1214 HOYT AVE 2016-01-01 MF Import

' � �✓� • T0: Jim I1es , FROM: Marian Dent �j�� DATE: December 13, 1984 SUBJECT: Illegal duplex at 1214 Hoyt I recently received a complaint of an illegal duplex at 1214 Hoyt. The complair,ant is Mr. Howard Maier who owns property next door to 1214 anG has indicated a problem with park9ny in the area because of the multiple family usage of the duplex. I started to research the problem and talked with Pearl in Planning. Their records do not show a conversion from single family to a duplex. The zoning in the area is R-2 but all the other require- ments pertaining to lot size and parking stalis cannot be met. I checked with the Utiliry Billing Department and their• records indicate thet there is a metered service at this address. A flat rate service is for single family dwellings and a metered service is for multi-family dwel' ing pur�oses. Apparently the service was change�i in 1981 . I checked our files and found nothing for a conversion of the building. However, I did find where an electrical permit and a building permit were issued by our deoartment for "repair and remodel of existing duplex" . I researched the County Assessor's records and all revaluations from 1973 to February 1984 indicate that the structure is a single family dwelling. I have talked with Mr. Maier and advised him that all indicatior,s were tnat this was an illegal duplex. Pearl in Planning asked that I send a letter to the owner stating that the structure r�ust be converted back to a single family dwelling. I told Pearl I would rather have our Legal Staff handle this situation. Aside from all this, the ownership was confusing on the Assessor's records. I'll attempt to explain what was found. In the Assessor's field book, the name of Carol Hill is crossed out and Richard Arkley is written in. This is what the Assessor's Office does when a change in ownership has taken place on the property. Also, "Sales Data" on the same page indicates that there was a Quit Claim Deed processed on 8/3/82.
