demonstrate, that they have incurred construction cost so the City will have a liability as a result. They're not in compliance, and it needs to be red -tag and shut down before any more expenses are incurred. The Glicks continued to bulldoze their way through. Mrs. Wendell further stated that she encouraged the City to look very carefully at these purported excess cost they have had. There were ample opportunities, and the Glicks just thought, were going to ramrod this despite some opposition that we have incurred, we have our building permit and were going forward full- speed ahead. Thank you. Vic Ressler (Citizen) stated he lives at 4020 Holbrook. As far as cost, remember that probably much of that is land cost and they still have the land they can resell, but that is really beside the point. Mr. Ressler stated he read in the paper and got a letter, because he own property across from a site in Reno, that the City of Reno has approved for them to move on to another place, a much bigger place that would afford them for other opportunities besides just recycling. Having said that, it is just his opinion that in order for them to go ahead and try to recover money from the city, they have to go through this process. If you grant them the variance and grant them this permission to, override the City's decision not to let it go there, then once they have that they can pursue remedies with the City and they can go there with their other project. In Mr. Ressler's opinion he stated that this board then should deny letting them build there. If that happens the variance is academic. The variance doesn't mean anything if this board say, no, we're not overriding what the City has done. They can get their legal stuff going with the City and work that out. The amount of it is up to that. We don't have any control over that. The board doesn't have control over that. If their intent is to go to Reno, we understand they've gotten approval to do so, this will allow them to go on and do that. So this is a procedural thing. In Mr. Ressler's opinion he stated this is a procedural thing they have to do in order to go forward on anything. His suggestion would be for the board not to override the City. Thank you. Jerry Haning stated we need a motion to either affirm or reverse the decision of the City of Paris building commission. Do I hear a motion? Motion was made by Marilyn Smith, seconded by Louise Hagood to affirm with the City of Paris decision. Motion carried 4 -0. b. Consideration of Mr. Glicks's Variance request for property located at 4250 Lamar Avenue, Paris, Texas.

Steve Walker stated he already said everything that he believes applies to both things. So everything that was said previously, he urges the same information with this request for
