SABERS, Justice
(concurring specially).
[¶ 30.] I concur with the majority opinion’s reversal because the permanent punitive injunction was too harsh. However, I would strongly urge this Court, especially in light of the prior history of this appeal, to provide guidance to the trial court concerning acceptable civil sanctions. Otherwise, this case may be back for a third time.
[¶ 31.] On remand, I would recommend that reasonable repairs and maintenance be allowed on the premises. To hold otherwise would be to condone waste on this structure. In fact, mandating waste on this structure until 2023 is punitive and contrary to the analysis of the majority opinion. At any rate, the majority opinion’s decision not to address reasonable repairs and maintenance should not be viewed as approval of the trial court’s decision in that respect, but just the opposite.
