Date: , October 16, 199E0 MATTER OF RECORD
-----------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------- --------P--P------------------
The Chair convened the hearingon the proposed abatement of a
geodesic .structure at 1256 Taylor Road, Bethel Island, owned by
Jaci and Jeff Nielsen.
William Martindale of the Building Inspection Department
advised that the subje1ct structure was illegally constructed
approximately 10 year,,
ago by the previous owner of the property.
He explained that he was unable to locate in his Department' s
files documentation showing that a building permit had been issued
for the structure. He' noted that: the lower portion of the
structure is on or below a flood plane and therefore any
improvements to .the lower level cannot be habitated.
Jaci Nielsen, P.O. Box 66, Byron 94514, advised that she
would not• have any problem with removing the geodesic structure
since at this time it 'did not appear feasible to bring it up to ,
code requirements. However, she expressed concern that the
County' s Flood Control -ordinance was not being applied equally to
Bethel Island property owners and specifically those who are in
the process of makingiimprovement:s to their property. She
expressed concern that plans submitted to the Building Inspection
Department on application of .permit reflect storage or studio
designation for those areas of a structure on or below the flood
plane, but that in reality will be used for bedrooms once the
final inspection has been made.
Supervisor Torlak,�son spoke of the many -meetings he has
participated in on code violations in the Bethel Island area
including flood plane hazardous conditions. He advised of
proposals under consideration to address these violations which
include a reinspection fee of the structure at some later time,
and a' land .use permit overlay for- storage below a flood plain.
Board members commented on possible improvements to the
structure to allow the current owners to comply with code
requirements 'as opposed to removing the structure.
Mr. Martindale advised that the owners of the property have
up .to 30 days to bring in documentation for improving the
structure prior to they execution of the abatement order. He
agreed to report in 30 days- on the disposition of the structure.
At the conclusion of the discussion .on this matter, the Board
then proceeded to adopt Resolution 90/695.
