Mr. Robinson stated orders were issued on March 22, 2007 to remove wood debris, bags of yard waste and refuse by the side of the gazage with a compliance date of March 27, 2007. The property was re- inspected on March 27 and the wark had not been done. A wark order was sent to the Parks Deparhnent who cleaned up the yard on April 10, 2007. The orders were mailed to Neng Lee at 918 Weshninster Street and to Neng Lee at 990 County Road Q in Roseville. No mail was returned. Mr. Robinson also stated that there was a note from the inspector in the file indicating that he had spoken with Mr. Lee on March 27 and Mr. Lee indicated to him that all of the items would be removed by March 30. Mr. Robinson presented a video of the clean up that was done at the property. Mr. Lor stated that the neighbors had a lot of garbage next to her garage and Ms. Lee had asked them to remove their stuff. When she saw that the items had been rennoved, she thought the neighbors had gotten rid of it. She believed this was a misunderstanding and that she should not be responsible for the cost of the assessment since it was her neighbors stuff. Ms. Moermond stated that she understood this was unfair and perhaps the Police should have been contacted since the neighbors had dumped their stuff on Ms. Lee's property. She asked how long Ms. Lee had owned the property. Mr. Lor responded that Ms. L,ee had owned the property since 1947. Ms. Moermond asked about the history of complaints and whether orders had been issued to this property. Mr. Robinson stated that on January 22, 2007, orders were issued on a stove that wasn't working properiy. He also noted that orders had been issued in May, 2006 to remove garbage and rubbish. Ms. Moermond recommended reducing the assessment from a total of $358 to a total of $258 and spread the payments ovez three (3) years I M I � N 1 H Q I N 1 H i O W � � � N Q F 1 M a a W�N a�N � o� � a�m a�N � �� � N � � i O O O II O i �; o O o 11 O •�1 � N O O II N O� O N N 11 N � � � m+?tR II M a �sn nu+ r� i n 0.' 11 i a o n w F i n i � � i ii z W � u i rL E VI i o00 � H�000 i N ; O O O t"1 O O O 1 � � 1 M i N.i ri � m Qi � O 1 O�M 3k H U� � E r1 i E W h i V] W � o0o i RC E i o00 � mr1 � o00 � a� w i .-I N � rl O O q � F i �n N l D P H � I O O 1 i � I O 4 1 hz � 0 H� � � UH � WD h.7 � O O i a � ttim i •W W aw � wcnt7 � tK W l�� i RC�UU � oz� H� �rxw � �noa vo � a�H� x> � �ou ua � c�o�C � ww z w�maw � �z � � ao � � a � wA � xw � � � w � Hw o � z�z� WEO � x?� � W�H i ar [� p a� p u •� o � a a' � W W F o i W U � x O �+ � ti,w��nF z�� ❑�WO �WO� H '�i � H E `� /j' 1f1 1 w a� � W � C] H[� ar � a a � FWm �ni CC � q • f+ * � � a�qqEO r� � w�Cm,.7 0 � � � � i i i n � o i � � N ; � N N � mH� � � � Eom�o o fL' � �n p o i w o a N a� � aMw •• � N K� W�+ F w i a � h�nmo o �a � z"'��, � N� �z�a � � � a � wH�wc� m o�wmawz � m a� � m w � c� amz � i ,� 3�W�EmW � .� O � 2�m�nx � i 0 0 o n o 0 0 o I I o • ii • NOOIIN O tfl N il l� t"J L} L?
