Mayor LeTourneau agreed that this has been a consistent trend throughout this process. Councilmember Shryock stated that this was a fair discussion and the Council was in favor of working with the resident and he instead became belligerent and walked out. She did not foresee that this process would move smoothly going forward. Councilmember Heinrich stated that the concern of Mr. Sykes was getting a structure for his animals that would be heated during the winter. She stated that her request would be to present the option to the Planning Commission to hold a special meeting. She stated that a lot of time and energy has been put into this topic and agreed that she felt that this had been an amiable discussion. Mayor LeTourneau stated that Mr. Sykes made the comment that the animals were not a level of his concern at this time, which leads him to believe that the animals have been moved to another location as the resident had mentioned in previous conversations that he did have additional locations. Councilmember Kuzma stated that until the required documents and application are received, he would direct staff not to move forward further on this request. Mayor LeTourneau stated that he would also support the City staying inside of all the compliances of the zoning code and ordinances moving forward and would need to react appropriately to whatever the choices of the property owner are. City Administrator Ulrich stated that if the applicant submits the necessary documents and application for the Conditional Use Permit, he has heard support for this moving forward. He stated that if the homeowner continues to move forward on the building without the proper permits, there would be an action the City could take that would prevent further construction until the issue is resolved. He stated that the City is in the position that it needs to enforce the code. Councilmember Kuzma stated that if the agricultural determination is made by the County, that would alleviate some of the pressure from the City, but that necessary documentation has not been provided to the County. Community Development Director Gladhill stated that there is a high risk that the property owner will continue to move forward whether the proper approvals are obtained based on prior history. He stated that the building materials have been purchased, the site has been graded and the footings for the foundation have been poured. 2.03: Continued Discussion on Administration and Enforcement of City Code Violations Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report.
