MR" County ('ommissioners Office W. 1116 Broadway Spokane, WA Dear Sirs: RECEIVED DEC 08 COUNTY COMMISSIONERS C' r17 Ls-:: i! 3 UD Approximately three weeks ago, there was an accident at N. 924 Bowman, Spokane Washington. An automobile hit a 4 year old boy, who was riding down the alley just behind the 9211 address. The boy could not be seen co -ling down the alleybecause of a 6 ft. wooden fence at N. 9211 Bowman st. Fortunately the little boy was not hurt very bad, but could have been killed. This alley is used every day by cyclists and cars and it is totally a "blind alley" I know that this 6 ft. fence is illigal by county rules, but never complained before this incident. As there are many small children riding this alley on bikes, T think it should have to come down to 4 ft. so people can see them coming down the alley. The driver of the car that hit the boy was going slow and that is the only F\eason the boy was not killed. The driver did not get a citation, as the State Patrolman could see -that no one could see up the alley because of the 6ft. wooden fence. I am enclosing pictures taken at the scene of the accident. The property belongs to Jody Powell, N. 924 Bowman, Spokane WA 99212, Phone 922-8182. We 8-11 would appreciate it if you could get her to lower her fence at the alley to 4 ft. Thank you. A CONCERNED NEIGHBOR P.S. The little boy was riding a bike down the alley when he flew out in front of the car. I am enclosing pictures of the scene of the accident. You can see the little red bike. The little boy was pretty badly scratched up and had a cut face and knees. The accident was investigated by the State Patro), and an accident report made by the driver of the car, Tammy Parker, at the State Patrol office the same day. Just thank God that the boy wasn't killed outright. Laws and regulations in our society are, at times, difficult to understand and fully comprehend. This is true of zoning ordinances, which are laws intended to protect and govern the many different uses of land in Spokane County. It is my responsibility, as the Zoning Investigator, when `.he situation arises, to help resolve conflicts involving the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance./ This office has received reports regarding �; rIC� .e y( «�i�� (�) /�/ n) /�,��// on your property, located at/oin X,2/ , Spokane County, parcel number s / - //// • A recent visual inspection by our field inspector indicated,--4e4-4-eve, that these reports are 4-0-e-ss4b } accurate.

Interpretation of this section of the ordinance by the Spokane County Planning Department states that, '...a vehicle must be considered either usable or in storage. If a vehicle is to be considered usable, it must be licensed and operable. If both of these characteristics are not present, the vehicle is not usable andtherefore, is classified as storage. Vehicle storage in resi- dential areas shall be screened or enclosed so as to obscure view from public rights-of-way and/or adjacent property." (emphasis added) 7 Section 4.03.020(9) of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance defines an auto wrecking yard/junk yard as, ...an open area where waste, used or second hand materials are bought, sold, exchanged, stored, baled, packed, disassem- bled, or handled, including but not limited to scrap iron and other metals, paper, rags, rubber tires, and bottles. A 'junk yard' includes an auto wrecking yard, but does not include uses established entirely within an enclosed building."
