I think it is likely we'll need <br /> somebody from Fire Dept.,either you or the inspector(in this case Yoder)to speak briefly.These Scrap Metal <br /> applications have been more controversial and contested,as you're probably aware. <br /> Regards, <br /> Adam E.Taylor <br /> Assistant City Attorney <br /> - ,F Legal Department <br /> (574)235-5868 <br /> alaylor@southbendin.gov <br /> 1 <br />
