Update Dec 21, 2003

Mr. Avery has no place to move the house to. It boils down to the County Inspector claiming that the house is a "blight" in his view. And should therefore be removed from the premises. Here is the latest letter:

I think this cartoon states the point very well.

Thanks for the updater. I was wondering about it.

Sounds like they are still willing to meet with the attorney to work out a solution.

My impression from this and previous info you posted is that their major issue is that they consider the mobile home a "blight", so this is the issue to address.

I really think it wouldn't be too costly to put up some 8 ft green canvas screen on some posts, to hide the mobile home from view. I think this offer should be made to the Building inspectors. Or put up some "fence-like" structure, upon which some green vines would grow -- in fact, this may even be better and more natural looking. Or Grow some bushes tall enough, to hide the mobile home. I think the attorney should meet with the people at the Building Inspectors office and make this offer.

I am almost willing to bet that they would accept a solution like this. This shouldn't be too much for your friend, and would satisfy the building inspectors. Otherwise I think ultimately they will take his trailer.

Please pass on to him my suggestion and keep my posted on what's happening.
