MANSON, DIRECTOR February 15, 1985 Monroe & Smart City Federal Savings & Loan 23 Belmont Drive Somerset, NJ 08873 Dear Sirs: 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 E. 11302 Broadway Spokane County, parcel number 16543-0104. 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 be 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).

WASHINGTON 99260.0050 TELEPHONE (509) 456-3675 Monroe & Smart 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 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 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.

MANSON, DIRECTOR March 25, 1985 Mr. Mike Monroe E. 11302 Broadway Spokane, WA 99206 Dear Mr. Monroe: On February 15, 1985, this office sent a notice of zoning violation to the listed owner of property located at E. 11302 Broadway, Spokane County parcel number 16543-0104. The name on our records were Monroe & Smart. Recently, it was learned that you are the property owner and therefore may have not received the notice. The zoning violation consists of the storage of inoperable vehicles and/or hulks. 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- screenedyear-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 20 days, beginning with the date of this letter, should be sufficient time in which to bring your property into compliance by removing all inoperable vehicles and parts from the property or by screening the vehicles from view as requested above. 2 NORTH 811 JEFFERSON • SPOKANE, WASHINGTON 99260.0050 • TELEPHONE (509) 456-3675 Mr. Mike Monroe March 25, 1985 Second Page 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.

MANSON, DIRECTOR May 17, 1985 Mr. Mike Monroe E. 11302 Broadway Spokane, WA 99206 Dear Mr. Monroe: It has been some time now since we last contacted you regarding the storage of inoperable vehicles on your property, located at E. 11302 Broadway, Spokane County, parcel number 16543-0104. A recent visual inspection by our field inspector indicates that inoperable vehicles are still being stored openly and in violation of Section 4.17.170 of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance. As stated in our letter of March 25, 1985, you were given 30 days to either remove all inoperable vehicles and parts from the property or to screen the vehicles from view. Due to the length of time this matter has been pending, we are of the opinion that a period of 14 days, beginning with your receipt of this letter, should be a sufficient extension of time for you to complete the process of bringing your property into compliance with the requirements of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance. If these matters are not taken care of within the previously mentioned 14 days, we will be unable to grant any further extensions of time and will have no choice but to forward this case to the Spokane County Prosecuting Attorney's Office for appropriate legal action without further notice. A violation of the Spokane County Zoning Ordinance is a criminal offense and does carry a penalty of, "... imprisonment in the County Jail for a maximum term fixed by the court of not more than ninety (90) days or by a fine in an amount fixed by the court of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), or both such imprisonment and fine."
