I am receipt of a letter from you to <br />Mr. Johnson dated December 21, 1987 in which you indicated the <br />city would not extend Mr. Johnson's building permit. I am also in <br />on dated <br />receipt <br />states that constructionMon 8100r. sAugust <br />27, l <br />Gr velandRadwoildbe7 <br />which <br />deferred until the spring of 1988 and that the license will be <br />renewed. III your letter you state that "the City is interested <br />in keeping this parcel vacant in the event that Sherwood Road <br />will be extended'. It is my understanding that this particu:.ar <br />parcel of land 13 a "buildable lot" and *that `Mr. John son has also <br />complied with all requl LtlniCIII.m Oct uj ---1 ises. <br />- ' <br />construction of a single family dwelling on the subject prem <br />Based upon the above referenced information, i fail to see how <br />the City can deny extension of the building permit to Mr. <br />Johnson. The lot is a buildable lot and Mr. Johnson has met all <br />the applicable requirements fc: construction on the subjeut <br />premises. Failure to issue n building permit for property which <br />is considered buildable when the applicant has met all <br />requirements set out by the City, on the basis that the City will <br />sometime in the future extend a road throu3h the property, <br />constitutes a , king of the property by the City. If the City <br />refuses to grant a building permit because the subject property <br />may be taken for a future road, then the City should take action <br />to acquire the property by means available to them. It is my <br />opinion that your basis for denying the building permit is <br />unacceptable. I am sending a copy of this letter to Richard <br />Meyers, your City Attorney. I would ask that you reconsider your <br />
