Title

Appeal of Victoria Downey to a Summary Abatement Order at 761 HOWELL STREET NORTH.

 

Date/Time of 1st LH:  June 20, 2023

Purpose of Appeal:  Prior to constructing them three years ago, I checked the city's boulevard planting guidelines (see attached) and they in no way state that they are not allowed, nor do they require a permit. My understanding, after speaking to the person from DSI, is that the wood boxes are the issue. They are hardly a permanent structure given that they have no foundation.

Date of Order(s) Under Appeal:  May 23, 2023

Inspector/Key Staff:  Daniel Hesse
