From: Mark Ortmeier To: nu b1iccommentC6citvofot.us Subject: Racoon House Date: Wednesday, May 3, 2023 1:01:27 PM Hello! I am writing to vent my ire over the Racoon House. The fact that the city is at all considering this as some sort of work of art is disgusting. My personal concern is that I had a problem with a deck I was building a while ago and the city was really on top of me about removing the part that was outside of the set back, no extensions, multiple surveys, etc. I don't feel that the city in this case is being consistent. In the end I had to remove the portion that was not compliant with the cities codes. All this being said I would appreciate not having the racoon house accepted as a work of art and require that the city's coding be enforced consistently and not have the rules bent as they seeming are in this case merely because of some peoples opinions. I am saddened that the city conducts it business in this way and frankly feel that I have probably just wasted 15 minutes of my time.
