Learn why this is important Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. Hello Mayor Roe and Councilmembers, My husband and I live on South McCarrons Blvd and we live two houses down from 257. We have lived here for 7 years. I am writing to ask you to have the fence taken down at 257 McCarrons Blvd S. As well as having the property owner pay for the replacement of the city fence they removed. I have reviewed all of the documents connected to the meeting and have a few comments and concerns: This first section is in response to the letter Mr. Carrara's Lawyer submitted. But I saw on the city council agenda page that document is redacted. I am not sure if that means you will or won't be considering the letter in your decision. If you are considering the letter, this first section is in response. If you are not, please disregard this section and go to section 2. 1. MISLEADING PERMIT AND FENCE REMOVAL: Mr. Carrara's lawyer is trying to use 707.19 city code (listed below) as an argument that the council cannot revoke his permit. In reviewing his permit and site plan, it seems he was given a permit for a much smaller fence than what was put up. So, no "necessary permit" was obtained for a large portion of the fence put up. And he did not obtain the "necessary permits" for a fence in the Right-of-way (ROW). So, according to this code (707.19) the owner needs to "deposit with the Director the fees necessary to correct any damage to the right of way". And my interpretation of "correcting any damage to the right of way" would be needing to take down the fence illegally placed there and replacing the existing fence. So, it would seem to me that the city does not even need to revoke the permit because the necessary permits were not even obtained and that according to this code the repair costs would fall to Mr. Carrara. This is the city code I have mentioned: 707.19: WORK DONE WITHOUT A PERMIT: Non-emergency Situations: Except in an emergency, any person who, without first having obtained the necessary permit, obstructs or excavates a right of way must subsequently obtain a permit, and as a penalty pay double the normal fee for said permit, pay double all the other fees required by the Legislative Code, deposit with the Director the fees necessary to correct any damage to the right of way and comply with all of the requirements of this Chapter.
