As you move towards completion of your project the issue of occupancy arises
more frequently.
Dwain indicated that on December 12, 1996, you and he had conversation
about a temporary or conditional Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.) and what
would be required to obtain a temporary C.O.
On December 12, 1996, the issue was discussed by city staff at its Site Review
Development Committee meeting. The committee's decision was that a
temporary Certificate of Occupancy may be issued provided there are no life
safety matters and a financial guarantee is given that will insure completion of
the remaining work. The bond must be acceptable to the City and shall cover
all remaining work including, but not limited to, paving, landscaping, an
approach onto Highway 2 approved by the Montana Department of
Transportation and compliance with floodplain regulations.
I have heard that the Hampton Inn wishes to be open to the public by
December 20, 1996. In order to accommodate such an opening date, it is
essential that you submit your estimate of the cost to complete the outstanding
work, the date you anticipate the work will be completed and a financial
instrument that will guarantee your proposal.

I hope this clarifies the City's position and allows you a mechanism whereby
you can begin using your building now and complete the remaining work within
a certain time limit.
Dwain will be available to conduct remaining inspections. Please give at least
24 hours advance notice. Please call if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
