Dear Mr. 6ergland:
Spokane County
Department of Building & Safety
JAMES L. MANSON, DIRECTOR
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 storage of inoperable
vehicles and/or hulks on your property located at North 1018 Fox
Road, Spokane County parcel number 16541-0752. This property is
zoned Agricultural -Suburban.
A recent visual inspection by our field inspector indicated, we
believe, that these reports are accurate.
Section 4.03.020(32A) of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance defines
inoperable vehicles as follows:
"Junk or Parts Vehicles" shall mean the remnants or remains of a
motorized or non -motorized device capable of being moved upon a
public highway and in, upon, or by which any person or property
i s or may be transported or drawn upon a pub 1 i c hi ghway and whi ch
i s i noperati ve. Such term shal 1 i ncl ude, but not be 1 imi ted to
vehicle hulks, trailers, semi -trailers, tractors, motorcycles,
trucks, and buses."
Section 4.17.170 requires that storage of inoperable vehicles or
parts thereof shall be in accordance with the following provisions:
1. No "Junk or Parts Vehicles" may be stored within the front,
flanking street, or side yard setback area; and
2. All "Junk or Parts Vehicles" must be completely sight -
screened year r� om a non -elevated view, by a fence,
hedge, shrubs or (maintained landscaped berm) (natural
landscaped berm).
It is the intent of this letter to advise you of an apparent zoning
violation and to request compliance within a suitable time frame.

Accordingly, we are of the opinion that since you have now been
informed of the requirements of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance,
a period of 30 days, beginning with the date of this letter, should be
sufficient time in which to bring your property into compliance by
either removing all inoperable vehicles and parts from the property
or by screening the vehicles from view as required in Section
4.17.170 noted above.
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 the above mentioned time frame is insufficient, please contact
this office within 7 days in order that an equitable time frame might
be established in whi ch y our property w i 11 be brought into compliance
with the ordinance requirements.
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 yours,
DEPARTME T OF/BUILDING AND SAFETY
