Commissioner still seeks permit

Fifty-two days after being notified by Kootenai County that he needs to apply for a building permit for the home he’s been living in since 2006, county Commissioner David Stewart remains working on the application to come into compliance. Stewart does not have a proper building permit and occupancy certificate for his Coeur d’Alene-area home that was permitted as a pole building. … Callahan, the county’s community development director, said the county would have normally recorded the violation by now, but that step has been delayed with Stewart on vacation. “Consequently, we will refrain from recording the notice until June 30,” Callahan wrote in an email to Stewart last week/ Brian Walker , Coeur d’Alene Press.
