ITEMS FROM STAFF ,I I COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & ADMINISTRATION Chief Building Inspector Wittwer stated yes and that there had been some remod- eling of the building due to a fire four years ago with an on-going effort by the City to work with the owner; that the building permit had expired for the remo- deling; that there had been an applica- tion to build a new garage in the backyard which needed a variance which had been refused; that because of complaints on the condition of the front yard he felt that was the priority item to be dealt with; that the property owner intended to sink the bath tubs in the ground for a fountain.
