limousine use is an allowed use in an OCR district. He added that he regularly signs home <br />occupation permits for a limousine use. It is an allowable use. A limousine can be kept in <br />a driveway in a single-family residential district. <br />Director Keating spoke at length about characteristics in code enforcement. He also <br />spoke about replacement of mobile homes and the decision on replacement of a particular <br />mobile home on the Jordan property. <br />Environmental Planning & Code Enforcement Chief Roland M. DeBlois interjected <br />that a related letter is in the backup and noted that a copy was sent to Robert Gates in 1994. <br />Thus a notification was sent to an interested property owner in that instance. Mr. DeBlois <br />stated it is impossible to notify surrounding property owners in every code enforcement <br />action. They do try to keep interested complainants informed. <br />Chairman Eggert asked if any notice is sent when a case goes before the Code <br />Enforcement Board, and Mr. DeBlois stated it is not like a rezoning, but, code enforcement <br />officers are in touch with complainants daily. In most cases, the people involved want to <br />know what is happening. <br />Director Keating resumed by pointing out that in many cases two parties are involved, <br />a complainant and a respondent. It happens regularly that complainants generally are <br />unhappy that not enough is being done and the respondents are unhappy because too much <br />is being done. He stated they are not perfect, but overall thought staff has done pretty well <br />with this site and gotten almost all the junk, trash, and debris taken care of, gotten some of <br />the illegal uses taken care of, like the U -Haul; and made logical, rational decisions <br />interpreting the Code. He was unsure why the Releaf Trees illegal use was allowed to occur. <br />Mr. DeBlois stated that his remarks are contained in the above memorandum. He felt <br />that they have been responsive and problems have been resolved within the required <br />guidelines. <br />Commissioner Ginn stated she was not taking anyone's side in this matter, just wanted <br />to get to the truth and make sure people are treated fairly and equitably. She visited the site <br />yesterday and stated that it looks pretty good now. It seemed that Mr. Jordan has had a poor <br />choice of renters. She also felt that grandfathering should have been denied if there was an <br />interruption in usage. <br />Director Keating agreed, adding that if it is a non -conforming use and it ceases <br />operation for more than a year, then it cannot be re-established legally. <br />Chairman Eggert found it most frustrating that all this came up in 1991, staff came <br />38 <br />SEPTEMBER 23, 1997 <br />
