(4-0) POT O'GOLD BINGO PARLOR The Clerk Administrator reported that the landscape and lighting plan ror the Pot 0' Gold Bingo Parlor were to be returned to Council for their review no later than June 1987. She advised that Planner Miller had not received a copy of the landscape plan which identified the plantings (description and size) and therefore was unable to recommend approval. After discussion, Council concurred that approval from Planner Miller was sufficient and the landscape plan would not have to be reviewed by Council at this time. It was determined that the lighting plan submitted when public hall use was granted would be sufficient. Council discussed the registered letter sent to Mr. Walsh from the Building Inspector (6-26-87). Discussion ensued relative to the issuance of certificates of occupancy for commercial properties prior to the completion of the buildins and compliance with all inspections. Jim Adams, Manager of Walsh properties, stated it was his understanding that all final inspections of the building had been completed; commented that the property owner would cooperate with all requests in the letter. Morrison reported that after discussion with the Building Inspector, it was her understanding that certificates of occupancy had been issued in the past prior to completion of all inspections to eliminate further delay to the occupants. She explained that periodical inspections of the premises had been done by the electrical, plumbing, building and heating inspectors. Council concurred that in the future no certificates of occupancy should be issued for business properties until owner's compliance with all codes are met and all inspections of the business have been completed. Council determined that the items listed in the Building Inspector's letter of 6-26-87 require administrative approval, when accomplished, and would not have to be reviewed by Council.
