REs Ordi.riance No, l 14 �
r
�
As I disr3ussed with you last week, it is our opinion that the intent E
of the building contractor ordinance (Urdinance No, 15714� was to �
pravide � prot:ection to the Y�awn�er and the smail property c�mer
in the matter of renavations ancl construction.projects on theis hane- �
steads. I�vwev+er, in light b� the recent City Attorney's opinion, the s
ordinanoe applies to all w�rk done on any residence building in the
CitY► up to and including the Radisson Hote1. .; �
� In ans�.r to y�ur request for a suggested revision to the ordi.nance, �
to put it back in the proper perspective, we sugqest the follawing.
Section l should be changed to read as follaws: '
Definitians. As used herein, the term:
(1) "Build.ing contracting b�siness" means the constructaq�,;�of .au new
hare, building or w�rk done by�a bui.ltling cantractor in c�np]:iance
with a guarantee or cam�letion''of' a new bui.lding project, or the repair,
replacement, remodeling, parinting or redecorating, alteration, conversion, E
moderniza�ion, impravement or add.i�itm to any land or building, or that �
portion tY�xeof which is to be uSed as a residence building contain�ng
not mare than four (4) dwelling units, . . . �
.
The balan�e �of the o�dinance will remain the same: �
