Mr. Simon had applied for an Emergency Temporary Structure Permit to allow his family to live in a mobile home on the premises while the dwelling is being reconstructed. Observations: The Emergency-Temporary Structure Pcmait is issued for 90 day increments. The fu'st 90 days is issued by the Building Official; a 90 day extension is subject to the approval of the City AdminisRator, and each additional 90 day extension is subject to the approval of the City Council. In this case, the structure was a log home and reconstruction could take more than 2 years. - The Applicants have requested that beyond the first two 90 day increments, the City Council extengions be increased to 180 days each given the extended time frame for replacement of the log home. The 180 day time frames would be less cumbersome for City Staff and the Applicant, given the reconstruction period in this case, without relinquishing the Council's authority to review the project periodically for reasonable progress. Generally, insurance companies want to bring closure to the claim as soon as possible and will be striving for a timely reconstruction :project. Recommendation: City Staff reco~n~ approval of the request to increase the time frame on the City Council extensions to the Leonard Simon Emergency Temporary Structure Permit. Council Action: Motion to: Direct the Zoning Administrator to amend the Emergency Temporary Structure Permit issued to Mr. Leonard Simon to provide for 180 day extensions from City Council.
