A
B
Dewey
reagan
in
the
in
the
applicants
list
and
I
believe
he's.
B
That's
not
who
I
have
on
my
list,
but
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
unmute
you
dewey
reagan,
you're
unmuted.
Can
you
let
me
know
you
can
hear
me
okay.
Yes,
I
can
hear
you.
I
don't
think
I'm
gonna
be
a
presenter,
I'm
represented
by
council
brad
strasberg
and
he
should
be
joining
us
momentarily.
B
Okay,
brad,
I
just
put
you
in
the
panelist
list:
you'll,
be
able
to
mute
and
unmute
yourself,
hello,
matt.
How
are
you
aubrey?
How
are
you
doing
all
right?
How
are
you
you're
doing
good
great.
B
Yes,
I
can
hear
you
nice
if
you
could
please
turn
on
your
camera,
while
you're
making
your
presentation
please.
Thank
you.
D
D
Well,
in
that
case,
unless
one
of
the
city
attorneys
tells
me
otherwise,
am
I
okay
to
begin
since
everyone
is
present
and
we're
recording.
D
Okay,
welcome
everyone
to
the
salt
lake
city
planning,
division
to
our
appeals.
Hearing
for
salt
lake
city,
my
name
is
matt
worthlin,
one
of
the
appeals
hearing
officers
for
the
city
tonight
it
is
thursday
march
10th,
and
tonight
we
have
two
matters
for
a
public
hearing
before
us.
D
Both
reagan
billboard
appeals
the
first
one
for
built
order,
approximately
938
north
900
west
and
the
second
one
with
respect
to
533
south
400
west
and
the
the
first
one
in
938.
Just
let
me
make
sure
this
is
the
one
that
I
think.
A
D
Well,
first
here
the
the
first
appeal
for
the
930
north
900
west
property,
and
just
a
a
reminder
that
this
was
originally
heard
on
december
9th,
but
because
of
a
noticing
issue
that
we
are
re
hearing
this
issue.
So
just
as
a
reminder,
nothing
from
that
previous
hearing
is
is
applicable
here.
It's
as
if
that
carrying
back
on
the
surface,
never
happened
so
we're
starting
over,
and
that
was
long
enough
ago.
I
can't
even
remember
it
anyway,
so
so
I
think
we're
in
in
in
good
shape
there.
D
So
if,
if
we
could,
I
I
think
it
if
everyone's
okay,
if
there's
any
staff
person
that
wants
to
get,
I
mean,
let
me
just
say
this.
Obviously,
I've
read
all
the
materials,
the
the
the
appeal
the
from
the
appellant,
as
well
as
the
city
response.
So
I'm
generally
familiar
with
that.
D
If,
if
amy
or
anyone
from
the
city
wants
to
give
any
preliminary
sort
of
just
general
information
about
the
the
matter
before
us,
and
maybe
for
the
purposes
of
anybody
from
the
public,
I
realize
that
I
don't
think
anybody
from
the
public
is
is
here
to
participate
in.
Although
it
is
a
public
hearing,
maybe
beneficial
at
a
minimum.
D
Just
to
give
a
a
brief
put
the
matter
in
context
for
us
and
then
following
that,
if
if
there
is
any
coming
from
the
city,
we'll
turn
some
time
over
to
it,
and
I
understand
mr
strasberg
that
that
you
are
here
representing
the
the
appellant
and
and
we'll
give
you
time
to
present
your
arguments
and
and
then
how
the
city
will
have
an
opportunity
to
respond
to
that,
and
then
we'll
give
the
appellant
the
last
word
and
then
we'll
and
I
may
jump
in
for
questions
and
issues
along
the
way.
D
So
amy
did
you
have
anything
preliminarily.
You
can
just
kind
of
set
the
stage
for
the
matter.
E
E
The
request
was
denied
because
under
salt
lake
city's
billboard
regulations,
new
billboards
are
prohibited
within
600
feet
of
a
gateway,
and
the
proposed
location
of
the
billboard
is
on
a
parcel
that
abuts
interstate
I-15,
which
is
identified
as
a
gateway
in
the
city
code.
We
did
get
a
couple
public
comments.
Those
were
forwarded
you
to
you
earlier
today
by
aubry.
Hopefully
you
got
those,
and
I
do
think
that
we
actually
have
some
people
from
the
public
that
are
ready
to
speak
on
both
of
these
matters.
D
Oh
good,
thank
you
for
that
and
I
apologize
for
not
recognizing
that
beforehand.
I
I
didn't
want
to
give
the
impression
to
any
members
of
the
public
that
we're
not
wanting
to
hear
from
you.
We
are
a
citizen
public
hearing,
so
thank
you
for
clarifying
it
by
the
way
I
did
receive
for
the
record
those
items
that
were
forwarded
on
to
me
by
by
aubry
so
thank
you,
amy
anything.
E
E
No,
that's
everything.
I'm
samantha
slark,
I'm
sure
we'll
have
a
lot
more
information
than
I
okay.
D
Great,
thank
you,
mr
strasberg.
If
you
want
to
take
take
the
time
you
need
and
share
your
thoughts,
anything
again
that
you
feel
would
be
helpful
and
that
will
give
the
city
an
opportunity,
then
we'll
open
it
up
for
for
public
hearing.
