REVIEW - Butail Status A large crowd of interested persons were present to hear a status report by the City Attorney, on the decision of the Superior Court in the Butail vs. City of Medina case. Mayor Watton recognized receiving 6 letters from the neighbors in op- position to the variance. Wilma Edmonds, 7721 N.E. 24th, was spokesperson for the opposition and read aloud a petition representing 55 signatures. The City Attorney reported that the court ruled in favor of the variance applied for by Anil Butail of 2205 78th Ave. N.E. in which he asked to proceed with construction granted on Building Permit #1575 that was issued a STOP WORK ORDER by the building official, on an illegal building site. At their meeting on May 5, 1979, the Board of Adjustment denied the variance. The court felt the Board of Adjustment had made a mistake of law in not granting the variance; that he would issue a writ of mandamus requiring the City to grant the variance and allow construction to proceed. A written decision of the court has not been entered and Mr. Butail's attorney has agreed not to present a written decision to the judge until after the August City Council meeting in order to allow the City to decide whether to appeal the court's ruling. The City Attorney offered several avenues in which the City could consider to resolve the matter since a period of two years is es- timated to appeal the decision and the Butail residence would remain in essentially the same unfinished state that it is in at the pre- sent time. Council directed the City Attorney to attempt a settlement agreement with the Butail's after acquiring an estimate of costs or damages they had incurred and report back to the September meeting for their decision. The following spoke in opposition to the court's decision and urged Council to appeal the decision: Jan & John Roehr - 2233 77th N.E. Robert Sheridan - 2221 77th N.E. Paul Abdallah - 2221 77th N.E. Page 2 HEDGE HEIGHT - Art Johansen - 3318 78th Place Mr. Johansen was present to offer a complaint against his neighbors, John and Harriet Williams, relative to a property -line non -conforming fence created in conflict with Medina Ordinance No. 55.

Other sug- gestions given were that the residents using the roadway share the costs of surfacing the lane. But the City Attorney stated that if it is de- fined as a private lane, there are more than four houses on it, and could possibly be required to bring it up to street standards. The audience did not favor this, as it would be 35 feet wide and cause speeding problems.
