Summary
A new fence at 1697 Sumatra Ave. was installed without a permit; the magistrate ordered the owners submit a permit application within 30 days or face $50-per-day fines.
The special magistrate ordered the owners of 1697 Sumatra Ave. to obtain a permit for a recently installed fence within 30 days or face fines of $50 per day for each day the fence remained unpermitted.
Todd Mead read the case for the officer who investigated and said the proactive case, opened March 11, 2025, revealed a newly installed fence with no permit. A door hanger and later notice of violation were posted and sent certified mail. City records showed no permit application or submission as of the hearing.
Mead requested 30 days to obtain the permit or, if not, ask that the city impose $50 per day until compliance. The magistrate found the respondent in violation and ordered correction by 4 p.m. on June 27, 2025 (30 days). The respondent was ordered to contact the code compliance inspector to verify compliance.
The magistrate's order will be entered in writing and mailed; failure to obtain the required permit and inspections may result in continuing fines until the permit process is completed and inspections are passed.
