From the transcript
It's a chicken and the egg issue. Um, we would issue a conditional use permit with nothing there, and it would require this stuff to be done before they can get the final permit. It's a conditional use, and they jumped the gun by building a building without water and sewer. Um, it's one of those things, if I was going to do this, I really would need this permit prior to know I can do it. Um, there's no sense in going ahead and cooking up— going to the effort right now of putting in the water and sewer if we're not going to approve a permit for it.
