County staff said the abatement is intended to remove remaining fire debris and other violations to protect public safety and prevent runoff into local tributaries and the lake.

Marcus Beltramo, manager of the county's code enforcement division, told the board that the main concern is debris from the structure that burned on 6782 Marin Street and the risk that “when the rain does rain on that property, that it will get capture all that debris and then wash it down, eventually going into our tributaries and streams and then ultimately the lake.” He said a demolition permit had been issued more than a year earlier but had expired and that code enforcement issued a notice and order to abate because progress toward clearing the site was “minimal or not sufficient enough.”

Property owner and appellant Jessica Northcott and her partner, Dan Hannah, addressed the board during a sworn public testimony period. Hannah said the house burned “in 12 minutes” and that they lost a friend in the fire; he described efforts to clean up and financial and housing hardship following the fire, saying they had been homeless for about 150 days. Northcott told the board she had obtained permits and used free dump days and asked for assistance: “If we can just get any help, would be highly, you know, appreciated.”

Neighbors and local advocates urged caution in enforcement. Elizabeth Jeremias, identifying herself as a neighbor and friend, said the couple had been “victimized and criminalized” during cleanup and recounted arrests and a stay-away order that, she said, interfered with their ability to finish abatement steps.

Staff described ancillary public-nuisance issues at the properties, including people living in RVs, blocked roadways and repeated calls for sheriff and environmental-health response. Beltramo said the secondary parcel contained miscellaneous stored items that conflict with the R-1 zoning because the site lacks a primary structure and storage is an accessory use.

Board members questioned staff about the timeline from the initial notice to the hearing. Beltramo said the code-enforcement office is small and handles a high volume of cases; he acknowledged the additional time benefited the owners by giving them more time to clean but said daily operational demands delayed bringing the matter to the board sooner. A supervisor suggested the county should find ways to expedite cases involving people displaced by fire.

A motion to uphold the notice of nuisance and instruct staff to proceed with abatement was made, seconded and approved by a 4-1 vote. The board directed staff to move forward with the abatement process to remove existing violations from the listed property addresses.

The board clerk recorded the motion as carried 4-1; supervisors did not record individual named votes in the transcript. Staff invited the owners to meet with code-enforcement personnel after the hearing to discuss next steps and potential assistance options.

County staff and the county building official told the board the structure was constructed without permits, lacks a septic system and presents hillside stability and structural-support concerns that make it unsafe to occupy.

Marcus Beltramo, code enforcement manager, said county records show no building permits for the structure and described it as “an unpermitted structure” on property zoned SR. He said corrective options presented to the owner included obtaining permits and bringing the structure up to code or obtaining a demolition permit and removing the building. Beltramo said the chief building official reviewed the property and that a primary concern is public safety.

Chief Building Official Jack Smiley told the board he observed roof members laid flat without structural support and identified hillside stability and foundation issues: “Parts of the roof that are built with TGIs laying flat, which has no structural support,” and he noted that slope stability on the downhill side was a concern. He added that if the owner were to submit plans, obtain septic and meet current codes, the building department could consider permits and plan review.

Owner Diana Angolero testified under oath that she bought the lot in 2022 and has been working with family and friends to clean the property. She said she had been hospitalized several times this year but had removed some hazardous items and paid for an asbestos report; she asked the county for help so she could keep or rehabilitate the structure.

Code-enforcement Officer Wesley Nelson described field findings including an abandoned or failed septic pit and evidence of slope movement: “I was able to move it to the side and find redwood lumber and water underneath it as, like, a holding septic tank.” Nelson said surrounding parcels had failed percolation tests and that the 30% grade in places limits septic options and complicates compliance.

Board members discussed options including a compliance plan with set milestones, whether temporary dwelling permits could be issued during cleanup, and the practical costs and feasibility of bringing the structure into compliance. Beltramo and Smiley said bringing the structure to current code would likely require engineered plans, a new septic system and utility connections; Beltramo estimated remediation and safe demolition costs could be in the range of “20 to $25,000” if demolition and hazardous-material removal were required.

One supervisor proposed a conditional compliance window (30 days) to permit the owner to apply for permits before staff moved to demolish; several supervisors and staff said no contractor or engineer had appeared at the hearing to certify the structure was salvageable. After discussion, a motion to uphold the notice and direct staff to proceed with demolition carried 4-1.

Staff told the owner the county can meet with her to explain the zoning-clearance checklist, required utilities (well, septic, or water tank arrangements) and available procedural steps if she wishes to pursue repair and permitting. The board record shows the order to abate will proceed; staff will coordinate abatement and follow-up reporting.