C
Okay,
great,
I
appreciate
that
and
I
don't
know
what
I
call
you,
your
your
worship,
your
your
greatness,
I'm
not
really
sure
what
your
title
is.
You
can
just
call
me
matt,
matt,.
C
Well,
matt,
from
our
perspective
this,
this
really
should
have
been
a
pretty
simple
relocation
matter
under
state
code.
We
submitted
our
application
and
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
this
is
application
3844
back
to
relocate
on
april
29th.
C
Now,
admittedly,
nothing
in
the
application
says
it's
supposed
to
be
under
state
law,
state
relocation
law,
but
there's
no
requirement
for
that.
So
it's
just
a
you
know,
and
it's
just
an
application.
You
submit
that
doesn't
even
have
space
for
something
like
that,
but
but
reagan
did
notice
that
after
that
was
submitted,
that
they
do
send
a
letter,
at
least
on
occasion,
specifying
hey.
C
This
is
going
to
be
under
state
law,
not
city
code
and
just
wanted
to
make
sure
the
city
was
was
aware
of
that,
and
that
was
on
may
24th.
C
That
was
a
few
weeks
later
and
then
we
received
an
email
from
the
city
on
may
28th,
basically
saying,
as
I
think,
amy
just
said,
city
denied
the
application
on
the
basis
that
city
ordinance
didn't
allow
for
it
and
they
tell
us
to
submit
a
new
application
if
it's
going
to
be
under
state
law
and
then
they
also
inform
us
that
that
is
a
final
decision
and
to
appeal
through
the
city's
procedures.
C
So
we
did
that
and
we
filed
then
a
new
application
just
to
be
on
the
safe
side
there
and
that's
ends
up
being
number
4949,
totally
different
new
application.
C
Of
course,
this
appeal
had
already
been
filed
months
prior
to
that.
So
it's
a
little
confusing
as
to
the
process
here
and
what
exactly
reagan's
supposed
to
do
now
I
mean
to
be
open
and
frankly
to
to
try
and
resolve
this
issue
we've.
C
We
have
and
continue
to
state
that
if
the
city
will
agree
that
our
our
second
application,
the
4949,
will
be
considered
on
its
own
without
making
some
argument
that
we're
now
barred
from
making
that
application
under
some
principle,
like
rest,
judo,
conor
waiver
or
any
equitable
or
legal
argument,
and
we
we've
told
them
before
we
will
agree
to
dismiss
this
appeal,
but
they
they
won't
agree
to
that,
or
at
least
that's
my
understanding
candidly,
I'm
new
to
this
case
right.
So
I
don't.
C
I
haven't,
had
communications
with
ms
slark
on
this
issue,
but
I've
I've
reviewed
emails,
and
I
don't
see
anything
that
said
that
the
city
would
agree
to
that.
C
C
C
Frankly,
if
they
don't
agree
to
that,
then
you
know
we
should
win
our
appeal,
because
our
appeal
is
under
you
know.
Our
our
request
for
relocation
is
allowed
and,
frankly
required
under
state
law.
The
city
only
provided
ordinances
in
as
an
objection
to
it,
which
are
essentially
all
due
respect
meaningless.
C
When
state
law
allows
for
the
relocation
and-
and
it's
109
513,
which
basically
says
this
happens,
if
they
don't,
if
the
city
doesn't,
you
know,
start
condemnation
proceedings
within
180
days
of
the
application
we
get
to
do
it
now,
we
don't.
I
have
no
interest
in
sort
of
you
know,
railroading
this
issue
through.
I
think
the
you
know
the
the
proper
way
to
do.
It
would
be
for
the
city
to
agree
that
the
first
application
has
no
bearing
on
the
second
application.
C
B
C
C
Obviously,
as
amy
just
said,
this
was
a
decision
based
entirely
on
city
code,
not
on
state
law.
So
I
don't
even
know
why
that
argument
is
being
made
here
and
second,
the
city.
Frankly,
I
know
we're
getting
a
little
technical
here,
but
the
city
should
be
a
stop
for
making
that
argument,
because
in
its
correspondence
to
us
in
the
denial
it
told
us
exactly
how
we
should
proceed
under
administrative
rules
and
it
even
gave
us
the
form.
C
It
said
see
the
form
here,
which
is
the
administrative
appeal
form.
So
to
now
argue:
oh,
you
you
messed
up.
I
mean
this
is
the
kind
of
game
that
we've
been
playing
now
for
a
while,
and
it's
not
just
improper,
but
it's
contrary
to
the
state
law
and
it's
contrary
to
the
city's
own
code
city.
C
D
C
D
You
thank
you
thank
you
very
much
and
so
again
just
to
not
not
put
words
in
your
mouth,
but
but
you
at
a
minimum
you're,
looking
for
at
least
some
clarification
or
a
concession
from
the
city
to
say
that
that
first
application
doesn't
have
any
bearing
on
the
second
application,
the
outcome
of
of
this
application.
D
A
D
C
D
D
Thank
you,
miss
lark.
Do
you
want
to?
I
assume
you
you'll,
respond
to
this
and
answer
that,
among
other
questions
or
issues
that
you'd
like
to
address.
