Mr. Henke responded to the City Attorney's report by stating that in 1982 he did purchase the property at which time he went to the City inspector and was given a list of corrections to be made. The original list of improvements to be made did not include the foundation. Mr. Henke stated that the concrete blocks under the structure were put there in 1935 and have not settled, and that there is no erosion taking place under the building. The house is enclosed by plastic on the bottom now. He noted that he sees no benefit to the City to make the structure more permanent than it currently is.. Finally, Mr. Henke stated that the fact that the house has existed since 1935, exempts its condition from the UBC reugirements.
