Dear Mr. Vandenberg:
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 the storage of inoperable
vehicles on your property located at East 18000 Indiana Avenue,
Spokane County parcel number 07554-1245. This property is zoned
Agricultural.
A recent visual inspection by our field inspector indicated, we
believe, that these reports are accurate.
Section 4.04.140 of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance prohibits
commercial auto repair.
Section 4.03.020(32A) of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance defines
inoperable vehicles as follows:
"Junk or Parts Vehicles" shall mean the remants 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 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-round, from 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 thirty (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 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 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. weekdays.
Sincerely yours,
DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING AND SAFETY

RE: Storage of Inoperable Vehicles - East 18000 Indiana Avenue
Dear Mr. Vandenberg:
It has been some time now since we last contacted you regarding the
storage of inoperable vehicles on your property located at East 18000
Indiana Avenue, Spokane County parcel number 07554-1245.
A recent visual inspection by our field inspector indicates, we
believe, that no action has been initiated to screen the vehicles or
remove them from the property.
As stated in our letter of October 23, 1985, you were given thirty
(30) days in which to take corrective action. We appreciated your
contacting this office on October 29, 1985 to explain the
circumstances.
The intent of this letter is to remind you of the requirements of the
Spokane County Zoning Ordinance relating to the storage of
inoperable vehicles and to encourage corrective action. An
additional thirty (30) days is being extended in order to allow you
sufficient time to comply with the Ordinance. Your compliance will
negate the need for further action on this matter.
Should you have any questions, please call.
Sincerely yours,
DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING AND SAFETY
