He must have got them just after we were calling to check whether he had obtained permits. At any rate. whrn the Building Official and I inspected the property last week, he was ablc to produce the permits. In respect to lot covera�e zovng regulatiuns, Iv'.r. Rule' house and numerous sheds do not come close to exceeding the 40% maximum coverage permitted in the R-2, Single Family Medium L�ensity Residentiai Use Zone. Thus we get back to the old problems of junk vehicles and the accumulation ofjunk, vash, metal debris, vehicle parts, etc. which he has in open storage in pr'vnarily the rear yard of his property, although he had a fair sized pile in his from yard as well. He says the vehicles all �ua, he'll have to prove it to me, to make me a believer. 1 don't beGeve they are meant to be junk storage sheds, even if they do run, so they need to be cleaned up es well as the yards. With ihe exception of the construction debris from the romode6ng project, the remainder of the debris and junk nced to cleaned up immediately. If necessary we can abate the property, but it will be diflicult to do as we will need to do an inventory, as I'm sure Mr. Rulc knows the value of most of the materials in the rear yard and will dispute that any of it is " junk or trash. " Mother option [ am considering is to attempt to prove that his operation is a junkyard under the zoning code. Given some recent decisions we've had, the nuisance violation is much easier to prove, but it hasn't give us the lasting effect that the other option should. I thought I'd bring you up to date on this case, and how we are procceding. If you have any questions give me a call. ,.4. Hanson (;ompliance Officer CITY OF EVERETT 2930 Wetmore Avenue.
