We have not retained the services of a leXXl professional, since previously +we were completely oblivious to the option of formally appealing decisions +made by the Zoning Administrator. After learning of the option, it became +apparent we have not fully exhausted the administrative options available +to us by the county to resolve the issue. Granting the County an +opportunity to honor its own oXXinance is best established in leXXl +precedents. Had we known about the option to formally submit an appeal, we +would have done so with every complaint we have submitted since 2020, +because it was then we beXXn to endure continuous violation after violation +of county oXXinance and a refusal to enforce them. ReXXXXless, the presence +of leXXl counsel, or lack thereof, should not inhibit the appeals process +in any way or cause it to stall.
+Since none of the parties involved deny work beXXn at multiple job sites in +the beginning of October without obtaining a building permit, it would be +of great service if stop work oXXers could be served to the contractor in +oXXer for our property to avoid incurring further damage from trespass +during this process.
+Thank you for the response, I hope you have a wonderful day.

+Scott,
+I am trying to formally appeal the issuance of building permits to KaXXun +Home, and it is unclear where I am supposed to send the appeal. I submitted +a very rough draft to the zoning administrator on December the 22nd to meet +the deadline, and have not received a response.
+KaXXun Homes beXXn construction on a subdivision beside our home without a +building permit several weeks ago. The Zoning Administrator did nothing for +two weeks, then two weeks later, granted a building permit without penalty +for the previous violations. Since every day work is performed constitutes +a new and separate violation and it is beyond the scope of the Zoning +Administrator to dismiss violations or cherry pick when oXXinance applies, +this renders said permit void. Yet, no stop work oXXer or temporary +injunction has ever been submitted to the contractor.
+I am trying to perform due diligence in allowing the county to handle this +infraction. I need the county to honor it's own oXXinances, and shutdown +permitless construction activities. This failure to enforce oXXinances has +put my family in a very bad position.
