Resident says building department sent conflicting notices about his driveway
Summary
Brian Farquhar told council he received multiple, inconsistent enforcement notices about his driveway and poor communication from building inspectors; he said he may pursue appeals in court if the city does not clarify what requires remediation.
Brian Farquhar told the council he received a notice claiming he had altered his driveway over 50 percent and that subsequent notices shifted the alleged violation from the front of his driveway to the back. "I just wanna know what is wrong with my driveway," he said, describing short phone calls from an inspector and a lack of clear direction despite multiple messages to staff.
Farquhar said he provided photos to staff and tried to work with building-department personnel, but months passed without a clear answer; he said he may pursue an appeal in court if the city does not specify the required corrective action. The clerk thanked him for the comment and the manager's administrative report was later filed for council review; no formal code-enforcement action was recorded during the meeting.
