NOTICE
It is the responsibility of the applicant/permittee, not Spokane County, to see to it that the use described on the front of this permit complies with
applicable codes and requirements and that required inspections are requested. Failure to request required inspections and obtain the necessary
approvals prior to progressing beyond the point where inspections are required may necessitate removal of certain parts of the construction at the
applicant's/permittee's or property owner's expense. At a minimum, the following inspections ARE REQUIRED by County Code:
1. FOOTING - when forms and reinforcement are in place and prior to placement of concrete—all structures, including manufactured homes.
NOTE: This inspection includes review of the structure's setbacks from property lines. Minimum setbacks are established by County zoning
regulations. Typically, side and rear yard setbacks are measured from property lines, while setbacks for yards abutting streets are measured from
the property line or the center line of the roadway right-of-way, whichever provides the greater setback from the center line of the roadway right-of-
way. Curb lines and fence lines are not necessarily indicative of property lines. In some residential areas, the County can own as much as 20 feet of
right-of-way between your property and the actual improved street/curb. The responsibility to comply with applicable setback provisions lies solely
with the permittee—neither Spokane County nor its authorized representatives assume any responsibility for the verification or location of your
property lines. Please verify their location prior to locating your structure. Failure to properly locate the structure may require its relocation at the
owner's/permittee's expense.
2. FOUNDATION - when forms and reinforcement are in place and prior to placement of concrete.
3. FRAMING - after all framing, bracing and blocking is in place, and prior to concealing.
4. INSULATION - prior to the installation of drywall.
5. PLUMBING - after rough -in, before covering, and final.
6. MECHANICAL - rough -in of piping, before covering, metal chimneys before concealment, and final.
7. FINAL - when complete and prior to occupancy and/or use. Please provide 24 hours notice. All permits require final inspection.
NOTE: In addition to inspection of the structure, this inspection includes review of site improvements (typically depicted on the approved site plan)
required by ordinance or as a condition of approval of this permit. Items such as the installation of fire hydrants, fire department access, on-site
drainage ("208 swales"), road improvements, parking, and landscaping are common requirements of a permit/site plan which must be com-
pleted prior to final approval of a building or issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy.
8. MANUFACTURED HOMES - Final inspection required when complete, stairs, handrails, skirting, etc. installed, and prior to occupancy; completed
inspection record card must be available on site.
9. SEWERS - prior to cover
10. RIGHT-OF-WAY/APPROACH - prior to placement of concrete, or, if gravel approach, after completion.
In addition to the above, any plumbing or mechanical systems or material which would be concealed by framing, drywall, concrete, etc., must be inspected
prior to cover. Check with the department for "special inspections" in conjunction with commercial projects.

On behalf of my Pam Senske and Mike Senske, I hereby request copies of any petitions received in the past
month or so referring to Painted Hills Golf Course, Chester Creek Par 3, or Mike or Pam Senske.
Our intent is to notify all petitioners of the errors and misrepresentations that we believe were included in the
petition prepared by and distributed by Sylvia Riddle. Our attorney may also be contacting the individuals
signing the petition to inquire about possible oral misrepresentations of the facts.
It is our understanding that we will be charged a fee of $0.175 per copy. We request only the copies of pages
with names and signatures, not the other supportive information that Ms. Riddle submitted. Please contact me
if this request will represent more than 100 responses.

Michael, I have looked into this issue a little more and have reviewed Francine's letter to Commissioner Roskelley. As you
may know the Zoning code does not specify four parking spaces per hole. As I understand, we, the County, have
customarily applied that number per hole over the years, although I do not belive it is by written policy. Section 14.802.160
allows you to vary this requirement should you choose to do so. In this case, it may be an option for you to consider. In
addition, Mr. Senske asked me to convey his proposal to mark the parking on Thorpe to require "back in" parking to
alleviate his concern of the golfers standing in the road while unloading their cars. Would that negate our zoning code
issue of backing into the right of way?

Hi Bill,
I am not sure if your staff has had an opportunity to discuss with you the recent petition received by the Board
regarding the new development for the Painted Hills Golf Course. If not, please contact either Tammie or Pat.
The Board has asked us to meet with Michael Senske to discuss resolution for parking lot design violations to
the Spokane County Zoning Code regulations. Before this meeting is held, Michael Needham, Jim Manson,
Mark Holman and myself would like to meet with you regarding your involvement in a waiver to allow parking
in the right-of-way. Can you meet this Friday morning? Please let me know what time will work for you.

