Mr. 1Vlaloney felt that homeowners should know if they have utility easements on their land or not. 1mVIr. Dubelko suggested that it is important that the Building Department and the Boards & Commissions work well together to make sure the board has everything the board needs to fulfill their duties. He understands that there may be some difficulty in residential applications in way of gettina the information being requested. In the end, if the building department and the coinmission can not work out what is to be provided City Council can address the requireinents by legislation. Board of Zoning Appeals has specific powers and can regulate what is required and the Building Department has an obligation to provide certain material to the board so they can perform their duties. Therefore, the Commission and the Building Department should work together, if this board realistically requires specific items to do their job then the Building Department should do everything they can under their authority to require applicants provide the information. Mr. Ibyixaarczyk again indicated that the Building Commissioner would be researching what the board is requesting over the next few months. Ma•. Dubelko voiced that the Board does have rule making authority of their own, which can require applicants to produce things. However, it is better to first go through the Building Department.
