Subject To Conditions Noted Herein For The Period Of January l , 1981 To December 31, 1981. Motion, Ayes (3 ) - Nays (0) . Bruce Malkerson, City Attorney, informed the City KELLER' S MARKET Council that Desyl Peterson, Attorney from Bruce ' s 3800 Wayzata Boulevard office, had received a call at 5 :30 P.M. today from Lou Oberhauser, Orton Wisegarver 's attorney, who stated that all corrections were completed that could be completed that did not require an electrician, but that an electrician would correct electrical problems within the next two to three days. Bruce ' s recommendation was, that if corrections were not started by Friday of this week, or if corrections were not completed, to close down the market on Tuesday, March 31, 1981, due to the fire and life safety violaticns. No one was present at the meeting to represent Orton Wisegarver or Keller 's Market. Staff had sent notices of the agenda to Wisegarver and to his attorney. Mayor Van Nest stated that he would rather extend the period for corrections to the problems than to close him down, but to give them a more reasonable amount of time to make the necessary corrections. Let ' s try to get the work done. Alan Olson, City Planner, stated that no one has contacted the City regarding permits or for any inspections but another cooler had been installed since December, 1980 without permits. Since the letter was written, no one had contacted the City regarding the permits or for inspections. He stated that the manager has attempted to make some corrections, clearing the aisles and removing combustibles, but that no work had started on installation of the required second exit. Councilmember Paurus stated that there were too many violations for too long a period of time, too much public money spent because of one person doing as he wants to, inspite of what the regulations or laws are, and is still doing it. Mr. Wisegarver apparently does not feel he has to come for permits or inspections; he ' s home free . The City should have done something a year and a half ago. Mayor Van Nest moved, Butler seconded, to give Keller ' s Market until Friday, March 28 , 1981, to have the problems corrected, or to be ascertained by the staff that necessary steps are being taken to have them corrected within the next seven-day period, if not, we should go for an injunction to close them down if the work is not completed by the following Friday, April 3 , 1981 . Motion, Ayes (2 ) - Nays (1) . Councilmember Paurus Nay.