Francine returned from a short vacation this morning, I've reviewed the situation with her. She received a draft of
an intended letter from Mark Holman to Michael Senske, which we discussed. I'd suggest we hold on any letters or
phone calls to Mr. Senske at this point. Apparently, Jim Emacio has also advised a staff meeting with Mr. Senske
ASAP.
We'd like to meet with you and any of your staff today, from 3:00 pm on. How does that sound?
I've begun my responses to Gary Oberg's request to answer Commissioner Roskelley's concerns, and we can go

of us, including Gary, on Friday, July 21st.

The situation came about as a result of a couple of actions: The first was in early April when a flood plain permit was
issued. Use of the County Project Review Group (email) as a notification system to the rest of Public Works for project
permits and other actions which cross divisional lines should help bring others into various projects earlier in the process.
Preapplication meetings on larger flood plain permits would also be of assistance.
The second was uncoordinated review and uncoordinated site development plans with regards to parking in the right of
way. We have taken steps to assure all the divisional sign off's are located on a single 'master' site plan in addition to the
individual site plans (landscaping, drainage, etc.) approved by the various divisions.
At this time, correspondence has been drafted to go to Mr Senske with regards to rectifying the issues associated with the
permit. I intend to review it with both Francine and Jeff prior to mailing.
A meeting with Planning staff, and and other divisions typically involved in the review process to provide an overview of
expected signoff proceedures on permit/site plans could be beneficial.

indicated that a meeting took place with Commissioner McCaslin, staff, Mr. Gemmill and himself on Friday
concerning this matter. He further indicated that Commissioner McCaslin was going to update you on what had

The petition that I received from the Commissioners' office addresses two issues, primarily parking lot design, and filling

determine the accuracy of parking lot design. If you have anything that you can add, please review a copy of the petition

received a phone call this morning from Mrs. Cooper, one of the neighbors in the Chester Creek area. She called

specifically about his paving in the flood plain. The neighbors are very sensitive to changes in the flood plain and
specifically threats to the access in and out of the Forest Meadows area during flood conditions. She explained that
Sylvia Riddle is writing a letter to the Commissioners and organizing neighborhood action to protest this project.
After talking with Tammie Williams about the project, I returned Mrs. Cooper's call. Essentially Mr. Senske has fulfilled
the requirements for, and obtained a flood plain permit. In addition Sylvia Riddle has requested, and been given a
copy of Tammie's file on this project. Mrs. Cooper was satisfied with this information, and did not feel that a letter to
the Commissioners was warranted.
However, I thought you might want a heads -up on this issue. It may still be an issue for Mrs. Riddle. If you need some

Re: Public Records Request Dated May 4, 2000
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Riddle:
In your public records requested dated May 4, 2000, you made the following four (4) requests,
which I have followed with the County's response.
1. When was chapter 14.806 adopted by Spokane County?
I have enclosed a copy of the face sheet of the Zoning Code, to include Section
14.806, indicating its date of adoption was October 22, 1985.
2. List the property addresses of any property which has been required to comply with the
Type I Screen Standard.
The County does not have a database with this information. In order to determine
the property addresses of any property which has been required to comply with the
Type I Screen Standard, is will be necessary to review approximately 6,910
commercial permits to determine which ones were required to comply with the Type
I Standards. You may contact Pam Knutsen, Office Administrator of the Building
and Code Enforcement Division at 477-3675 to make arrangements to view these
7
files.
3. Provide copies of the Type I screening plans for that property which seems to be the most
similar to the Riddle property at 13711 E. Mt. Spokane Park Drive.
The Prosecuting Attorney's Office has advised me that this request is not for
"identifiable public records" and therefore not subject to the Public Disclosure Act.
If you can clarify and narrow this request to identifiable properties, the County will
reconsider the same.
4. For the following addresses please explain why these properties were not required to
comply with the Type I screen standard:

Rob
• Painted Hills Golf Course - Dishman-Mica Hwy.
• Haase Landscaping - Thorpe Rd.
• Environment West - N. 7015 Argonne Rd.
• Spokane Valley Seventh Day Adventist Church - S. 1601 Sullivan Rd.
• Valley Bible Church - S. 3021 Sullivan Rd.
• Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - E. 13608 40th

