  • Second offense, $500 for each permit plus a processing fee of $1,500 plus the cost for each permit that would have been incurred if a building permit were issued in the first instance.
  • Third offense, $500 for each permit plus a processing fee of $2,250 plus the cost for each permit that would have been incurred if a permit were issued in the first instance.

The Council will also consider second passage of an ordinance allowing right turns from Airport Road on to Evergreen Avenue.

changing the classification of  lots 542, 543 and 544 on Assessor’s Plat 376 a

from Residential A-7 and A-10 to Waterfront Business.
