SUBJECT: Land Use Violations, Walnut Creek Area
Ms. Antoinette Cochrane, 1790 Magnolia Way, Walnut Creek
94595, appeared before the Board this day and- urged the Board to
take appropriate action to stop Mr. Charles Lemonnier, 1780 Magnolia
Way, Walnut Creek 94595, from operating a commercial business from
his home in a residential area where zoning provisions preclude such
activity. It was noted that Mr. Lemonnier constructs gazebos, lawn
swings, etc. , as well as marketing said structures from his residence.
Ms. Cochrane advised that the area is being impacted by increased
traffic, particularly the commercial activity of trucks delivering
supplies to Mr. Lemonnier. She noted that complaints were filed by
neighbors on this business activity within a four year period, and
inquired as to why it has taken so long to stop an apparent violation
to the County' s zoning ordinance.
Victor Westman, County Counsel, advised that a criminal
complaint was filed against Mr. Lemonnier and commented on certain
actions that could be initiated to require Mr . Lemonnier to comply
with Ordinance code provisions.
Following discussion by Board members, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
1) The Director of Planning is REQUESTED to conduct a
site investigation relative to continued land use violations and
report to the Board on June 19, 1984; and
2) County Counsel is REQUESTED to draft and send a letter
to Mr. Lemonnier advising that the County will be initiating further
appropriate legal actions to enforce its ordinance if violations
continue.
1 hereby certify that this Is a true and correct copy of
an action taken and entered on the minutes of the
Board of Supervisors on the date shown.
