Subject: Trash Cans and Fairness
To those who can do something about this:
I live on Albert Drive in SLO. I received a violation for my trash can being visible from public view. The can
was behind a fence that was about 3 inches lower than the trash can and my correction notice said "Trash cans
must be COMPLETELY hidden from public view ". My neighbor, the MAYOR of this city has built a lattice
fence to hide her cans. First off, I can still see the cans, so if I'm getting a violation, she should get one
too. Secondly the lattice fence she built is in violation of Municipal Code section 17.16.050(b) Fences, walls
and hedges in that it is within the front yard setback and over 6 feet tall. Finally, this fence that the mayor built
blocks her garage and therefor eliminates the parking required by the municipal code table 6 of section
17.16.060 which states the required parking for single family residential is "Two spaces per dwelling. In the R -1
and C /OS zones, one space must be covered ". By blocking her garage the mayor has eliminated one of two
required off street parking places and now has no covered parking.
I am fed up with this city council and I am fed up with feeling like I'm living in an HOA.
I will not tell you who I am as I live very close the mayor and I can just see her order code enforcement to drive
by my house daily and I already live in a constant state of fear of the neighbor wellness patrol officials.
