Ms. Price presented the case and introduced pictures as City
Exhibit A. Ms. Price reminded the Board that at the last meeting,
they decided to postpone this case hearing until the next meeting,
giving Mr. Norberg time to meet with the Building official to
resolve the matter. Ms. Price hand delivered a letter to Mr.
1
Norberg advising that his case would be brought back before the
Code Enf orcement Board. The Final order f rom the last meeting was
sent certified mail to Mr. Norberg; however, we have not received
receipt that it was received. Ms. Price explained not receiving
the Final order does not negate Mr. Norberg's responsibility to
resolve the matter. There is proof that the Final order was mailed
to him, fulfilling our obligation to attempt to deliver. Ms. Price
continued to present the case, stating that Mr. Norberg did remove
the large storage facility and workshop from the parking spaces,
but continues to use these same spaces for storing spas as well as
the forklift that he uses to move and load them with. She further
stated that in essence he removed one storage violation and
replaced it with another. The date of Mr. Norberg's original
citation was June 23, 1993, which was 62 days during which time Mr.
Norberg made no effort to come into compliance. Ms. Price asked
the Board to address this matter, noting the lack of cooperation on
Mr. Norberg's part and find him in violation of Section 620.20 of
Zoning ordinance #495 and allow him two days to remove the spas,
forklift and other materials stored in the required parking spaces
or impose a fine of $75.00 per day as long as any part of the
stored items remain in violation.
Mr. Norberg spoke in opposition, stating that he didn't feel
he had a problem. He further stated that he did write a letter to
Mr. Culbertson and received Mr. Culbertson' s reply, so he did make
an effort to comply. Mr. Norberg expressed that he did not
understand what the violation was. He explained that due to his
running a retail store, he can not leave his place of business to
come discuss this with Mr. Culbertson.
At this time Mr. Culbertson desired to speak, so the secretary
swore in the Building official. Mr. Culbertson explained that he
gave Mr. Norberg his business card and it was Mr. Norberg's
responsibility to contact him.
Mr. Valkenburg expressed his sympathy for Mr. Norberg, however
stated that this problem is not the City's problem. He explained
that he is in violation of the City's Zoning ordinance. He further
expressed that he did not feel that Mr. Norberg had made any effort
to rectify the problem.
Mr. Culbertson stated that he would call Mr. Norberg at 9:00 A.M.
the next day to set up a meeting.
Mr. Mantzaris suggested that the Board needed to address Ms.
Price's recommendation.
The Hearing was closed and the Board discussed, the case.
After much discussion, Ms. Addison made a motion, seconded by Mr.
Valkenburg that based on the evidence seen and testimony given to
find the respondent, Victor L. Norberg, guilty of violating Zoning
N
ordinance #495, Section 620.20. Motion carried by a unanimous roll
call vote.
Ms. Addison continued her motion, seconded by Mr. Bull to give the
respondent, Victor L, Norberg 14 days or until September 7, 1993 to
bring the property into compliance or a penalty of $75.00 per day
will be imposed and will continue for each and every day of non-
compliance. Motion carried by a unanimous roll call vote.

that she would not have a problem with rescinding the order. Mr.
