Maupin, J.,
concurring:
I agree with the majority on the estoppel, ratification and waiver issues. However, the extent of damages sustained remains unresolved. On remand, the trial court should calculate damages based upon whether, for the entire term of the lease, its purpose was frustrated.
Obviously, the actions of the local authorities made the tenancy unsuitable for an adult business. Thus, the detrimental reliance on the actions of the respondents could only exist so long as an alternate tenant could not be obtained. I would therefore conclude that the purpose of the lease was frustrated, but only for the time frame between commencement of the lease and the date on which the premises was re-let.
