Let me know Tue, Mar 19, 5:23 PM Kelly Carner Thank you, I’ll try bring the plans with me for the garage and get them submitted if possible or at least know if they want anything else, also like I said the Mon, Apr 1, 9:35 AM Kelly Carner Hi Sheila I'm working on plans, but I was sick when I got home and just now feeling better, so I wont have them completed yet, what else were you wanting to cov Tue, Apr 2, Sheila Madsen <SMadsen@rentonwa.gov> 9:09 AM to Eric, me Good morning Mr. Carner, No problem about the garage plans. In fact, the department to help you on that front is the Planning Department. You can reach them here: planningcustomerservice@rentonwa.gov if needed. 2 In the meantime, the issues I wanted to discuss and decide a plan of action on are: On the Notice of Violation and Order to Correct:  Violation 1 – All vehicles that are on the property are to be operable and licensed. The two that were observed in a recent inspection (white Montana trailer (Lic#1371-NW), and white Ford van (Lic# C00737T)) will need to corrected.  Violation 2 – Going over the previous Hearing Examiner decision from 2019, it states, in part, “It is concluded that Mr. Carner is indeed “grandfathered” to the use of his property to store up to five noncommercial automobiles that are the subject of Violation No. 1 of the FOV, but not to any outdoor storage of commercial vehicles, the cargo container or the wood, oil drums and solid waste that is the subject of Violations No. 2-4. Further, even though the noncommercial automobiles are grandfathered, for the reasons identified in the Introduction section to this decision those grandfathered automobiles are still subject to current City regulations that limit the number of parked vehicles to four on Mr. Carner’s property.” I will be amending my Notice of Violation to state “Limit the number of licensed and operable vehicles to five (5).” A recent inspection showed at least 7 vehicles on the property, this will need to be corrected.  Violation 3- All vehicles will need to be parked permissibly. Grass and/or dirt are not approved surfaces.  Violation 4- You have previously stated in an email that you have family living in a recreational vehicle. This will need to be corrected. This is another term used (Non Conforming Use). Here are some examples of what I’m trying to explain, and literally are thousands of examples. A nonconforming use is a use of property that was allowed under the zoning regulations at the time the use was established but which, because of subsequent changes in those regulations, is no longer a permitted use. Nonconforming uses and structures are not illegal uses and structures; they are generally allowed to continue as is, subject to local restrictions. In Rhod-A-Zalea v. Snohomish County (1998), the state supreme court explained the basis for this treatment of nonconforming uses: The theory of the zoning ordinance is that the nonconforming use is detrimental to some of those public interests (health, safety, morals or welfare) which justify the invoking of the police power. Although found to be detrimental to important public interests, nonconforming uses are allowed to continue based on the belief that it would 3 be unfair and perhaps unconstitutional to require an immediate cessation of a nonconforming use. Local restrictions typically prohibit expansion of nonconforming uses and structures. Nonconforming uses usually lose their legal status under local regulations if they are discontinued for a particular period of time, such as six months or a year. Nonconforming structures typically lose their legal status if they are destroyed, such as by fire, in whole or in part Uses that become nonconforming as a result of changes in zoning regulations are still subject to reasonable regulations under a city or county's police power to protect the public health, safety, and welfare that are enacted subsequent to the use being established. 4
