RE: Formal Warning Notice
Butte County Code Violation
AP# 033-110-058
Dear Suzy Arlene Vollendroff;
Through our courtesy notice on April 28, 2006 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
following specific violations:
1. The keeping of inoperable vehicles in public view.
Your failure to eliminate the stated violations is cause for the issuance of this formal warning notice.
This is notice that as of this date, our records indicate that the following violations to the Butte
County Code still exist:
Butte County Code, Chapter 24, Section 24-65 - Applicability of zoning regulations. All uses
of land within a zoned district not specifically authorized or permitted by regulations are
prohibited.
Butte County Code, Chapter 24, Section 24-95 - The AR (Agricultural -Residential) 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 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 this violation exists 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,

view and not screened from public view by a fence.
• Butte County Code, Chapter 24, Section 24-305.451 - Violator. An adult owner, tenant,

in or the right of access to the premises, who is suspected or alleged to have violated or to be
in violation of any Butte County Code provisions of the Chapters specified in Butte County
Code Section 24-305.451.
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 actions:
1. Remove all inoperable/junk vehicles from the property.
This is your final wamin . Unless you contact this office and make the proper arrangements to
correct or abate the violation(s) voluntarily, within ten 10 days from the date of this letter,