Hi all,
I have reviewed this section many times and my interpretation is that landscape plan modifications that may be
permitted by the Planning Director only include those development standards of that particular section/Chapter,
14.806. Section 14.802.220(3) addresses landscaping for parking lots and is not included within the development
standards for landscape screening and buffering identified in Chapter 14.806. This section specifically states, "Unless
otherwise stated herein, a parking area or outdoor display area fronting a street right-of-way shall provide a landscape
planting are of as Type IV of at least three (3) feet in width along the entire street frontage ...". I believe the intent of
this regulation is to assure, at a minimum, that three feet of landscaping is provided between parking lots and adjacent
rights of way. I also believe the landscaping standards for parking lots are separated due to the unique impact parking
has on adjacent development. We should not compromise the ability of staff to enforce landscaping standards as they
are written. The decision made here will have impact on our ability to enforce the standards within the entire County.
Whatever Michael's decision may be regarding this issue, enforcement of the regulations should be consistent from
project to project. We may be opening Pandora's box. I hope that we don't compound the past error's made in the
review of this proposal by covering them up through inappropriate enforcement of Zoning regulations.
Just my opinion,
Francine.

Michael, I have thought about our meeting yeaterday and where we left things. I'm concerned that we will subject
this project to yet another public hearing if it isn't absolutely necessary. Please review section 14.806.020 of the
Zoning code. I believe this provision may let you make a determination to approve an alternate design and allow
the 'required' parking across Thorpe to the south, or elsewhere on the existing facillity, and still allow for the
'public' parking on and adjacent to Thorpe with minimal, if any landscaping. Let me know your thoughts on this.

Michael, I have looked into this issue a little more and have reviewed Francine's letter to Commissioner Roskelley. As you
may know the Zoning code does not specify four parking spaces per hole. As I understand, we, the County, have
customarily applied that number per hole over the years, although I do not belive it is by written policy. Section 14.802.160
allows you to vary this requirement should you choose to do so. In this case, it may be an option for you to consider. In
addition, Mr. Senske asked me to convey his proposal to mark the parking on Thorpe to require "back in" parking to
alleviate his concern of the golfers standing in the road while unloading their cars. Would that negate our zoning code
issue of backing into the right of way?

Francine returned from a short vacation this morning, I've reviewed the situation with her. She received a draft of
an intended letter from Mark Holman to Michael Senske, which we discussed. I'd suggest we hold on any letters or
phone calls to Mr. Senske at this point. Apparently, Jim Emacio has also advised a staff meeting with Mr. Senske
ASAP.
We'd like to meet with you and any of your staff today, from 3:00 pm on. How does that sound?
I've begun my responses to Gary Oberg's request to answer Commissioner Roskelley's concerns, and we can go
over those as well. After our session today, I believe we should brief Gary, then invite Mr. Senske to meet with all
of us, including Gary, on Friday, July 21st.

Subject: RE: Painted Hills
The situation came about as a result of a couple of actions: The first was in early April when a flood plain permit was
issued. Use of the County Project Review Group (email) as a notification system to the rest of Public Works for project
permits and other actions which cross divisional lines should help bring others into various projects earlier in the process.
Preapplication meetings on larger flood plain permits would also be of assistance.
The second was uncoordinated review and uncoordinated site development plans with regards to parking in the right of
way. We have taken steps to assure all the divisional sign off's are located on a single 'master' site plan in addition to the
individual site plans (landscaping, drainage, etc.) approved by the various divisions.
At this time, correspondence has been drafted to go to Mr Senske with regards to rectifying the issues associated with the
permit. I intend to review it with both Francine and Jeff prior to mailing.
A meeting with Planning staff, and and other divisions typically involved in the review process to provide an overview of
expected signoff proceedures on permit/site plans could be beneficial.
Thanks,
Mark

I am not sure if your staff has had an opportunity to discuss with you the recent petition received by the Board regarding
the new development for the Painted Hills Golf Course. If not, please contact either Tammie or Pat. The Board has asked
us to meet with Michael Senske to discuss resolution for parking lot design violations to the Spokane County Zoning Code
regulations. Before this meeting is held, Michael Needham, Jim Manson, Mark Holman and myself would like to meet with
you regarding your involvement in a waiver to allow parking in the right-of-way. Can you meet this Friday morning?
Please let me know what time will work for you.
Thanks,
Francine

