Mayor LeTourneau confirmed the consensus of the Council to move forward with the revisions <br />as proposed, with the one suggestion from Councilmember Riley. <br />2.02: Receive Update on Zoning Code Enforcement Cases <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reviewed the staff report. <br />Councilmember Menth referenced the comment related to intimidation and asked if the resident <br />was attempting to intimidate staff. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill provided additional details on the site visit. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that his concern is for the animals. He asked if the resident has <br />proper care for the animals or whether there would be a problem when the cold weather hits. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill noted that he is not an animal expert, noting that <br />there are a few trailers and other structures that could be used. He stated that staff would like to <br />see the structure for the animals but is simply missing the required information. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that this has been an ongoing case and he feels that City staff has <br />gone above and beyond in trying to help and resolve the problem in working with the resident. <br />He stated that it seems the resident is not interested in working with the City and was unsure how <br />much more effort the City staff should put into this. He fully supported transitioning this to the <br />City Attorney. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if there was a diagram at one time about what the building <br />would look like. She asked if it appears that the excavation is in line with the sketch. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill replied that if used as proposed, as a barn for <br />animals, and if the proper tax classification is obtained, the building code would not apply in the <br />same manner. He displayed the original plans and explained that staff attempted to reduce the <br />size to avoid the need for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). He noted that the intent of the <br />resident was to sink the building down in order to meet the height requirement. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked about the pole in the middle of the area. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill replied that is a utility pole and the resident would <br />need to work with the utility company to relocate that pole. <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that she would also support transitioning this to the City <br />Attorney. She asked for additional input on the process. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill provided additional details on the process. He noted <br />that a stop order has been issued but it does not appear that has occurred. <br />City Council Work Session / October 22, 2019 <br />Page 2 of 8 <br />
