Don Tauer appeared with his attorney, Kenneth Rohledger, as requested,
regarding his alleged violation of One'Ka Ordinance 1 and the City
.Building Code Y 108. According to the city building inspector, 11r. Tauer
had built an apartment for rental use in his basement , against the
ordinance pertaining to zoning for private residential homes, and had
failed to obtain a building permit for any remolding or alteration. T7
Rohleder stated that when 17r. Tauer set forth plans to obtain a. building
permit for his home, there were facilities in the plan for a . second
residenced in the basement. !,*jr. Rohleder felt the Ordinance ,*1- 1 was very
vague, in that there was no m- ention of single family residence. Don
- C> C,
Lease stated that the old township always went on the assumption that
this particular area was single family residential and interpreted the
ordinance in that way. `Tayor Crever mention that Tauer being, a contractor,
should have knoirn to fret a building permit, and then would have been
told about the private residential zoning. T%r!r. Rohleder stated there has
been no rer..iodlikn,,- or alteration since the initial buildinr, permit was
obtained for the house. City attorney Johnson said a rental. unit does
not constitute a private residence . It was mentioned that the building
C_>
inspector asked to be let in the rental unit to inspect, and Tauer
told him it was sor.-ieores horse, and he could not violate that privacy.
