MEMO ' T0: COUNCILMAN GIPSON FROMs MARIAN DENT, HOUSIN� INSPECTOR DATE: SEPTEMBER 15, 1992 � SUBJ : PROPERTY ON PECKS DR. g' �2� P� '� I talked with the complainant the fiirst time you calle� with this situation. � This is a civil matter and the city can ' t legally perform code enforcement of ary type. I did talk with the complainant and indicated to her that as a property owner she had her rights. I advised her that i1 her neighbor went onto her property and installed a fence on her property that she did not want or the fAnce would eventually cause her to loose property because cf it being placed so far inside her property line, she had a right to remove the fence and put it in her neighbors yard. I told her that if it were me and my neighbor placed a tence on my property , I would write him a letter requesting him to remove the fence fram my property within two weeks and if he failed to remove the fence, I would have it removed. I told her that if she wrote a letter to the neighbor, it should ga via certified mail return receipt requested and to keep copy of the letter for her records and attach the green receipt when it comes back to her. The complainant called again today and reqi.ested something in writing from me to back her ua on this. I P�plained once again that I could not do that as a city employee as this matter was not covered by any cod= within the city . I e�plained that the I was trying to help her �s a friend and not as a city employee, and that if this were my property how I would handle the situation with a letter. I told her that the State Laws ( the RCW) would be the codes that would help her in this matter and that she migtit fiind out more information from the State Atty . General ' s Otfice which is located here in Everett. Obviously , her attorney isn ' t helping her and she is reluctant to go to another attorney . I don" t think I could help here much any more except to � listen to her problem. I don ' t know if I helped her or hindered a resolution to the problem.
