Hope all is well. =T am going to be out of town training in OTC from "7-10 thru 7-21 and unable to respond to the item SD-2 which deals with an appeal filed by myself on an order to abate code violations at my property at 51.5 Palms drive, Martinez, (unincorporated) . I had tried working out some time frame with Tyrone who noticed me, but he said it would be out of his hands so the only option I had was to appeal the order, which I did in timely fashion. Having no communication since, and working six days a week as well as being out of town for training April 16th through May 6th and again July 10th through the 21st, I have had very little time to work towards compliance, but HAVE made significant progress and I am in the process of organizing a Neighborhood Community Clean-up after I return so we can all come into compliance. Many of my neighbors also have been noticed on ' . ' code violations recently, with surprise and wonder as to why. we pze trying to come into compliance in a speedy timeframe, though it cannot happen overnight. I only learned of the Agenda date on Friday the 7th, the first opportunity I had to pick up the certified letter. I immediately went to the clerk of the Board's office to explain and was told they had not the power to change the date. 7bo' BuiIdiog inspection office was closed, (lst Friday) , Mike Silva is out of the office until Wednesday, and I cannot sufficiently prepare representation. I am respectfully requesting this item be moved to a time I am in town, 'noticed ahead of time enough to schedule a day off to attend, so Z can be prepared. In the meantime, I am working as fast as possible to come into compliance prior to any action being taken which would cause a great hardship. Below is comments I submitted online at the agenda website. I am the appellant and just received notice of the date this is on the Agenda on Friday 7�7-06 @ 4 : 15g.M. .
