Dear Mr. Sadowski:
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 Code
Coordinator, when the situation arises, to help resolve conflicts
involving the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance.
This office has received reports regarding an electric fence on your
property, located E. 10909 Mallon Spokane County, parcel number
16542-1045. This property is zoned Agricultural -Suburban.
A recent visual inspection by our field inspector indicated, we
believe, that these reports are accurate. A wire connecting from a
box on the house and extending to a pole near a hedge on the east
property line was confirmed.
Section 4.17.045 of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance prohibits
electric fencing of any type within residential zone
classifications.
It is theintent 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 10 days, beginning with the date of this letter, should be
sufficient time in which to bring your property into compliance by
removing the wire from its power source.
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.

Your letter of November 21, 1985, addressed to Adolph Sadowski
has been referred to this office for response.
The fence in question was put in place to protect the
Sadowskis' hedge from the neighbor's dog and is designed to be
electrified. However, the fence is not electrified, a fact which
your field inspector could have determined during his inspection.
Also, the box on the house to which you refer is a part of the
burglar alarm system, and a closer inspection will show that the
wire in question does not enter that box.
If you have further questions regarding this matter, please
give me a call. Thanking you for this opportunity to be of
service, I am,

RE: Adolph Sadowski - East 10909 Mallon Road
Dear Mr. Herman:
Thank you for responding to the office on behalf of your client, Mr.
Sadowski, regarding an electric wire.
The position of this office in matters dealing with electrified
fences and devices is to encourage the non-use of such systems where
prohibited by county and state laws regulating their use. To that
end, if a system is designed and is capable of carrying an electric
current, whether or not electrified, would constitute a violation of
Section 4.17.045 of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance (copy
enclosed).
The statement that the wire in question "is designed to be
electrified" would in itself be a violation and, therefore, we would
ask that it either be removed, or be broken or apart from its entry
into the house.
Any assistance you can give in this matter would be appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING AND SAFETY
