square footage of the structure prior to the fire.

accessory structures.

The estimated cost for building permits is based upon the
building permits on record at the City for the subject
properties. Should the City Council wish to waive the cost of
building permits for the above - listed fire - rebuilds, the total
cost would be $8,699.15. So far, approximately $300 of the
$5,000 of Charles Abbott Associates donation has been used.
Staff would suggest that if the City Council were to grant such
a waiver of building permit fees that the wavier would expire on
December 31, 2004; it would apply only to the current owner;
utilize the remaining Charles Abbott Associates donation; and
