No. 73 of 1999
(Providing for Waiver of Building Permit and

WHEREAS, Salt Lake City Ordinances currently require the payment of a

dangers; and
WHEREAS, the City has an interest in facilitating the repair and
reconstruction of such damaged buildings as soon as possible to protect against
further loss and damage to the citizens of Salt Lake City and their property,
without adding to the costs of such repairs.
