DATE: April 26, 1988 Cougy
SUBJECT: DIRECT STAFF TO PROCEED WITH CRIMINAL ACTION ON ZONING VIOLATION
IN THE VICINITY OF VIRGINIA LANE, OAKELY AREA
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Direct County Counsel and Community
Development staff to proceed immediately with criminal actions on
a zoning violation by John W. Ford of County Ordinance § 84-38 (APN#
018-040-026) .
Furthermore, direct the Grading Department of Building
Inspection to do everything in its power under the existing grading
ordinance and permit to require corrective action for the sand and
wind damage that was a result of the grading that was done to
construct the barn. Such corrective action includes the immediate
planting of trees and building a fence to reduce the new effects of
the recent grading. Grading inspectors should monitor to ensure
watering continue regularly until such time as the larger fields of
sand are appropriately landscaped or some other method is found to
reduce the problems to the neighbor' s property.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Nearly one year ago, Virginia Lane
residents complained to the county that construction equipment and
materials were being illegally stored and maintained by the Fords in
an area zoned A-2 general agricultural district. I have continually
expressed my frustration at the length of time it takes to resolve
code enforcement matters. It takes an unacceptable length of time to
remedy these problem situations.
A few months ago, in a meeting with the Fords, their
attorney, and the Zoning Investigator, I was assured by the Fords they
were not conducting a contractor business. Since then, the county has
found evidence to the contrary. Futhermore, I have toured the area
and met with complaining neighbors about the situation. I feel
strongly that criminal proceedings begin immediately.
