Dear Mr. & Mrs. Osborne:
Through our courtesy notice on. August 9, 2000, you were notified pursuant to Section 41-2.of the
Butte County Code of the presence of code violations on your above -referenced property.
Accordingto our records, the courtesy notice has not resulted in abatement or correction of the
keeping of junk and inoperable vehicles in public view on your property. 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 violation to the Butte County Code still exist:
Butte County Code, Chapter 24, Section 24-230 - The U (Unclassified) 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 U 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.
The determination that these violations exist on the property is based on the following definition 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.
