Dave Nutting, Big Bear Chevron and Attorney Stephen Herzog were present.
Mr. Nutting was told there are several items he needs to address in order to continue work on the
project: SEE ATTACHED COPY OF CARY'S ORDER OF WHAT HAS HAPPEN.
1. To present a set of documents to the Building Department addressing the
structural analysis of the canopy.
2. A set of documents addressing lot lay out and the general concerns as requested
by the Design Review Committee.
3. A set of documents addressing the lay out and design of the underground fuel
lines and extension and relocation of the fuel pumps.
4. Big Bear Chevron will be required to purchase a new permit, it will be
based on the overall cost of the project. The initial minimal permit fee was not
adequate for what they are actually doing.

on August It, 1998, at 11:00 a.m.
July 21, 1998
RE: Meeting Big Bear Construction Project.
Attended by; Dave Nutting, Mary Christensen, James Day, Gerd Dixon,
Eric King, Ray Griffin, Cary Campbell. Larry Kohntopp and Steve
Smart Attended part of the meeting.
Due to lack of design information, Cary reissued the stop work
order to James Day on the Big Bear project that was apparently
lifted by the design review committee. From this meeting it
appeared that the design review committee on July 10`", had given
Big Bear the OK to continue the erection of the fuel island canopy
in the relocated area, for which the original stop work order had
been issued. At this time a building permit has not been issued
for the relocation of the canopy nor has one been issued for the
relocation of the fuel pumps, islands or the underground fuel
lines.
Cary told James that the permit had not been issued for the
relocation of a canopy but to replace the existing canopy. It was
also issued based on the design documents being sealed by a design
professional. He also said that he believed the permit had been
issued based on misinformation. At this time the sealed set of
documents have not been received by the building department.
(During a break in this meeting James left and upon his return
reported that the sealed information on the canopy was being Fed.
Exed. today.) Eric said he had mentioned to James on an earlier
occasion, when James apparently had been doing a job at the K & B
store that he needed to contact Cary at city hall to discuss the
requirements for the changing of fuel lines. This contact was not
made.
Based on the requirements of the earlier Design Review meeting a
scaled set of documents were to be presented to the Design Review
Committee detailing the information requested by them. The lot lay
out plans were to include, green areas, onsite water and fuel spill
containment as well as the location of the gas lines. This
information has not been presented for the committee's review at
this time. Mr. Nutting was also reminded he was asked to have some
sort of documentation from the Idaho Transportation Department and
the Chevron company stating they felt comfortable with their areas
of authority.
Dave and James were told there were several items they needed to
address in order to continue to work. The first was to have a
sealed set of documents to the building department addressing the
structural analysis of the canopy. The second was for a set of
documents addressing lot lay out and the general concerns as
requested by the design review committee. The third was a sealed
set of documents addressing the lay out and design of the
underground fuel lines and extension and relocation of the fuel
pumps. The fourth item was to have a date by which the three
foregoing requirements were to be in to the city. (That date has
now been determined by their design professional, Steve Wallace,
Architect, to be July 29,1998.) They were told when that date
(July 29th) date was determined they would be allowed to proceed.
They were also told they could not permanently cover any of the
work they had done until it was inspected and approved by city
staff and Big Bear's design professional. If all of the foregoing
information has not been received by the city by July 29, their
work will be stopped and they may not resume construction until the
we have received it and it has all been approved and permitted. If
the information has been received by July 29, or before it will
investigated by those who are responsible for its approval. When
approved, the necessary building and fire permits will be issued
and the construction documentation will take place.
72398 Jim Day hand delivered the sealed design calculations to the
building department on July 23 e 1130 hours. (cec)
72498 Dave came into the office to discuss his project. We spoke
about the need to eliminate as many access onto the highway as
possible. Discussion included the possibility of Mr. Nutting
sharing his northern access with the Oxbow for their access to the
west of his building. Required parking and it's So green area were
discussed. I told him it is my believe that the 5t was based on
the required parking for the building and its access to and from
the public way. We also talked about green areas in general and
how they related to the runoff retention, and how the green area
and the water retention areas could be one in the same.
72798 Talked to Steve Wallace about a meeting which will be at 1600
in his office with those concerned about this project so that we
may try to get something acceptable for the design review
committee. Also called Roy Frisk about the electrical on the job,
he said he had checked some of the preliminary work but has not
made a final inspection.
72798 Jim Day came in and said Dave Nutting had received a letter
from the designer that he would not approve the project without
seeing what was covered up. He wanted me to approve it anyhow. I
told him he would have to satisfy the designer and if that meant
that he would have to cut concrete to expose the work he would have
to do so.
The Building Department is served by nationally certified
inspectors. In addition to the 1996 edition of the National
Electrical Code and the CABO/ANSI A117.1-1992 Accessability Code

Hand Delivered
It is my understanding that the City has been provided with a copy of a letter
from Chevron dated July 29, 1998 regarding Chevron's general approval of the present
layout of Big Bear Chevron. It is also my understanding that the City, after reviewing
the letter, has taken the position that the City, in spite of the letter, is not willing to
approve the location of the pump island.
It would be of great benefit to my client if the City could spell out what, if
anything, Big Bear can do at this point ---short of moving the island ---that would
persuade the City into approving the pump island location. Mr. Nutting suggested that
he would be willing to install signs on the island stating something to the effect that:
"trailers over 28' are prohibited at this pump island". If the City is interested in
following through with this idea, we can discuss the size, location, and style of the sign.
I was under the impression, after the meeting with the design review committee
on July 28, that after receiving the letter from Chevron, the City would be inclined to
approve the island location. My intention at this point is not to force the City to make
the decision to either reject or accept the island location. My client just needs to know if
there is anything more he can do to convince the City that it should permit the island to
remain in its present location.
Finally, I have enclosed a photograph that was taken at Big Bear yesterday by
Mary Christensen. The trailer in the photograph is 33' long, according to
Mr. Christensen. Please note that the trailer, even with its lengthy load, does not obstruct
the sidewalk OR street. Looking at the photograph, it seems to me that the risk of
vehicles with trailers blocking traffic, and the corresponding risk of liability, is remote.
