83(a)(3)...all persons shall be treated in a courteous, fair and <br /> impartial manner. Giving us then the dictionary definitions for fair <br /> and impartial. As I look as this and then I reviewed the plan <br /> review comments letters that were included...and then I looked at <br /> the notes with Mr. Daniel Lee...I was trying to find out where in <br /> here...where in any of those documents was anything that talked to <br /> unfair and not being impartial...where was that included in the <br /> documents? <br /> Mr. Tucker: The process itself is intended to supply one letter of corrections <br /> and one response as an expeditious treatment of all building <br /> permits. So by expanding it out to multiple letters and multiple <br /> request and by statements made to Mr. Lee in these two meetings <br /> that the notations are there along the lines of well you should be <br /> building with wood...we understand wood...we don't like this <br /> metal stuff...why are you doing this.

That process was <br /> abandoned and it was done piecemeal over the course of ten <br /> months. Now additional since then...while we have...I had the <br /> burden of meeting the County's burden of..being required <br /> engineering which is an usual moment over the past fifty years for <br /> single family single story home and we met that burden by <br /> producing engineering as requested. I have come across evidence <br /> of which I'd like to submit if may that would demonstrate that Mr. <br /> Lee himself as a structural engineer working for the County...was <br /> 19 <br />
