[ODDJOB UNO]

let ME give YOU a lil advice re: zoning and permits and plans.


once upon a time.............this certain MORON decided to build some structures on a property that the previous owner built walls around without permits and brought in over 40 truckloads of dirt and changed grade.

the new owner was b.s'd by realtor as to what was what and that all was cool with property.


well since then this certain MORON, wanted to run a biz out of this residence. this was brought to zonings attention,along with OTHER problems with non permitted walls built on county easements and grade change and sheet flooding issues due to grade change.

this moron decided also to not get permits for (2) pre fabbed structures he brought in let alone for (2) 1/2 azz'd structures he built which have since been destroyed (as in wasted flat) by wind storms. i am NOT MAKING THIS UP! i saw this with my own eyes. just envision a microburst tearing a POS building apart beam by beam shingle by shingle and finally lifting entire structure into air and it smashing to the ground in lil itty bitty splinters.



let me put it in laymans terms:



any zoning, city state county likes to play baseball. and in baseball you have 3 strikes and yer OUT!


when you FAIL to obtain eng plans and permits zoning gives you 3 strikes to come into compliance.


when a certain MORON runs the ZEO(zoning enforcement officer) off of his property yelling profanitys and threats......................guess WHAT?????



a certain MORON gets FAST TRACKED on the DESIGNATED HITTER LIST!



and when a certain MORON signs a county document promising COMPLIANCE after the 3rd strike and mandatory county zoning hearing and DOES NOT COME INTO COMPLIANCE @ $50 a day ..............................it QUICKLY ADDS UP to over $9000 in fines over a few months.



this is STRIKE FOUR (4) and NOW ITS PAY THE FINE AND OR JAIL! OR BOTH! and then get the eng plans and the proper permits.



and guess who comes to the PARTY NOW???????




THE COUNTY ATTORNEY!




and NOW ITS UGLY x a MILL-YON!




so get the drawings/get the PERMITS! do it BY THE BOOK!



and the reality of all of this as part of my job is dealing with city/county zoning laws, is the ZEO(zoning enforcement officer) IS YOUR FRIEND!



HE IS THE BUFFER BTWN YOU and SHADY POS CONTRACTORS! its a pretty good checks and balance system, that PROTECTS YOU!



i cannot tell you how many times DOCUMENTED SURVEYS which cost a boatload in their own right have saved our bacon, as far as easements, property lines,utilities are concerned.


cannot tell you how many times getting proper permits and hiring LICENSED BONDED INSURED CONTRACTORS have saved our bacon.



save yerself a lot of headaches. pissing zoning off is just bad ju-ju,trust me. they WILL WIN AND THEY WILL KICK YER AZZ SO HIGH YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE STRAIGHT WHEN THEY RUN OVER YOU WITH THEIR FREIGHT TRAIN!
