Following is a response to your questions in order:

(1) We have the survey and are still evaluating it. It appears that the height of the building (measured to the mid roof line) is less than 35 feet. However, the house is approximately 3.3 feet closer than permitted on the left side and 0.1 feet closer than permitted on the 27th Street North side. I will send you a copy of the survey once we have decided a course of action.

(2) The County has a negotiated contract with the Journal for our legal ads. We get reduced rates. Even with the reduced rates the ads run as much as $1000 or more per month. We have no such deal with the Sun Gazette.

(3) Demolition was allowed as part of the building permit for the additions. No separate demolition permit was issued. As I have said before, the owner was not supposed to demolish the north and east walls, but was allowed to replace them by the Zoning Administrator.

(4) I will investigate making the Variance reports available on line as we continue to upgrade our system.