F
F
It
is
helpful
to
here
today
that
perhaps
the
concern
that
reagan
has
is
the
the
letter
that
was
sent
with
regard
to
their
second
state
law
application.
Had
these
application
number
from
the
previous
one,
and
I
haven't
brought
to
my
attention
previously
and
perhaps
that
is
what's
causing
such
consternation.
I
don't
know
with
respect.
F
To
I
mean
we've
repeatedly
told
I
agree,
we
told
reagan
that
they
needed
to
file
an
application
saying
that
they
were
requesting
the
relocation
under
provisions
of
state
law
which
they
went
ahead
and
did
and
as
you
can
see,
from
the
materials
that
we
have
submitted,
we
are
processing
that
application
and
specifically
asked
reagan
for
some
information
to
be
able
to
process
their
application
and,
as
a
hearing
officer
may
recall,
we
kind
of
had
this
conversation
with.
F
It
was
mr
peterson
that
was
representing
reagan
at
the
time
and
he
was
asking
for
the
same
acknowledgement,
and
we
said
yes,
we're
processing
the
application.
We've
requested
information
from
you
waiting
for
the
information
to
come
back
and
he
kept
asking
for
more
affirmatives,
and
I
was
asking
what
the
concern
was
like.
What
are
you
concerned
about?
I
don't
understand,
and
it
would
have
been
helpful
at
that
point.
F
If
perhaps
it
had
been
brought
to
our
attention
that
they
were
concerned,
that
the
application
numbers
was
were
the
same
and
there
was
a
typographical
error
and
we'd
be
happy
to
address
that
for
him
at
that
time.
I
don't
know
what
class
that
we
can
say
where
we
are.
We
have
application
number
one
with
one
number
application
number
two
with
another
number,
where
we're
processing
application
number
two:
we've
requested
information
with
respect
to
application
number
two
and
we
haven't
received
it.
I
don't
know
what
else
I
could
I
mean.
F
D
F
D
Thank
you
I
I
don't.
I
don't
want
to
short
circuit
anything
here,
but
given
that
mr
strasberg.
D
Do
you
feel
like
we
need
to
move
forward
with
this
appeal
tonight,
given
the
city's
confirmation
that
this
has
no
bearing
on
the
processing
of
that
second
application.
C
Well,
I
mean
I
kind
of
heard
matt.
We
we
answer
man,
we've
all
heard
witnesses
testify
or
politicians
speak
in
a
way
that
doesn't
quite
answer
the
question.
I
didn't
really
hear
an
answer
to
the
actual
question,
because
my
concern
is
that
the
city
comes
back
and
says
we're
denying
the
second
application
on
the
basis
of
something
like
res
judicata,
something
like
estoppel,
some
sort
of
any
sort
of
legal
or
equitable
argument
that
isn't
actually
based
on
the
merits
of
our
application.
C
I
mean
just
so
we're
clear
just
so
we're
crystal
clear
here
the
application-
and
maybe
I
I
miss
I
I
I
may
have
misheard
something
you
said
and
didn't
clarify
it
earlier.
So
I
just
want
to
do
that
now,
if
that's
all
right
sure
the
application
that
reagan
originally
made
like
I
said
it
didn't
state
anything
on
it.
Reagan
notified
the
city
prior
to
their
prior
to
their
rejection
of
the
application
that
this
is
under
state
law.
C
So
so
they
had
that
knowledge,
and-
and
my
concern
is
that,
because
we
deal
with
with
all
sorts
of
defenses
that
actually
never
get
to
the
merits
of
our
application,
is
that
somehow
that's
going
to
preclude
consideration
of
the
second
application?
What
I
need
is
an
acknowledgement
that
nothing
in
the
first
application
will
be
used
as
a
basis
almost
like
as
to
deny
that
to
deny
the
second
application.
Almost
like
you
said.
The
other
thing
never
happened
right.
C
The
other
hearing
never
happened
and
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
it
didn't
because
I
wasn't
even
there
and
but
that's
what
we
need,
because
I
don't
want
to
now
have
to
deal
with
another
argument:
that's
not
on
the
merits
of
the
application
itself.
That
makes
sense.
Yeah.
D
Yeah,
so
again,
I
I
don't
want
us
to
talking
in
circles,
because
that's
what
I
thought
I
heard
the
city
acknowledge
is
that
this
each
application
is
is
heard
on
its
own
on
its
own
merits,
irrespective
of
the
outcome
of
tonight,
or
this
application
does
not
have
very
at
least
what
I'm
hearing
I-
and
I
want
miss,
miss
lark
to
to
confirm
this.
D
I,
what
I'm
hearing
is,
I
think,
that's
not
the
case
and
that's
not
how
the
city
is
going
to
proceed,
but
would
you
humor
us
miss,
slark
and
and
help
clarify
once
again,
your
understanding
of
how
that
is
is
going
to
proceed
with
respect
to
the
first
and
the
second
applications.
F
Yeah,
my
understanding
is
that
the
first
application
has
been
denied
because
we
considered
it
under
citico.