Good Morning Jim,
Francine returned from a short vacation this morning, I've reviewed the situation with her. She received a draft of
an intended letter from Mark Holman to Michael Senske, which we discussed. I'd suggest we hold on any letters or
phone calls to Mr. Senske at this point. Apparently, Jim Emacio has also advised a staff meeting with Mr. Senske
ASAP.
We'd like to meet with you and any of your staff today, from 3:00 pm on. How does that sound?
I've begun my responses to Gary Oberg's request to answer Commissioner Roskelley's concerns, and we can go
over those as well. After our session today, I believe we should brief Gary, then invite Mr. Senske to meet with all
of us, including Gary, on Friday, July 21st.
Thanks,

Please respond in writing to Commissioner Roskelley and described what post changes have been done

really like to know more about the in-house mistake and how we can prevent it in the future. How is it that
so many things were overlooked? Why didn't the permit section pick up on some of the problems? How is

has indicated that a meeting took place with Commissioner McCaslin, staff, Mr. Gemmill and himself
on Friday concerning this matter. He further indicated that Commissioner McCaslin was going to
update you on what had happened and current plan of action. If further followup should be needed

Subject: RE: Painted Hills
The situation came about as a result of a couple of actions: The first was in early April when a flood plain permit was
issued. Use of the County Project Review Group (email) as a notification system to the rest of Public Works for project
permits and other actions which cross divisional lines should help bring others into various projects earlier in the process.
Preapplication meetings on larger flood plain permits would also be of assistance.
The second was uncoordinated review and uncoordinated site development plans with regards to parking in the right of
way. We have taken steps to assure all the divisional sign offs are located on a single 'master' site plan in addition to the
individual site plans (landscaping, drainage, etc.) approved by the various divisions.
At this time, correspondence has been drafted to go to Mr Senske with regards to rectifying the issues associated with the
permit. I intend to review it with both Francine and Jeff prior to mailing.
A meeting with Planning staff, and and other divisions typically involved in the review process to provide an overview of
expected signoff proceedures on permit/site plans could be beneficial.
Thanks,
Mark

With regards to the issues raised and recent permitting activity at the site, our records reflect:
-a flood plain permit issued 4/3/2000, and
-a building permit issued 5/9/2000 for a "12x16 starter building w/9hole par 3 golf course". The permit application was
signed off by Building staff (Shatto, Forry), Planning staff (Millgard, Nunnery) & Engineer staff (Harper, Roth,
Williams).
It would be appreciated if you would please circulate any draft responses for comment prior to forwarding them to the
Board or others.

The petition that I received from the Commissioners' office addresses two issues, primarily parking lot design, and
filling and construction in the flood plain. Tammie Williams is looking into the flood plain issues and I will be reviewing
plans to determine the accuracy of parking lot design. If you have anything that you can add, please review a copy of
the petition that I will be provide you this morning. I am planning on providing a set of comments to the

Re: Public Records Request Dated May 4, 2000
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Riddle:
In your public records requested dated May 4, 2000, you made the following four (4) requests,
which I have followed with the County's response.
1. When was chapter 14.806 adopted by Spokane County?
I have enclosed a copy of the face sheet of the Zoning Code, to include Section 14.806,
indicating its date of adoption was October 22, 1985.
2. List the property addresses of any property which has been required to comply with the Type I
Screen Standard.
The County does not have a database with this information. In order to determine the
property addresses of any property which has been required to comply with the Type I
Screen Standard, is will be necessary to review approximately 6,910 commercial
permits to determine which ones were required to comply with the Type I Standards.
You may contact Pam Knutsen, Office Administrator of the Building and Code
Enforcement Division at 477-3675 to make arrangements to view these files.
3. Provide copies of the Type I screening plans for that property which seems to be the most
similar to the Riddle property at 13711 E. Mt. Spokane Park Drive.
The Prosecuting Attorney's Office has advised me that this request is not for
"identifiable public records" and therefore not subject to the Public Disclosure Act. If
you can clarify and narrow this request to identifiable properties, the County will
reconsider the same.
34
4. For the following addresses please explain why these properties were not required to comply
with the Type I screen standard:
• Painted Hills Golf Course - Dishman-Mica Hwy.
• Haase Landscaping - Thorpe Rd.
• Environment West - N. 7015 Argonne Rd.
• Spokane Valley Seventh Day Adventist Church - S. 1601 Sullivan Rd.
• Valley Bible Church - S. 3021 Sullivan Rd.
• Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints - E. 13608 40th
The Prosecuting Attorney's Office has advised me that this request is not for
"identifiable public records" and therefore not subject to the Public Disclosure Act.

