04/03/2009: "Accessory Buildings Topic For Council"

Responding to complaints that Director Ron Hendrickson of CD&PD (Community Development & Planning) will not issue building permits for buildings common to a house, such as a garage, unless there already a house on the property -or a permit is submitted for a house- the County will review his actions on April 13.

San Juan County contractor Tom Nolan asked the County Council to intercede and direct Hendrickson to accept applications for building permits for accessory structures on land designated as residential land, even if there is no residence or a proposal to construct a residence.

Nolan had taken advantage of the Citizen Access agenda slot at 10:00 a.m. on Monday and Tuesday when the Council meets to explain to the council that for the past six months he has been unable to obtain permits for four separate property owners who want to build garages or boathouses on otherwise vacant properties.