We've
received
a
second
application
and
we're
considering
it
under
the
provision
of
state
code,
and
I
think,
to
the
extent
that
mr
strasberg
is
stating
that
he
wants
like
wider
athena
affirmations,
and
I
think
mr
strasberg
and
I
have
been
in
a
lot
of
litigation
together
over
the
years
with
respect
to
billboards
and
we
have
received,
we
have
been
the
end
of
arguments
where
our
words
have
been
taken
out
of
context
and
distorted.
F
So
to
the
extent
that
I
think
the
city
is
careful,
what
it's
saying
it
is
because
of
that,
and
I'd
rather
not
turn
this
into
a
mudslinging
circumstance.
F
But
yes,
the
way
that
these
are
being
treated
is
application.
One
was
considered
to
see
if
it
complied
with
city
code,
it
was
denied
based
on
that
we
have
application
number
two.
We
are
considering
whether
it
complies
with
the
provisions
of
state
code
that
reagan's
identified
that
it's
requesting
us
to
consider
it
under
we've
asked
for
additional
information
from
reagan
to
be
able
to
process
the
application
we
asked
for
that
in
november,
and
we
still
haven't
received
it,
but
that
application
is
in
process
and
being
considered
under
state
code.
Okay,.
D
D
As
much
as
as
we're
gonna
gonna
get-
and
I
think
we
probably
ought
to
just
move
on
to
a
a
a
public
hearing
at
this
point
and
then
give
the
parties
any
any
final
words
just
so
we
can
move
forward
unless,
unless
that
response
from
ms
lark
is
enough
for
you
mistral
mr
strasberg,
to
be
comfortable
to
drop
this
appeal
at
this
stage.
But
again
we
can
go
through
and
hold
the
public
hearing
again,
I'm
not
trying
to
short
circuit
the
process
by
any
means.
D
Don't
don't
mistake,
my
I
just
don't
if,
if
we're,
I,
I
also
don't
want
to
have
spend
time
dealing
with
an
issue
that
maybe
doesn't
exist,
but
it
sounds
like
there's
a
lot
of
mistrust
between
the
parties,
so
we
may
have
to
anyway.
That's
okay.
D
So
so,
given
that,
let's,
let's
at
least
open
it
up
to
to
a
public
hearing
before
doing
so,
let
me
just
let
the
members
of
the
public
know
again.
It's
it's
helpful.
If
you
speak
to
it's,
it's
not
helpful
for
me
as
an
appeals
hearing
officer
to
tell
I
don't
I
don't
like
a
billboard.
I
don't
want
this
or
what
whatever,
if
you
can
speak
to
the
merits
of
of
of
the
case
that
helps
me
if
this
is
not
a
a
a
vote,
a
a
majority
vote
type
of
outcome.
D
This
is
application
of
of
of
law
and
to
the
extent
those
in
the
public
would
like
to
share
that.
That's
what
is
most
helpful
to
me.
You're
welcome
to
share
whatever
you'd
like.
I
would
like
to
limit
the
comments
to
two
minutes
per
person.
So
if
the
city
can
help
sort
of
monitor
that
timing
for
those
wishing
to
speak.
B
B
If
you
wish
to
speak,
please
click
that
hand
icon
and
I
will
see
I
see
ralph
becker-
would
like
to
make
a
comment.
Ralph,
I'm
going
to
unmute
you.
You
have
two
minutes.
A
Thank
you
I'll
make
this
very
brief.
Thank
you
matt,
mr
worthlin,
for
allowing
us
to
participate.
A
A
We
support
the
city's
position
on
this,
have
a
fairly
extensive
background
on
this
issue,
both
in
terms
of
the
law
and
in
terms
of
its
background
and
application
over
the
years
and
feel
that
the
city's
denial
is
both
well-founded
and
consistent
with
city
code
and
with
good
policy
for
the
city,
and
I
realize
you're,
making
a
determination
based
on
law
but
hope,
you'll,
consider
our
comments
that
we've
submitted
in
writing
and
I
think
they
cover
anything.
I
would
say.
B
Orally,
thank
you,
mr
becker.
If
you
could
please
lower
your
hand
and
matt,
I
don't
see
anybody
else
with
their
hand,
raised.
D
Okay,
mr
becker,
thank
you
and
recognizing
not
that
we're
not
seeing
or
hearing
any
others
wishing
to
speak.
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
bring
it
back
for
any
final
comments.
If,
if
any
from
mr
strasberg
and
miss
lark,
why
the
city?
Why
don't
you
go
first,
we'll
give
the
appellant
the
last
word.
D
Okay,
thank
you
very
much,
okay.
Well,
I
will
and
can't
let
me
just
say
I
I
I
I
recognize
some
of
the
frustrations
that
that
the
appellant
and
their
client
may
may
feel.
I
mean
given
the
how
this
is
proceeded.
You
know,
I
think
it's
it's.
D
It
certainly
recognized
that
you
know
whether
whether
it
be
the
the
typo
of
the
previous,
the
previous
application
in
in
the
appeal
and
how
all
that
came
about,
and
the
city
acknowledged
that,
but
when
it
when
it
does
come
down
to
this
issue,
I
I
I
I
am
persuaded
I
I
just
don't
have
any
way
of
getting
around
the
fact
that
the
the
the
appellant
by
its
own
admission,
asked
for
and
is
seeking
this
to
be
decided
under
state
law
that
I
it's
simply
beyond
my
authority
as
an
appeals
hearing
officer
as
much
as
I
would
love
to
get
into
the
merits.
D
I
I
just
haven't
seen
or
heard
anything
that
that
would
persuade
me
otherwise
than
the
plain
language
of
the
city
code,
which
is
where
I
received
my
authority
as
the
appeals
hearing
officer.
So
I
am
dismissing
this
appeal
simply
because
I
don't
have
have
that
authority
to
apply
state
law,
and
so
given
that
I
think
that
that,
with
respect
to
this
appeal,
it
would
seem
that
the
the
the
appellant
has
the
option
to
take
this
to
a
district
court.
And
and
again
I
apologize
for
the.
D
I
don't.
I
don't
apologize
because
I
wasn't
involved,
but
I
I
can
understand
the
frustrations
of
how
this
proceeded,
but
based
on
what
I
heard
that
it
sounds
like
the
the
second
application
specifically
applied
under
state
law
will
be
considered
as
that
second
application.
D
And
so
I
don't
think
that
that
dismissing
this
appeal
as
I've
done
will,
will
again
cause
any
issues
at
this
point
and
the
second
application
can
be
decided
by
the
city
under
state
law,
and
I
think
hopefully
this
will
send
a
clear
message
that,
because
it's
under
state
law
that
it
would
probably
be
a.
D
Not
telling
you
what
what
to
do,
but
I
I
think
you
probably
wouldn't
need
to
make
an
appeal
to
the
appeals
hearing
officer
if
the
outcome
of
that
second
application
and
I'm
not
trying
to
give
anybody
advice
so
I'll
just
stop
talking.
But
I
just
just
just
want
to
make
make
that
clear
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
So
if
we
could,
let's
move
on
to
the
second
issue
and
on
the
533,
what
the
south
400
west
on
regarding
raising
the
height
of
the
billboard-
and
this
is
a
pln-
a
pvp
2021.
E
They
are
represented
by
bradley
strasburg
salt
lake
city,
made
an
administrative
decision
to
deny
a
request
by
reagan,
outdoor
advertising
to
raise
the
height
of
an
existing
billboard
at
approximately
533
south
400
west.
This
appeal
is
related
to
an
administrative
decision
for
building
permit
bld
2021-07175.
C
This
appeal
actually
has
an
issue
that
sort
of
I
I
guess
would
go
to
the
your
your
your
subject
matter,
jurisdiction
of
this
before
we
even
get
to
the
merits.
C
The
city
made
a
made,
an
argument
that
you
know
the
appeal
authority
has
no
jurisdiction
over
state
law
decisions
and
regardless
of
the
merits
of
that,
in
looking
at
the
actual
decision
that
we're
talking
about
which
is
the
november
1st
2021
letter,
I
don't
see
that
as
a
final
decision,
the
you
may
know,
you
may
have
noted
that
the
letter
we
just
looked
at
in
the
previous
appeal
gives
the
the
acknowledgement
that
this
is
a
final
decision,
and
here
are
your
appeal
rights,
and
this
is
what
you
do.
C
None
of
that
is
contained
in
this
letter.
In
fact,
the
the
final
sentence
of
this
letter
is
almost
like
a
question.
You
know
a
remark
that
we'd
be
happy
to
consider
a
new
application
requesting
a
height
adjustment,
the
lower
the
height
of
the
sign.
So
there's
no
indication
in
the
letter,
as
there
should
be
that
this
is
actually
a
final
decision
or
that
we
have
a
right
to
appeal
it.
The
you
know
the
city
code,
21a
6240,
defines
an
administrative
decision
as
a
final
order.
C
Now,
obviously,
we
filed
this
appeal
right,
I
mean
we
filed
it
because
out
of
an
abundance
of
caution,
but
in
looking
at
the
actual
decision,
I'm
not
sure
that
it
is
a
final
decision
for
which
that
this
this
tribunal
can
review
and
this
sort
of
ties
into
the
city's
jurisdictional
argument.
C
If
there's
no
appeal
notice,
how
do
we
know
when
or
where
to
file
our
appeal?
You
know
they're
going
to
keep
making
this
argument
that
certain
decisions
need
to
be
appealed
to
one
place
and
then
other
decisions
need
to
go
somewhere
else,
but
we
don't
have
any
notice
of
that.
C
We
don't
know
we
need
to
know
when
and
where
to
appeal,
and
this
has
been
another
issue
that
we've
dealt
with
now
for
for
a
few
months,
based
on
all
the
denials
of
permit
requests
and,
frankly,
based
on
the
lack
of
final
decision
this.
We
think
this
should
be
remanded
back
to
the
city
to
actually
issue
a
final
decision
and
tell
us
where
to
appeal
and
when
the
time
we
have
because
they're
different
under
state
law
and
city
ordinance,
depending
on.
C
D
Can
interrupt
you?
Thank
you.
Just
a
question
did
the
city,
I
think
I
know
the
answer,
but
did
the
city
tell
you
then,
to
provide
any
kind
of
guidance
or
tell
reagan
to
appeal
to
this
to
the
appeals
hearing
officer?
