Heading: qualification of the trial court's order.

Text: The City next contends that it was error for the trial court to order that a building permit be granted without first qualifying its order upon compliance by Caffee with the applicable regulations and specifications contained in Homewood's Municipal Code. The City further asserts that, by virtue of the trial court's cryptic order, Caffee will not be required to pay the usual permit fees; and, in addition, Appellee will be in violation of a restrictive covenant contained in his deed requiring a 40-foot setback. (Appellee's initial plans provided for a 39-foot setback.) At the risk of also sounding cryptic, we believe we can satisfy the city's instant concern by observing that the scope of the trial court's order is limited to the issue presented and tried by the parties, i. e., the 65-foot width requirement. Necessarily, issuance of the permit under the trial court's order is conditioned upon Appellee's compliance with all the applicable regulations of the Homewood Municipal Code, other than the 65-foot width requirement found to be unconstitutional and unenforceable as against Mr. Caffee. We have carefully considered each of the remaining issues raised by the City and find them to be without merit. AFFIRMED. TORBERT, C. J., and MADDOX, SHORES and BEATTY, JJ., concur.
