DIRECTO OF P BLIC WORKS BY ilding permit expires Date —2-i — '7� To Whom It May Concern: Regarding my road right-of-way, I have a 20 foot deeded easement/right-of-way that runs between the homes of Mr & Mrs.. Ed Kirby and Mr. & Mrs Titus Johnson.. Approximately 10 feet of that right-of-way was being used prior to Mr. Ed Kirby, who has a commercial business on his residential property started enlarging on his home and building out -buildings, expanding his house almost tripling the dwelling with several new rooms and garage. He also tore down an old garage and replaced it with a much larger building/garage, the extent of his project being a new dining room, plus a quite large room upstairs/possibly more than one room and a garage drive-through below part of the expansion.. All of the expansion crowded his driveway on the other side of his house. Mr. Kirby made a new driveway on the north side which circled the back of his home for customers and as a delivery entrance for all work related traffic which happens to infringe on my road easement. Several times I have encountered waiting delivery and customer traffic, partially blocking my entrance/exit. When I am coming home from anywhere and the driveway Is blocked it puts me In an extremely precarious position on Foothill Blvd. as only about 30 feet south of my driveway there Is a sharp curve which does not allow for any reaction if somebody happens along on Foothill from the south. Coming from the North you come down a hill from the Wyandotte cemetery and can see nothing until reaching the bottom except Mr. Johnson's and my driveway, but no preview of the oncoming traffic around the curve, and several times recently both my wife and I have been stuck waiting on the road for a vehicle to finish entering or exiting while out on Foothill Blvd. which Is only two lanes with cars coming down the hill, and/or around the blind curve very fast, attempting to avoid hitting me and blowing their horns at me for being on the road. I talked to Ed and told him he needed to widen the driveway for better access. That made him mad. I reminded him I had a 20 foot right-of-way. He then put In a post that extended all the way out to Foothill Blvd that blocked me from making a right turn safely out of my driveway, as well as cutting my driveway down to about eight feet. I then took his post down; I actually have no Idea what his problem was all about, I thought Ed and I were friends. I soon found out in part; he has expanded his business and has some kind of business going in the new garage. Now instead of the one employee which worked for "Northern Golf Carts", he now has three employees, two of which do something full time In his new garage with a big extension of the building attached. He also has moved in a couple of large trailers, possibly for storage, and has quite a few old cars stored on the lot as well. Apparently this is the reason he feels he needs my driveway, because he doesn't want all the dust and traffic so close to his living quarters, instead he feels that he has a right to take part of my driveway and redirect his traffic and dust into Mr. & Mrs. Johnson's home and yard instead. Recently Mr. Titus Johnston, the people who own and live in the house at 4680 Foothill Blvd, In front and myself went to the Planning Commissioner to check to see if Mr. Kirby even had permits for any or all of the work he had done.. At that time we were told that there had been no permits Issued on that property since 1977. To my knowledge all of this area is zoned for residential and agriculture, not commercial, and I would appreciate it very much if there Is something that can be done to remedy these problems. Sincerely, JACK SISK JR. 4686 FOOTHILL BLVD OROVILLE, CA A5966 530 589-3394 To Whom It May Concern: In the year 1973 at approximately the last part of May or the first part of June we purchased five acres of land with a home from Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Oats. The transaction was carried out through a local real estate agency, the agents being Mr. and Mrs. Holland. The home is located at 4680 Foothill Blvd., Oroville, CA The previously mentioned transaction took, place in late May or early June of 1973. At the time of the purchase Mr. Oats gave me a tour of the property as well where the adjoining property lines were located. He took me to the comer at the back of the house toa big wooden post next to what he stated was an easement road, which was on his property which, went back to some property behind our property. At that time nobody lived there. He showed me the gates he had on the end of the easement and said the easement road was on his property. A Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kinnard lived on the other side of the easement in the back of his house. W. Kinnard told me after we moved down here in August of 1973 that I had to keep watch on who was coming and going on the easement. He was right, people would try to go in there hunting or even cut wood and at times they would get in before we knew they were there, and at times would leave the gate open and our animals would get out. It was a problem for us. During this time we were robbed twice, the first time they took four guns and some other things. The last robbery took place while we were away, they took two saddles and gear, aswell as a chain saw. Subsequently in 1981, after the robberies had taken place, we put a five foot chain link fence around our house and got a couple of good guard dogs and have not been robbed since that time. The fence in the back of our property was put on the line that Mr. Oats told me was the property line. There was never any dispute or problem with the Kinnards regarding property lines. Eventually Mr. Cook and family built a home on the back parcel and moved there. I then took the gate down and built a fence up the easement where they could go without opening gates as I knew he would keep people out who didn't belong there as he would be able to monitor any problems in the back of the property from his home at 4686 Foothill. In the meantime Mr. Kinnard died and Mrs. Kinnard sold her property at 4688 Foothill Blvd, Oroville, CA to Mr. Ed Kirby and family. He looked at the property so he did know what he had bought on their word, just as I did when Mr. Oats told me what I had bought. Mr. Kirby seemed like a good family man, he told me he works on golf carts which was no problem for me, but soon he started to increase his business and his buildings in a very large volume. There were cement trucks and dump trucks coming and going plus building supplies, etc. The dust was covering our house and patio which rendered the patio useless as a patio, and really exacerbated my wife's asthma to the point of severe illness. Shortly after that he had all of the extra dirt from the new road they were putting in hauled " over the -easement right behind my home without watering the road, nor did he ask thepeople who own the easement if he could even use it. This all took place in the summer when it was extremely dry and dusty. Our house was covered with dust inside and out. Our house sits west of the easement and most of the wind is from the east putting very little of the dust in his home. Our kitchen, bedroom and family room are all on the East Side, which really made life extremely difficult for us. Soon after the road was built he said he was going to put in fence to the new road down where no-one could drive up to the front of his house and would funnel all of the traffic on the easement behind my house. Needless to say, this upset not only me, but also my neighbor Jack, the man who owns and maintains the easement. I put some posts and wire down the east side of the easement, then he said okay, you stay on your property and I will stay on mine. He built a road on the other side and for the last couple years has graveled it. For the last one -and -one-half to two years he has had two full time and one part-time workers in his big new building. Apparently he ran out of room so now he's after more. He has a half to possibly one dozen old cars, a couple of large trucks, a storage trailer and some other junk strewn over the property. He has been building for about two years now and does not show any intentions of stopping. Jack Sisk (the man who has the easement road) and I would like to know if he can do all of this in an agriculture district.. Recently Mr. Jack Sisk of 4686 Foothill Blvd. and myself went to the county to check on permits. According to Butte County there have been no permits at all issued on that property since 1977 and we would like this stopped. Mr. Kirby has always had a driveway on the other side of his house but rather than get their kitchen and dining room filthy, and put up with the noise of all the trucks, traffic and dust, he feels he has a right to detour his problems to the neighbors on the back side of his house and business. Also, if you will examine the house closely there are no windows on the additions to the home on the side of their house that faces us. Thank you for your prompt attention and whatever advise you can offer. Sincerely, Titus F. Johnston 4680 Foothill Blvd Oroville, CA 95966 l PP-P,,,C \; ED • i ab
