If you readthe expired permit to which you rcfcr (B0306-001) you should havc noticed thc pem�ii o:as issucd io build a shcd domier. If you insprcicd my property and looked at my roof, you should havc also noticed therc is no shcd dormcr and thereforc concluded thc project�v�s never completed and hence therc is no structwe to finally inspcct. No work has been done sincc thc last inspection,due to a lack of resowces. We will not renew the permit until such time as we decide to go ahcad with building the dormer. If the city concludes tliat we are required by law to rencw the permit and complete the project so the city can do a final inspection, then I suggest the city comc up�vilh the moncy to pay for it, as we don't have it. My husband spoke to the Duilding Division and they could not provide any reason as to why you ��ould take this action. In my opinion, it scems more rcasonable ro lea��c qucstions regarding building permits to peoplc�vho have a better understanding of wnstruction, like the pcople who work in the Building Division. Also, I ��711 not cut or removc any ovcrgro�tim vegetation because Qierc is nonc to cut or remoec. If you �vish to annihilate every plant in escess of A2" and every blade of grass 12" or taller, I suggest you start with the property located across the alley from mine since it contains a lot of grass and �viceds that c�cecd youn c�ight restrictions. Also, piles of cut vegetation can be secn from thc alley. Lasl timc 1 checked, that property was o«med or leased to the City of Evcrcn and/or the Office of Neighborhoods. I am not complaining since I belicve that the law needs to be npplied with rcason, common sense and consideration of the legislative inlenL However, if you and your dcpartment take a diffcrent view, then I e�pcct that law to bc applicd to the City and the P-Patch in Uie c�act samc manner as it is uscd against private citizcns, likc mysclC To dcem my vcgetation a harnrd Uccause it is "becoming tall" and ignore actual violations on an adjacent property secros a scicctivic enforccment of Qie law based upon bias and could provide evidence to sho�v tLe actions taken against me are arbitrary and capricious. She�.ild you or your depnrtnten[ continuc in pursuit of 6nes for the allegations c�iscussed in this Ictter, 1 ��ould cxpect a fair henring in front of an appropriatc tribunal.
