Attorney Larson's opinion of the lease between Mr. Cross and
Mr. Arvidson on the property identified by PID# 34-117-23-22-0002
and 34-117-23-22-0003 does not give Mr. Cross exclusive control
over the properties because of the two (2) docks that presently
exist on the property and the right of Arvidson to build a house
on this property if the city zoning ordinance ever allows one
to be built.
The City should approve the dock application for 125 docks, due

application along with a letter from the City declining the
