I will essume thnt you received a copy of the City Code seetion which applles to your proposed use. One of the purposes oY requirtng your proposed school to obtain a Special Property Uae Permit is to insure that the facllity meets fire and safety codes and is compatlble with the surrounding residential neighborhood. Compllance with these rec�uirements is not only to the City's benefit, but also to the benefit of the ehureh and the ch{ldren wFo attend your school. Even though you may view the sehool activity as an extension oi your regular church curriculwn, the City nevertheless has tl�e responsibility to insist that you obtain a Speciel Property Use ,Permit. Unfortunately, the City does not have the latitude to make a special exception in the case of your propaaed school. I have been informed that you intend to open the school and begin classes this week. Whtle the City cannot condone the opening of the sch�ol without the proper permit, it is willing to consider giving ycu special r.onsideration in keeping the school open during the pendency of the speciel property use permit proceedings if you would reciprocate by immediately contacting the City to make arrangements to acquire the necessary permii. 1 would esk that you contact Gerry Ervine at 259-8731. However, if Mr. Ervine has not been contacted by Monday, September 14, 1981, this office will heve no al:arnative but to consider what legal recourae would be required to insure that the City Code is complled with. I urge you to contact the City as soon es possible to avoid plecing your school in jeopardy of being closed down.