Is
this
something
you
just
at
again?
I
think
I
heard
out
of
the
out
of
abundance
of
caution.
You
appealed
on
your
own
yeah,
or
was
there
any
city
guidance
given
to
you.
C
No
they're
there
to
my
knowledge
now
sam
may
have
a
document
I
don't
have.
But
to
my
knowledge
this
is
the
only
communication,
the
november
first
letter,
and
they
don't
tell
us
what
to
do.
They
don't
tell
us
that
it's
even
a
final
decision
and,
frankly
so
look.
I
don't
want
it
it's
difficult
to
get
into
the
whole.
I
understand
what
you
said
last
time.
The
the
city
ordinance
tells
you
you're
you're
not
supposed
to
make
decisions
based
on
state
law
right
you're
supposed
to
apply
city
ordinances,
but.
C
We
need
some
direction
here
and
frankly,
in
every
decision
made
by
the
city,
but
specifically
now
in
front
of
you
matt
this
decision,
we
need
direction
as
to
is
it
final,
because
if
it
is
a
clock
starts
running
and
is
it
and
it?
It
also
helps
us
now
determine
which
court
we
need
to
go
to
right
if
we
need
to
go
to
district
court
or
if
we
need
to
go
an
appeals
officer-
and
this
has
been
part
of
our
problem
too
right-
we
never
know
where
to
go
and
when
to
do
it.
C
So
we
have
to
do
things
out
of
an
abundance
of
caution
like
we
did
here,
but
yeah
I
mean,
I
think
in
this
case
it
would
be
very
appropriate
to
get
a
final
decision
from
the
city
stating
it's
a
final
order
and
telling
us
this
is
a
state
decision.
You
have.
You
know
this
much
time
to
go
to
the
district
court,
and
I
that
I
mean
look.
That's
due
process.
That
would
be
fairness
having
to
guess
every
time
is
not
that's
the
opposite
of
due
process.
C
That's
just
trickery
and
that's
what
we've
been
dealing
with,
but
in
this
specific
case
I
think
it's
pretty
clear.
It
doesn't
say
it's
a
final
decision.
It
doesn't
tell
us
when
to
appeal-
and
it
doesn't
tell
us
where
to
go
to
do
that
appeal.
C
Now,
just
on
the
issue
of
I
I
will
say
this
and
that
I
didn't
even
know
you
were
a
administrative
appeals
officer,
and
this
is
it's
nice
to
know
that
you
are
the
the
last
time
I
did.
This
was
before
craig
call
and
frankly,
he'd
been
doing
it.
I
think,
since
the
city
was
established,
and
but
he
he
was
denying
these.
C
These
arguments
on
the
administrative
tribunal
doesn't
have
jurisdiction
consistently
because
he
was
applying.
He
was
basically
saying
well,
look.
I
have
to
abide
by
utah
law.
The
city
has
to
abide
by
utah
law
and
109a.
104
prohibits
a
city
or
a
hearing
officer
from
imposing
requirements
that
conflict
with
state
law
and
even
the
city
code
still
requires
hearing
officers
to
reverse
if
a
decision
violates
state
law.
So
I'm
not
I'm
not
sure
that
you
know.
C
But
it's
the
confusion
of
the
whole
thing.
That's
that's
a
problem
for
us,
because
the
utah
code,
the
1098-701,
still
says
as
a
conditioned
precedent
to
judicial
review.
The
adverse
you
know,
diversely
affected
party,
has
to
timely
and
specifically
challenge
the
land,
use
authority's
land
use
decision,
and
so
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
do
that
right.
But
then
we
have
timing
requirements
for
bringing
it
to
the
state
court
and
we
don't
know
how
those
sort
of
work
together
or
opposing.
C
C
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
hear
the
merits
because
of
your
position
that
you
know
the
statement
you
made
in
the
last
appeal
about
the
not
you
know,
because,
because
this
is
a
state
law
case
for
sure
right
we're,
we
asked
to
raise
a
sign
pursuant
to
a
state
statute.
C
And
I
mean
it's
pretty
clear
that
we've
met
all
the
requirements
under
that
statute.
I
just
don't
know
whether
you
want
to
get
into
the
merits
of
the
argument.
D
Yeah
no
thank
you.
I
appreciate
it.
D
I'll,
certainly
let
you
know,
but
if
I
could
ask
miss
slark,
to
address
the
issues
raised
by
mr
strasberg
on
the
jurisdictional
issue.
That
would
be
help
helpful
and-
and
you
know
again
his
arguments
about
the
not
being
a
final
decision
and
guidance
on
where
and
how
to
do
an
appeal.
So
anyway,
that
would
be
helpful.
F
F
I
would
disagree
with
mr
strasberg's
summary
of
how
mr
paul
had
treated
these
arguments
in
the
past,
and
I
think
that
city
code
has
been
clarified
since
those
decisions
to
make
it
even
clearer
to
try
and
clear
up
this
confusion
and
with
respect
to
the
direction
of
utah
code
with
respect
to
how
appeals
are
to
be
brought
and
the
requirement
of
providing
an
appeal
procedure.
