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 N. 1618 Locust Spokane County, parcel number 08543-0443. 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 is or may be transported or drawn upon a public highway and which is inoperative. Such term shall include, but not be limited 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 he stored within the front, flanking street, or side yard setback area; and 2. All "Junk or Parts Vehicles" must be completely sight- screenedyear-round, from a non -elevated view, by a fence, hedge, shrubs or (maintained landscaped berm) (natural landscaped berm).

Ebel February 15, 1985 Second Page 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 day43 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 which your property will 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.

Ebel N. 1618 Locust Spokane, WA 992121* Spokane County department of building & safety JAMES L. MANSON. DIRECTOR Re: Storage of Junk or Parts Vehicles, Resolution No. 84 0550 Dear Property Owner: 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. On July 3, 1984, the Board of County Commissioners passed and adopted by an ordinance addressing the storage of Junk or Parts Vehicles. The intent of this ordinance amendment is not to limit the number of vehicles being stored but rather to provide standards to assure that such storage does not infringe upon the rights of neighboring property owners to have peaceful enjoyment of their properties. This ordinance does not allow for the repairing and or dismantling of vehicles for commercial purposes. Enclosed please find a copy of the ordinance provisions. In order to allow adequate time for proper notification to property owners who are storing vehicles, and to encourage compliance, the Board established January 7, 1985, as the effective date for enforcement. It is the intent of this letter to advise you that the vehicle (s) currently being stored on property under your ownership will be required to be brought into compliance with the enclosed provision by the effective date of January 7, 1985. Your cooperation will be appreciated. If you wish to discuss this amendment, or have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 456-3675. Sincerely, DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING AND SAFETY Thomas L.
