CERTIFIED - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
The laws and regulations in our society are, at times, difficult to under-
stand 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.
A visual inspection has been conducted at your property, described on the
attached sheet, by our field inspector which indicates, we believe, that
your property is in violation of these ordinances. The attached data
sheet lists detailed information concerning this zoning violation.
We are of the opinion that since you have now been informed of the require-
ments of the Spokane County Zone Ordinance, a period of 30 days, beginning
with your receipt of this letter, should be sufficient time in which to
bring your property into compliance. Do not hesitate to act upon this im-
portant matter, since a violation of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance
is a misdemeanor and does carry a penalty. I am sure it is important to
you, as it is to me, that we resolve this situation quickly.
If you wish to discuss these findings or have any questions, please feel
free to contact me, at 456-3675.
Respectfully,
Mark Holman
Zoning Investigator