F
I
would
just
direct
the
hearing
officer
and
perhaps
mr
strasberg
to
utah
109a
in
the
700
series,
where
it
clearly
states
that
a
municipality
is
to
identify
which
type
of
cases
are
heard
by
its
hearing
officers
and
which
ones
are
to
go
directly
to
district
court,
so
contrary
to
and
sort
of
any
statements
that
it
is
contrary
to
utah
code
to
identify
that
state
law
provisions
go
to
the
district
court.
It's
actually
specifically
provided
for
in
in
the
700
series.
F
I
don't
remember
if
it's
701,
702
or
703
at
this
point
with
respect
to
whether
the
city's
letter
on
november
first
is
a
final
decision.
Unfortunately,
none
of
that
was
briefed
prior
to
coming
here
today.
F
So
I
can't
tell
you
exactly
if
that
was
the
only
thing
that
was
sent
out
that
day
or
if
other
information
was
sent
out
or
if
other
emails
have
been
sent
out,
and
so
I'm
sort
of
caught
a
little
flat-footed,
because
I
honestly
don't
know
you
know
the
purpose
of
an
appeal
and
finding
briefs
ahead
of
time
is
so
that
I
can
understand
what
the
arguments
are
and
what
the
concerns
are
and
so
that
we
can
collect
the
appropriate
information
and
address
them,
and
I'm
just
not
in
a
position
to
be
able
to
tell
you
if
anything
other
than
that
letter
has
gone
out.
F
With
respect
to
this,
I
can
certainly
tell
you
that
I
have
not
received.
I
personally
have
not
received
any
communications
from
reagan's
council
asking
me
if
it
was
a
final
decision
or
asking
for
clarification
if
it's
a
final
decision
or
asking
for
any
kind
of
position
or
where
an
appeal
would
need
to
be
found.
In
fact,
there's
been
zero
communication
other
than
receiving
the
appeal.
So
with
respect
to
that,
I
just
unfortunately
can't
address
at
this
point
the
question
with
regard
to
other
materials
going
out.
F
D
Okay:
okay,
thank
you
very
much
again,
just
just
to
be
complete.
I
think
we
should
still
open
it
up
for
a
public
hearing
again
at
this
point,
I'm
you.
D
That
has
anything
to
add
on
the
jurisdictional
issue
that
that's
helpful,
but
we'll
hear
anything
you
want
to
say
in
the
two-minute
time
frame
aubry
do
we
have
anybody
here
that
would
like
to
speak
and
I'll
open
up
the
public
hearing
for
them.
B
There
is
one
hand
up
and
it
is
ralph
becker
once
again
ralph
you
are
unmuted
and
you
have
two
minutes.
A
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
mr
worthland.
After
hearing
this
additional
case,
I
don't
think
I
stated
before,
but
I
am
the
chair
of
the
board
and
which
the
letter
that
was
sent
to
you
was
from
scenic
utah
that
was
sent
from
myself
and
the
executive
director
kate
kapiski.
A
We,
as
in
the
other
case,
I
realize
you're
you're
on
some
other
kinds
of
issues
here,
not
so
much
the
substance
of
the
case,
but
we
we
really
just
commented
on
the
substance
of
this
appeal
and,
like
the
other
case
before
you,
we
strongly
support
the
city's
position
on
this
and,
and
I
I've
got
to
say,
really
have
a
difficult
time,
even
understanding
how
the
the
the
appellant
has
been
damaged.
This
is
a
billboard.
That's
been
there
for
a
long
time.
There's
been
advertising
on
it.
A
Obviously,
if
those
purchasing
advertising
didn't
believe
there
was
any
value
in
that
billboard
because
their
views
were
obstructed,
they
wouldn't
be
using
the
billboard.
So,
in
addition
to
the,
I
think,
the
things
that
we
saw
from
from
the
city's
rationale-
it's
it
seems
like
an
odd
case
to
bring
after
a
billboard,
that's
been.
A
You
know
and
a
sign
that's
been
in
place
for
so
many
years.
A
I
I
this
is
a,
I
think,
a
billboard
as
well
that
we
see
is
having
many
adverse
impacts,
not
just
on
the
city
and
its
residents,
but
on
businesses
and
in
their
ability
to
develop
their
property.
I
just
want
to
note
that
at
the
time
thank
you.
B
Yes,
kate,
koscopisky.
G
Yeah,
thank
you.
It's
it's
ko
pishki
and
thanks
very
much
and
I'm
the
director
of
scenic
utah
as
ralph
just
mentioned,
and
I
think
I
would
just
add
that
mr
strasberg
is
using
words
like
confusion.
G
The
city's
playing
games,
trickery,
fairness
and
I
guess
I
would
just
say
that
those
are
exactly
the
tactics
that
industry's
been
using
to
you
know:
land
us
where
we
are
in
these
kinds
of
situations,
and
that
overriding
local
governments
is
is
a
strategy
and
outdoor
advertising
of
billboard
owners
are
the
only
type
of
business
that
can
move
their
property
for
any
reason
they
want
or
raise
the
height
for
any
reason
they
want.
