Abatement battle gets settled after five years

Here we go with Overton AGAIN!!!!!! The place was filth. He has wasted City dollars and City time and efforts for what?? I see what you do Collect all the garbage that people dont want and then store it across from the PD, your place need abating as well. Get this women off the council. Lets start setting a good example of a clean City not the one like Overton perceives as clean. We saw what she did to the Hot Spot!!!! I applaud the rest of the council for having enough of the guy.Maybe he will move out of Clearlake and build a rats nest in Overtons storage shed!!!!

By the way , does the "City Beautiful" campain (or whatever it was called) still use that ugly recycled tan / brown paint to go around and paint some of the local buildings? That was going on before i left. What an eyesore THAT was...

Just clean up Clearlake and get all the vermin out. Return it to its old touristy ways, like in the oast.

Abatement battle gets settled after five years
The headline and report are a result of falsified statements made by city staff.
Your omission that the abatement issues originated from the 6/11/07 Public Nuisance Notice of Violation, conceals that your reported abatement decisions were based on irrelevant issues, the abatement battle began after 6/11/07 showing that your headline is erroneous.
The public Nuisance Notice of Violation is the instrument informing the owner what to abate. If not completed after the second notice deadline. The city can hire an agency to execute the notice.
The notice contains code section numbers and their definition. Section numbers Code required
It does not provide a brief description of the violation. Notice of violation Code Required
It does not provide the conditions constituting the public nuisance. What to abate Code Required
Having a mess, junk, garbage, and debris may be a public nuisance. The notice must define how they are a public nuisance. Otherwise it’s unenforceable because it hasn’t defined what to enforce.
I appealed the notice to get it code compliant. The city responded with a lengthy staff report alleging the notice was code compliant without identifying where and how it complied. It also alleged a dismissed notice of violation was not dismissed in September 2004 and was pending. The allegation was not supported with a record of the court. I expressed that the statement was falsified. The City needed to pretend the hearing was pending so they could claim every notice and accusation against me over a five year period was noncompliant. Then they made you an accessory by getting you to right a story Headlined five year abatement battle settled. The fact That fact City staff premeditated a criminal act against the people of Clearlake and me is irrefutable.
As you can see your report is a complete fallacy. You are obligated to inform the people in this town the truth.

Well, to most normal folk , i believe a cliffnote of "Clean up your yard and property" is common sense. What? Did you want the city to come with a list of what is meant by Mess / junk / garbage / debris??! You should have just cleaned it all up man! WHat's wrong with you?! When they said "You can't fight city Hall" , they meant YOU! LOL!

Its not that difficult to follow the code. All that I ask is to follow the law first. Once that has occured then pass judgement on me. If the city does not follow the law. They are not qualified to enforce it. You should be concerned with that. Their enforcement is then invalid even if they have a valid claim. If you don't respect that then you don't respect the intellegence that wrote the law with the intent of following it. Your attitude represents no order just cayos.

I see. So, you admit your property was a problem, and they had a valid claim, but they were just going about it in the wrong way , correct? And your way of defiance was to not clean up your unsightly mess in a galant "I'll show them" move?! And see what THAT got you? Well, if i were YOU , i would have cleaned up the mess , THEN fought them on the issue of not following the law,...but you didn't do that. Now, here's some non Chaos (correct spelling) for you - WHy didn't you attend to your own property and surroundings, if for no other reason, just for your own sake? Don't quote rules or laws, why didn't you clean it all up just for yourself?