do or would John be doing the field investigatinon? I'm not sure what is meant by "they are required to obtain a building
permit for this type of construction" Can we contact the Utility and discuss with them what is/is not 'being constructed?".
Can we determine when/where the fence was built and whether or not it needed a permit, and if so straighten it out now?

Hi Gary. More on the substation. Apparently this is fairly far south on Dishman Mica. specifically to get there one would
go south on Dishman Mica past Painted Hills; take the first right after Painted Hills, which is Hallet rd. Proceed right on
Hallet road, up the hill, across the RR tracks; once past the RR tracks there is a driveway on the right, which is the
driveway to the substation. It is known as the Hopkins substation. As a substation there is no building per se, there is just
a fenced enclosure with the equipment etc. However, they are required to obtain a building permit for this type of
construction.
Call if you need more info. Thanks.

With regards to the issues raised and recent permitting activity at the site, our records reflect:
-a flood plain permit issued 4/3/2000, and
-a building permit issued 5/9/2000 for a "12x16 starter building w/9hole par 3 golf course". The permit application was
signed off by Building staff (Shatto, Forry), Planning staff (Millgard, Nunnery) & Engineer staff (Harper, Roth,
Williams).
It would be appreciated if you would please circulate any draft responses for comment prior to forwarding them to the
Board or others.

The petition that I received from the Commissioners' office addresses two issues, primarily parking lot design, and
filling and construction in the flood plain. Tammie Williams is looking into the flood plain issues and I will be reviewing
plans to determine the accuracy of parking lot design. If you have anything that you can add, please review a copy of
the petition that I will be provide you this morning. I am planning on providing a set of comments to the
Commissioners next week, on July 11. Let me know if there are items in the petition that you can help explain.

Michael, I have looked into this issue a little more and have reviewed Francine's letter to Commissioner Roskelley.
As you may know the Zoning code does not specify four parking spaces per hole. As I understand, we, the County,
have customarily applied that number per hole over the years, although I do not belive it is by written policy. Section
14.802.160 allows you to vary this requirement should you choose to do so. In this case, it may be an option for you
to consider. In addition, Mr. Senske asked me to convey his proposal to mark the parking on Thorpe to require "back
in" parking to alleviate his concern of the golfers standing in the road while unloading their cars. Would that negate
our zoning code issue of backing into the right of way?

RE: 4403 S Dishman Mica Road—Permit #00-3275—Golf Course
Dear Mr. Senske:

referenced permit does not appear to be consistent with applidable
County Zoning Code, sections 14.802.060.14:8O22O;and 14. 02
tP,+
In addition, the two parking areas existing on site do not provid tie minimum required off-
street parking stalls. The original Conditional Use Permit approving the golf course (CUE -26-85)
required a minimum of 65 off-street parking stalls for the 9 hole golf course proposed at that
time. The new 9 hole par 3 golf course requires 36 off-street parking stalls. This equates to a
total of 101 off-street parking stalls required. Only 80 stalls have been provided.
Copies of the referenced code provisions are enclosed for your review. Options available to
address the above would include relocation/reconfiguration of the parking to be consistent with
the Zoning Code or approval of a variance(s) through the Spokane County Hearing Examiner. In
either instance, Francine Shaw, Senior Planner, is familiar with the particulars of this project and
can assist you in addressing the above issues.
We recognize that permits have been issued and work is progressing in development of the
course. This work can proceed during resolution of the above, however we will be unable to
authorize any final approvals pending resolution of these issues.

