The first item taken this morning was a discussion regading a zoning vio- lation and consequences thereof with Betty Ahern and Margaret Hayden. Chairman Young asked Betty to present her side of the case. Betty started out saying that Margaret had come out to her house by the back of the house and started taking pictures. Number 1 objection--Margaret should not have been walking around the house without identifying herself. Betty said that she had received a letter dated November 27, 1979 stating that her property was in violation of county ordinance CG-4 section 10.01. Mrs. Ahern said that she felt that the going through of personal affects on private property was unconstitutional. Mrs. Ahern also wanted to know the name of the complaintant. Mrs. Ahern asked Deputy Dan Swearingen from the Sheriff's office to tell the Board what the situation was when Margaret was at her house. Officer Swearingen said that Mrs. Ahern's husband had collapsed on the county pick-up apparently having a partial heart attack. Officer Swearingen said he calmed everyone down and let Margaret take her pictures for her investigation. Mrs. Ahern stated that she had later called the planning department for a hearing and was not given one. She wrote to Margaret to document the telephone call. John Andersen read Margaret's report of the incident for the record, and stated that he felt that Margaret was doing her job following Planning Department procedures. On rebuttal, Mrs. Ahern went through Margaret's report and made comment on some of the items that Margaret had reported. Chairman Young had a letter from Mr. Ahern's doctor stating that Mr. Ahern should not be excited to the extent that he was',. and it further stated the condition that Mr. Ahern was in when he came to the hospital. Mrs. Ahern had some pictures of her house; however, Commissioner Paulson thought that it would be more appropriate to show Margaret's pictures first as they would be a part of the record. Margaret's pictures were taken in November, 1979 when the property was supposed to be in violation. Mrs. Ahern also wanted a definition of the term "junk" as she did not con- sider the "material" on her property, "junk". Chairman Young stated that may- be in the future the planning department could investigate these kind of situations better. If there is no one at home, then the investigator should return when someone is at home. Commissioner Paulson felt that the commission should visit Mrs. Ahern's home to see if the "junk" -could be seen from the road and was a public nuisance. Mrs. Ahern stated that she would have to remove her husband from the house when the commissioners did come out and she would call them in a few days to set up an appointment. The next item taken was a land sale contract with Mr. Sherman Dale Crawford Mr. Crawford wanted someone else to take over his lease with the county. Lou asked the Board if they wanted the new lessee to assume the contract or to take it over. Chairman Young stated that he was of the opinion that the new lessee should assume the contract. The other commissioners were of the same opinion. Lou would get in contact with the new lessee and tell of the Board's decision. The next item taken was a discussion regarding Woodside Ranch Architectural Control with John Andersen. Mr. Andersen sent a memo to the Board which states that the Planning Department does not really want to enforce the different homeowners associations bylaws. Mr. Andersen feels that the app- licant should be responsible for knowing the provisions of their subdivision and it would cause the Planning Department a lot of hardship. Chairman Young 1 .ft f r was of the opinion that the Department should not have to do this. Commissioner Paulson stated that he felt that signs should be put up in the Planning Department, Sanitation Department, Building Department and Road Department stating that these departments were not responsible for informing the applicant of the various subdivision provisions. John said he would do this in his department. Lou Dvorak had another matter to bring before the commission regarding 7th Mountain Service District. It was a minor matter, so the commission did not adjourn its regular session. These had to do with bills for the district which needed the Board's signature so that Helen Rastovich, County Treasurer could pay them. The documents were signed. Next item taken was a discussion regarding the 4 day work week, 10 hour day for the Road Department for summer. Commissioner Paulson informed the gentlemen present that it had been decided by the Board to wait until the Director of Public Works had been chosen and see what he wanted to do. Mr. Lee Landers of the Road Department stated that he would answer any questions the commission had. The commission had none so the next matter was taken. The next item on the agenda was the announcement of the Director of Public Works. Commissioner Paulson explained that he had drafted the letter that the commission had in front of them offering the position to Mr. Neil Hudson of Monrovia, California. Mr. Hudson is to let the Board know by return mail if he will accept the position. MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved to approve the letter and offer the position of Director of Public Works to Mr. Neil Hudson. COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Second. VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Aye. COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye. CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Aye. Commissioner'Shepard had a concern to do with the removal of the planters in the annex parking lot which were causing a traffic hazard.
