issuance of a building permit for the garage and second floor additions..." Essentially, he would have six months to take care of the first floor space and porch before he could apply for the second floor and garage. Condition 8 could be worded to say "... construction has been completed, i.e. final occupancy". Conditions 11 and 12 would make reference to the applicable fees and penalties for any work done without a building permit. That would better define what he must do or else approval would lapse. Ms. Ayala asked if there could be a condition that he has to hire contractor who will bring plans in by a date certain. Mr. Roush said he could be required to provide evidence of a contract with a licensed contractor to do the work. As a practical matter, however, he could terminate that contract after he presented it to get the building permit. Ms. Hosterman wanted to get a date certain to hurry this project along. The weather is getting better and there are no excuses if there is a contractor. She felt the contractor would be motivated to get the job done. She did not want to baby sit this project. Ms. Ayala said it is not easy to get through a situation like this. That is why she wanted evidence he has hired a contractor, to make changes in the conditions, and to make certain everything in the December 7, 2001 is included in the conditions. She asked what the first step is to make Mr. Duggan start working on these improvements? Mr. Swift said first plans will have to be prepared and checked. That takes about five to eight weeks. After that, he could get a building permit. There are some things he can do that do not require a permit, such as the fences, filling holes, etc. Mr. Brozosky said there is a box to check when getting a building permit that states whether the work is owner built or there is a licensed contractor. The only way to make sure the contractor stays with the project is to require him or his representative to be present whenever a building permit is pulled. He was not certain that was enforceable. Ms. Ayala asked if there could be a specific staffmember assigned to this project. She asked Mr. Roush if he was ready to amend all the conditions to make certain they are tied to a date certain and do whatever possible to move this project forward. Mr. Roush said Condition 2 should also require him to show evidence of a licensed contractor. Items 3 and 4 could say he had to do the work within thirty days or else the approval would lapse. Item 6 would be amended to say he has six months to get building permits and complete the work to get final occupancy for the first living space and porch before he could move on the garage and second floor additions. He can have all that checked at one time, but could not get a building permit unless the first portion is completed within six months or the approval will lapse. Condition 8 would be amended to say the work on the first floor had to be completed, similar to what was stated in Condition 6. Mr. Brozosky asked if Condition 7 still applied?
