Mr. Autry replied that site plan approval was given to Mr. Parris on both projects, and Mr. Autry's firm applied for the permit. They went through regular procedures and were reviewed by the Building Department, and they acquired the permits through the regular avenues. Director Rymer asked if they submitted their application for two buildings on one site and one owner, and Mr. Autry confirmed that they did. Director Rymer noted that Mr. Autry made the comment that he built the buildings but did not want to get into the engineering or the water table, etc. She believed, as a general contractor, he did review all the engineering drawings, the engineering reports on soil, etc., before he began his building. Mr. Autry stated that he worked directly with Engineer Harlan Peterson to see if the elevations were adequate, and the water table was taken into consideration. He again emphasized that he is not an architect or engineer; he can look at the plans and can question whether the elevation is normal in relation to the road, but he cannot make them change it. Building Director Rymer asked if Mr. Autry did not work with Engineer Peterson from the beginning, and Mr. Autry confirmed that he did. Director Rymer then asked if Mr. Autry had questioned the - soil reports or engineering, and Mr. Autry stated that the site did have to be demucked and that was done; the fill was replaced and made stable; and tests were done. He could not answer for the engineer. Director Rymer asked if it was Mr. Autry's understanding when starting the project, that he was building it as one building with tenant separations - really two buildings but under one roof structure with tenant separation only. Mr. Autry did not know the way they had it worded, but he did know it was two separate buildings with separate tenants. 55 Bou 6 jrg-C 296
