RE: Jet Ski-Roof top Placements.
Dear Mr.Thomas,
As we have exchanged some discussion on this matter,you were to provide to my
attention a short letter explaining circumstances as to why you believe that placement
of various items on your roof-top was a 'grandfathered' use of your property,stemming
from days when your facility was in the township. However,you indicated that you felt
that this `grandfathering' may have also lapsed.
You have also submitted to my office a request for temporary signage to allow the
placement of this equipment on the roof. I was hoping that this could be accomplished
from time to time via a Temporary Signage Permit;unfortunately,this type of use is not
permitted under any circumstances.
Considering the above, at this time the City will allow the continued placement of the
Jet Ski as it is currently installed though July 15th, 2008; but after such date this must be
removed and you are further prohibited from placing items on your roof.Should you wish
to more formally revisit the `grandfathering' issues I would again ask that you provide to
me a letter indicating easons why you feel your site does revert o former standards and
we may proceed fr.m hat point.