MEMO
A DIVISION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
GARY OBERG, DIRECTOR
DATE: July 11, 2000
TO: John Roskelley, County Commissioner
FROM: Francine Shaw, Senior Planner
RE: Petition Regarding the Painted Hills Golf Course
Public works staff has had an opportunity to review concerns of the residents of
the Chester Creek neighborhood regarding requested flood safety changes and
traffic safety changes to the Painted Hills Golf Course as identified in their
petition to the Board of County Commissioners submitted on June 25, 2000. In
order to assist you in your response to the petitioners, please find below a list of
relevant facts pertaining to the development of the site.
A. The Division of Engineering has issued two permits for development within
the Chester Creek flood plain. The first permit was issued on April 3, 2000 for
grading and filling related to the development of the new nine hole par 3 golf
course. The second permit was issued on May 9, 2000 for the construction of
a starter shack and new 15 stall parking lot.
B. A letter titled "Developer Agreement (for) Alternative Off Street Parking" was
submitted to the Division of Engineering on May 5, 2000 by the property
owner, Michael Senske. This letter consents to the relocation of the 15 stall
parking lot in event Spokane County should widen or need the use of the
Thorpe Road right-of-way presently encompassed by the parking lot. Please
see enclosed letter.
C. Mr. Senske's May 5, 2000 letter was accepted and approved on May 9, 2000
by the County Engineer, Bill Johns. Division of Engineering staff indicated
Mr. John's acceptance of the letter also acts as a written release of liability for
possible damages that may be caused to the parking lot due to its location
within the Spokane County right-of-way.
D. RCW 36.70B.180 addresses developer agreements. You may want to
consult with legal staff to verify applicability of RCW 36.70B to this project.
Please find RCW 36.70B.180-210 enclosed.
E. Division of Planning staff released the building permit for the starter shack
and nine hole par 3 golf course on May 9, 2000. The sign -off incorrectly

waives all landscaping. Landscaping that can be waived pursuant to Section
14.806.020(2) of the Zoning Code only pertains to landscaping standards
identified in Chapter 14.806. Please see enclosed building permit.
F. The parking lot location and design are in conflict with the Spokane County
Zoning Code. The new parking lot has been constructed in violation with all
items listed within Section 14.802.060. The parking lot lacks landscaping as
provided in Section 14.802.220(3) which requires parking lots to provide a
three (3) foot -wide strip of Type IV landscaping along street frontages when
the requirements of Section 14.806.040(2) cannot be enforced. The parking
lot is in violation of Section 14.802.200(5) which requires all parking stalls to
be located within 60 feet of a landscape feature (including combination of
trees, shrubs, ground cover, etc.). Please see enclosed zoning regulations.
G. The two parking areas existing on site do not provide adequate off-street
parking stalls. As per Section 14.802.160 of the Zoning Code the Division
has determined that 4 off-street parking stalls are required for each hole. The
original Conditional Use Permit approving the golf course (file no. CUE -26-85)
required a minimum of 65 off-street parking stalls for the nine hole golf course
proposed at that time. The new nine hole par 3 golf course requires 36 off-
street parking stalls. This equates to a total of 101 off-street parking stall
required. Only 80 stalls have been provided.
There are options for correcting the deficiencies in parking lot design and
location. However, none of these options come without consequences to the
County. These remedies include (1) the property owner requesting and
receiving Hearing Examiner approval of several variances to allow the new
parking lot to remain in its current location within the Thorpe Road right-of-way
and allow deviations to the Zoning Code standards identified in Section
14.802.060, Sections 14.806.040(2 & 5) and Section 14.802.160, (2) requesting
the property owner to relocate the parking lot based on his May 5, 2000 letter
agreeing to relocate the parking lot at his expense, or (3) the County relocating
the parking lot at our expense due to approval of the new parking lot within the
County right-of-way.
If the property owner chooses the variance route, I believe it is the responsibility
of the County to waive processing fees and pay for any mailing cost associated
with the variance procedure due to our failure to process the permit accurately.
No guarantee exists that the Hearing Examiner will approve the variances, so

Engineering recommends as a condition of approval that Future Acquisition Area
be required for the widening of Thorpe Road, an Interim Conditional Use Permit
must also be requested and approved as per Section 14.710.1000 of the Zoning
Code.
With regard to item 2 noted above, the applicant may have legal standing to
require the County to pay for the relocation of the parking lot. This is because
the agreement between the County Engineer and the property owner to relocate
the parking lot is contingent upon the County widening Thorpe Road not because
we failed to review the permit appropriately.
In addition to the items noted above as "enclosed", I have provided you with
copies of the approved site development plan for the proposal on which I have
drawn the location of the new 15 stall parking lot and the design drawing of the
15 stall parking lot for your review.
If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
