We have had to advise them that we have had <br />absolutely no response from you since last January. We have not <br />received any zoning application or other information from you.- - —- ^ ^ w w W • -..I* » ^ w A A. t 9 J Wft • <br />Until the proper City conditional use permit should be issued, the <br />City will continue to oppose any abatement or tax-exempt status <br />for the property. <br />In November and December of 1982, we had several discussions with <br />you regarding zoning requirements for use of this property. You <br />obtained application forms to apply for the required conditional <br />use permit, but you have never filed that application with the City. <br />Church use of property without a conditional use permit is a zoning <br />code violation. <br />A building permit was issued to your contractor in April, 1983 to <br />construct some long-needed exterior exit stairs on the church building, <br />but no one has yet contacted the City Building Official to conduct <br />the required interior inspection. Consequently, there still has never <br />been an occupancy certificate issued for the building. <br />The above matters cannot continue indefinitely. Please contact me <br />within the next 30 days to file the zoning application and to arrange <br />for the building code inspection. Let's work together to have this <br />resolved in the very near future. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ian P. Olson <br />City Planner <br />cc:Dorothy A. McClung, Director of Legal Research <br />Bruce D.
