the frount counter today to discuss his
complaints and our actions. He asserted that
the property is still in violation due to the cargo
container and visible storage. He then
showed me photos of the current condition, I
did not see any conditions that I thought
immediately caused a violation based on a
quick look at his photos. I did inform him that I
had moved to administrative action for the
setback violations and will continue with
administrative action as necessary. Some
additional concerns the RP stated were cow
skulls on the shed, POD in driveway, illegal
construction of a deck in back yard, 12 foot
post on deck with a camera pointing into the
RP's back yard, parking on street in front of
RP's house, front yard of parking, visible
