2. Nature of Complaint: Due to the extremely high cyclone fence and 10 to 12 -ft.
high scrubs, both extending to the street, four near accidents have occurred.
There is absolutely no way to see traffic when leaving my driveway. I% feel
that if my vision is impaired by the fence and shrubs and an accident should
occur, the county has now been notified. If they, for some reason, do not
act the res..nsibilit should not be mine.

September 10, 1981 CERTIFIED -RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Mr. C. R. Overland
N. 1827 Felts Road
Spokane, WA 99206
Dear Mr. Overland:
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 the
situation arises, to help resolve conflicts involving the Spokane County
Zoning Ordinance.
This office has received reports regarding a four (4) and five (5) foot
fence located in the front yard of your property, located at N. 1827 Felts
Road, Spokane County, parcel number 08544-0301.
A recent visual inspection by our field inspector indicated, we believe,
that these reports are accurate.
Unfortunately, Section 4.17.040 of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance
stipulates that, "No fence over thirty-six (36) inches in height may be
erected within the required front yard of any lot used for residential
purposes." The required front yard setbacks for your property, located
in an Agricultural Suburban Zone is, "A minimum of 55 foot setback from
the centerline of all roadway right-of-way or 25 foot setback from the
existing property line; whichever provides the greater setback from the
centerline of the roadway right-of-way."
As an alternative to bringing your fence into compliance with the Spokane
County Zoning Ordinance, you can apply for a Waiver of Violation, which,
if granted might allow you to keep your fence at its present height in
its present location. Please contact the Spokane County Planning Depart-
ment for further information concerning this Waiver of Violation.
Page 2.
C. R. Overland
September 10, 1981
We are of the opinion that since you have now been informed of the require-
ments of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance, a period of 30 days, beginning
with your receipt of this letter, should be sufficient time in which to
either:
1. Bring your fence into compliance with ordinance requirements as discuss-
ed above; or
2. To contact the Spokane County Planning Department with regards to legal-
izing this fence through a Waiver of Violation, or other options as that
department might indicate, and taking the necessary steps as required by
that department in pursuit of these options in a timely fashion in order
that your fence be brought into compliance with ordinance requirements.
Do not hesitate to act upon this important matter, since a violation of the
Spokane County Zoning Ordinance is a misdemeanor and does carry a penalty.
If you wish to discuss these findings, have any questions, or believe these
allegations to be unfounded, please feel free to contact me at 456-3675.
Sincerely,Vjik
iLt"a#

CERTIFIED-RETUN RECEIPT REQUESTED
This letter is in regards to our conversations of October 13, 1981, and
your request for an extension of time in order to bring the fence locat-
ed in your front yard, located at N. 1827 Felts Road, Spokane County,
into compliance with zoning ordinance requirements.
In light of the activity on your behalf in seeking a resolution to this
matter, this office is willing to approve your request for a 30 day time
extension. By no means is this time extension to be construed as approv-
ing the fence as it currently stands.
As stated in our letter of September 10, 1981, Section 4.17.040 of the
Spokane County Zoning Ordinance stipulates that, "No fence over thirty-
six (36) inches in height may be erected within the required front yard
of any lot used for residential purposes." The required front yard set-
backs for your property, located in an Agricultural Suburban Zone is,
"A minimum of 55 foot setback from the centerline of all roadway right-
of-way or 25 foot setback from the existing property line; whichever
provides the greater setback from the centerline of the roadway right-
of-way."
As an alternative to bringing your fence into compliance with the Spokane
County Zoning Ordinance, you can apply for a Waiver of Violation, which,
if granted might allow you to keep your fence at its present height in
its present location.

variance "Not to exceed 1 foot." There are no fees involved with this admin-
istrative variance. Enclosed is a request form for an administrative variance.
Answer questions numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4, sign, date and return the form to this
office.
Should you have any questions regarding the above options, or what other options,
if any, might be available to you to rectify this situation, please contact Mr.
