A <br />copy of the request with reasons is attached. It has been explained to staff that the <br />restored building will be used for special events such as weddings. <br />Staff finds that the proposed use of the facility, which includes human occupancy and <br />human use of the building, does not meet the grounds for exemption by the council as <br />allowed for in Section 402.02, first paragraph. <br />Mr. Brausen has also inquired as to whether the code could be amended to accomplish his <br />request. At this time staff has no recommendation for amendment of this section of the <br />code. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Staff is seeking direction from the City Council as to whether it will consider action to <br />exempt the Old St. Joes Church building from the sewer connection requirement of <br />Section 402.02 of the City Code, or whether the Council wishes to consider amending <br />this section of the code to accomplish the request. <br />Attachments <br />1. Letter of Request from Theodore S. Brausen <br />2. Excerpt from City Code, Section 402.02 <br />
