Subject: RE: Mellin Property
Karla,
Mr. Mellin has applied for a building permit to build a 3300 sq. ft. single family dwelling with garage. His plans are to
also create a large flat area to incorporate the site excavation to date for a future barn and possibly an accessory
dwelling unit in the future. We have reinstated the original grading permit and are in the process of reviewing the single
family dwelling. We will not issue a Certificate of Occupancy for the house until all the work is completed on the
property under the grading permit. We also have tied a renewable 6 month time line to do the work. Mr. Mellin knows
that commercial use of the property including equipment and storage of materials not used with the present
construction, as well as use of the property for staging for other projects will subject the building and grading permits to
be revoked.
As with any permitted project in the County, there will be noise and some other impacts during construction. Hopefully
the impacts will just be related to the site construction. We will continue to monitor. Please feel free to come into the
office to view the approved plans once approved. Please call with any questions.
Thanks,
Andy

I was out most of last week. I will start stopping by this week and keep a log. Be careful not to trespass. We can go on
the site since he has a grading permit and needs to get along with us. I do not want you to get in trouble on top of
everything else.

Andy,
Interesting that he agreed not to use this parcel as a staging area as he brought back in three backhoes the
largest of which came in after dark Wednesday, March 7th, shook our house due to pulling the heavy load up
the road, was then re -loaded and hauled out Sunday, March nth making this a seven (7) day a week
contractor yard! This morning out goes a pre -loaded truck with lumber & rebar then later this morning
another truck leaves with an empty trailer that had been parked on site.
We will keep our eye out for returning equipment and workers.

I did hear back from Mr. Mellin. We did discuss his future building permit for the lot being a single family dwelling. We
stressed that materials at the site could be only for the project at the site. He said he has another yard to store
equipment and agreed not to use the parcel as a staging area. I said we would continue to monitor.
Once he has a building permit on the parcel, it gives us additional leverage toward compliance if he does not follow
through with his statements. We will keep an eye on the situation.

A Notice of Violation (NOV) went out yesterday for using the property as a contractor's yard and for staging a
commercial operation in a mostly residential neighborhood. The added traffic to the county road was also included. We
will continue to monitor and help Mr. MeIlin come into compliance. Thanks for your patience with the process.

Subject: Mellin Property
I took pictures last week and this week. It would appear that the property is being used as a staging area and storage
related to a contractor's yard. We will continue to monitor for a couple more weeks. Any additional information you
can provide would be added to the file. To some degree, the material on the site should be moved off of the site. New
material or the reoccurrence of equipment or material not related to a specific permit is what needs to end. We will
communicate this with Mr. Mellin.
Thanks,
Andy
