Butler stated that the existing foundation is just blocks set on the ground. Butler stated that while the City recognizes the need to renew the building permit that was once issued, that if the City was to do that in this particular case that there could be a problem. City Attorney Malkerson stated that if the material presented by the audience has not been copied for Mr. Fisk and the staf f , then the applicant has the right to ask that the application be tabled. Malkerson stated that the state statute notes that all copies made available to the Councilmembers must be made available to the applicant, the public, and staff . Malkerson stated that unless the applicant wants to waive any rights to review this material and rebutt it, the Council should table this application until the applicant has had time to review. Malkerson also noted that in a recent court case that neighborhood opposition is irrelevant if it is just neighborhood opposition unless it is a health, safety, and welfare reason that would be relevant. Malkerson stated that in the past, when the City put up tax forfeit lots for sale, there was a standard resolution putting people on notice that they may not be buildable lots . Malkerson stated that at the next Council meeting this resolution should be copied for the Council .
