I hope that, through Mr. MacKinnon, we will make progress this year <br /> in resolving these City concerns. <br /> The Building Inspections Department advises me they have placed a Stop Work Order on your <br /> entrance sign replacement, which requires a permit. The City Council on March 8 directed me <br /> to advise you that should you apply for a permit for sign replacement, a permit cannot be issued <br /> until you are licensed. They also suggested that, out of fairness, you be advised to carefully <br /> consider any significant expenditures or improvements of the property in light of the possibility <br /> of DNR acquisition of your property. The same could be said for any expenditures on plantings <br /> or buffer zone improvements. <br /> I'm sure this all sounds like a huge Catch-22, i.e. we won't give you a sign permit since you <br /> don't have a license and we won't give you a license because you haven't complied with buffer <br /> zone and landscaping regulations, yet we're telling you to perhaps hold off on those <br /> improvements until the ultimate fate of the property is known. However, as will be noted in the <br /> cover letter attached to the 1993 license application forms, the City Council intends to issue <br /> licenses to all marinas who apply, and deal with the land use issues through the Zoning Code. <br /> Therefore, if you make application for a license, the City Council intends to issue you a license, <br /> and we would be in a position to issue a sign replacement permit if the sign meets all code <br /> requirements. <br /> TELEPHONE-473-7357�FAX-473-0510 <br />
