Dear: William and Widener Walker
Through our courtesy notice on March 28, 2003 , you were notified pursuant to Section 41-2 of the Butte County
Code of the presence of code violations on your above -referenced property. According to our records, the
courtesy notice has not resulted in abatement or correction of the:
The keeping of inoperable vehicles in public view.
Your failure to eliminate the stated violations are cause for the issuance of this formal warning notice.
As of this date, our records indicate that the following violations to the Butte County Code still exist:
Butte County Code, Chanter 24, Section 24-90 -The A( Aar_iculture) zone does not "specifically
authorize" large accumulations of junk. The storing of more than 100 square feet of "junk" on a
parcel is one of the items used to determine that a "junkyard" condition exists. A "junkyard" is
not an allowed use in the A zone without a Use Permit. "Automobiles and other vehicles,
dismantled, in whole or in part" are considered to be "junk." Chapter 11, Section 11-4 forbids
people, whether at a licensed junkyard location or not, from storing junk in public view.
