmember Dunsworth stated she would like further information on when Mr. Burrs auto sales license was expiring and questioned if it was necessary for him to have this approved in New Brighton given the fact his retail sales would now occur in Maplewood. City Manager Lotter commented on the 60 day law and reported if the item were tabled the City would have another 60 days to consider the matter. Councilmember Allen asked what type of parking lot marking requirements should be put in place for Mr. Burrs. Community Assets and Development Director Schlichting suggested the stalls be delineated in an approved fashion by staff until the external conditions allow for proper paint striping. Mayor Johnson questioned how the Council should proceed with this matter. City Attorney Sonsalla recommended a condition be added to address active enforcement and the pavement markings. She advised the Council could add another condition stating: The applicant’s failure to adhere to these conditions of approval shall be grounds for revocation of the SUP by the City Council.
