INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMO
Date: July 13, 1995
To: Contra Costa County Supervisor Tom Torlakson, District 5
From: Building Inspection Department, Henry CO)bd Y`
Subject: Item SD.6 on the July 18, 1995 agenda for a request on behalf of Dennis
and Katherine Bennett to reconsider Resolution 95/305
The Building Inspection Department submits the following items for consideration of this request:
1. The recreational vehicle (travel trailer) has connections to the electrical service, water piping, and
sewer which do not have required building permits nor approvals. Such non-permitted work may
be substandard or contain hazards to health and safety.
2. If zoning ordinances were to change in the future to allow this use, utility connections presently
installed without required building permits and inspection approvals would still be in violation of our
building ordinance codes. Resolution 95/305 orders abatement of non-permitted utility equipment
as well as the recreational vehicles. Reconsidering the existing resolution may extend the time limits
in place for removing non-permitted electrical and plumbing construction which could be
substandard or hazardous.
3. Recreational vehicles on this property are portable in nature. The owner has stated they can be
readily disconnected and removed. The 45 day time limit issued during the June 27th hearing is
a reasonable (if not generous) amount of time for compliance. Forthcoming recommendations of
the local municipal advisory committee should not interfere with the time limit established for
clearing these violations of our county ordinance codes.

Res Request for Rehearing
Notice to Abate Nuisance - Dennis and Katherine Bennett
Bethel Island - Travel Trailer Original Hearing -
Tuesday, ,lune 27, 1995, 9:45 a.m.
Dear Clear of The Board of Supervisors:
Please let this letter serve as a request on behalf of Dennis
and Katherine Bennett for a Rehearing regarding the above
referenced matter. The Request for Rehearing is based upon the
fact that the Bethel Island Municipal Advisory Council has
scheduled a hearing on July 10, 1995 wherein it is expected that
a recommendation will be made to the Board of Supervisors to amend
its ordinance regarding recreational, vehicles on Bethel Island.
If the Municipal Advisory Council makes such a recommendation as
is expected, and if the Board of Supervisors acts favorably upon
such a request, then it would be inequitable to require Mr. & Mrs.
Bennett to remove their travel trailer at the end of the forty five
(45 ) day period originally given for compliance.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Very truly yours,