G
And
if
a
city
denies
it
they
say,
then
you
have
to
buy
us
out
and
if
the
city
can't
buy
us
out,
then
we
get
to
go
wherever
we
want
and
it's
just
a
real
frustration
among
businesses
and
local
leaders,
and
I
think
you
know
the
tactics
that
you're,
accusing
the
city
of
are
the
ones
that
that
industry
uses
and
that's
a
frustration
so
that
just
want
to
weigh
in
with
that.
B
D
E
I
don't
see
any
other
hands
raised
if
anyone
else
wishes
to
speak.
If
you
can
raise
that
hand
in
the
lower
right
hand
corner
of
your
screen
and
we
can
unmute,
you,
maybe
we'll
give
it
just
a
second
okay.
D
So
seeing
no
other,
no
others
wishing
to
speak
I'll,
close
the
public
hearing
and
and
and
bring
it
back
again
for
any.
If
there's
any
final
word
from
the
city
that
hasn't
already
been
said,
miss
lark.
C
I
yeah
matt
thanks
that.
So
obviously
you
know
the
the
issue
of
this
subject
matter.
C
Jurisdiction
can
be
raised
at
any
time
by
any
party
and
that's
why
we
raise
it
now,
because,
after
review
of
the
documents
right,
there's
there's
no
dispute
that
the
only
letter
you
have
does
not
say
it's
a
final
decision
and
does
not
provide
like
the
notice
of
appeal
that
the
other
letter
provided
frankly,
it
seems
clear
that
if
the
city
had
such
a
letter,
they
would
have
provided
it
as
part
of
the
record
on
appeal
because
they
did
in
the
last
appeal.
C
There
is
no
such
letter
here,
and
so,
if
we
are
going
to
deal
strictly
with
state
statutes
and
direct
appeals
of
decisions
based
on
state
statutes,
we
need
a
final
decision
to
do
that.
C
We
need
a
final
decision.
We
need
something
that
says
this
is
our
final
decision
or
a
final
action
just
like.
I
said
in
the
last
one
and
and
informing
us
of
you
know
when
and
where
to
appeal
that
there
is
no
document
before
you
that
says
that,
and
and
we
need
that
to
go
forward
to
a
district
court.
C
Just
just
so,
I
have
it
on
the
record.
If
that's
okay,
yes,
please
the
the
the
bases
for
which
we
were
going
to
dispute.
The
the
actual
merits
were
very
plain
that
the
city
gave
four
reasons
for
its
denial,
the
first
of
which
has
apparently
been
abandoned
on
appeal
and
was
arbitrary
and
capricious
anyway,
and
the
second
of
which
that
the
statute
itself
was
enacted
to
deal
with
obstructions
relating
to
I-15
was
not
actually
part
of
the
statute
that
we're
talking
about.
C
And
it's
not
the
terms
of
that
statute
and
under
the
terms
of
the
statute,
we
clearly
are
entitled
to
relief.
The
the
city
came
up
with
a
new
argument
on
the
merits
in
its
briefing
about
that.
C
This
was
not
a
directional
sign
that
wasn't
part
of
the
reason
for
the
basis
for
denying
our
application,
but
so
we
don't
think
that
would
have
been
considered
or
considered
could
be
considered
on
appeal,
but
also
it's
just
flatly
wrong,
as
the
directional
sign
is
by
definition,
that
what
we're
dealing
with
is
a
directional
sign
based
on
the
definition
that
it's
containing
information
about
public
places
owned
or
operated
by,
for
instance,
the
state
and
that's
what
this
sign
was
doing.
C
And
the
last
thing
I
was
going
to
say
is
that
the
the
final
basis
for
denying
our
application
that
it
wasn't
obstructed
long
enough,
isn't
a
proper
denial
of
the
appeal
and
it's
contrary
to
the
statute,
which
basically
says
if
it's
blocked,
which
our
picture
that
we
submitted
clearly
shows
it's
entirely
blocked.
We
get
to
move
it,
and
so
we
don't.
We
believe
that
none
of
the
bases
that
provided
were
legitimate
and
each
of
them
were
either
illegal
or
arbitrary
and
capricious.
D
Very
much
bro.
I
appreciate
appreciate
your
time
so
again
as
as
much
as
I
would
prefer
to
make
a
decision
on
on
the
merits.
I
again
I
I
just
haven't
been
able
to
see
any
way
around
a
very
clear
statute
that
limits
my
authority,
which
is
different
than
a
zoning
administrator.
I
mean
a
zoning
administrator
is
not
specifically
prohibited
from
applying
state
law
or
hearing
this.
This
issue,
at
least
as
best
as
I
can
understand.
D
D
I
I
I'm
trying
to
I'll
save
you,
everyone,
the
the
the
issue
of
remanding
it
and
then
just
being
adding
a
sentence
and
being
told
you
can
go
appeal
to
the
district
court
by
my
decision
to
essentially
dismiss
the
appeal
because
of
lack
of
jurisdiction.
It
gets
you
to
the
same
place
that
that
I
think
you
can
that.
D
So
with
that
that
completes
the
the
matters
before
us
tonight
again,
I
appreciate
everyone's
participation,
both
the
appellant
and
representative
city,
representative
city
staff
and
and
members
of
the
public
who
have
participated
tonight,
and
that
concludes
our
our
hearing
tonight.
Thank
you
very
much.
