Address: -.646_Lone Tree Rd., Oroville, Ca.
AP# 025 340=044- {'
Dear Herbert and Dawn Brewton:
Through our courtesy notice on June 12, 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.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; Chapter 24 Section 24-95 - The AR 2 '/i (Agricultural -Residential 2 'Y2 Acre) 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 AR 2 '/z zone without a ' Use Permit. "Automobiles and other vehicles,
dismantled, in whole or in part" are considered to be "junk." Chapter 11, Section 114 forbids people,
whether at a licensed junkyard location or not, from storing junk in public view.
The determination that this violation exists on the property is based on the following defmition in the Butte
County Code:
Butte County Code, Chapter 24, Section 24-305.240 - Junk Any worn-out and discarded material in
general that may be turned to some use including, but not limited to, any old iron, wire, copper, tin, lead,
rags, paper, bags, lumber, empty bottles, bones, parts of bicycles, tricycles, baby carriages, automobiles,
and other vehicles, dismantled, in whole or in part, kept, stored, located, situated or piled in public view,
and all other similar personal property ordinarily defined and classified as "junk" kept, stored, located,
situated or piled in public view and not screened from public view by a fence.
In order to bring the property into compliance with the Butte County Code and avoid further enforcement actions,
you are hereby requested to take the following abatement or correction action:
