Hi,

I had a positive conversation with Mike Rogers just now by phone from Scandia USA, Midwest (also called ICL America Limited).

I emphasized the urgency with getting the use and permitting issues resolved. Technically, the business shouldn’t be operating or even moving inventory until much later in the process.

He understands the situation he is in, but did say they don’t have a “Plan B” storage place for their inventory. I listened but didn’t commit to allowing anything one way or another. I emphasized the importance of not having employees out on the site until the use is legal. The struggle now is that the existing company PBIS (Pacific Belt Industrial Supply) is in the building operating. That company was issued a business license in mid-2018 and then given a renewal recently – on October 30, 2019 (this happened before we had identified all of these issues). Scandia USA has purchased PBIS. So both companies are now under one umbrella.

In the meantime, he will get us a written description of the use soon – so we can make a determination about whether the use conforms with our code.

Let me know if you have questions.

Alice

Michael and Bill:

It was nice meeting you at Wednesday’s meeting. I am following up now to outline some next steps. We are pleased you are interested in locating your business in Molalla. As we discussed yesterday, this site contains several areas of nonconformity, many of which were never legally established by the City of Molalla. For this reason, I send this email with a sense of urgency, especially given that the City continues to see employees moving inventory into side of the warehouse your business proposes to occupy. Prior to continuing further movement of inventory or any operations on the site:

1. 1. The City needs to make a final determination as to whether your proposed use is permitted in the M-2 (Heavy Industrial) zone. As I discussed yesterday, your proposed operations do not appear to immediately match the uses outlined in our code. My understanding of your business is that it contains two parts. One is the warehousing and distribution of inventory. The second part of your business involves some fabrication or manufacturing to customize the conveyor belt materials and inventory to meet the needs of your clients. It is the second part of the business where I am uncertain as to where the use fits into our development code, I will need to better understand your proposed operations to make a determination as to how the use fits into Molalla’s development code and the M-2 zone.

2. 2. Permits will be needed from the City and Clackamas County in order to legally establish your business. Your company will need to go through a pre-application process with our staff. This is a more formal process than what we initially discussed yesterday. City staff can learn more about your proposal and outline the steps your company will need to take to legally establish your business to operate within the City of Molalla.

We look forward to hearing from you soon. In the meantime, please cease business operations on the site until your company can get through these steps. I am happy to talk by phone or in person again, if you have further questions.

Sincerely,

Alice Cannon
