Cobb code enforcement

A former long-time tenant of the property confirmed it historically had a resident, called the fence inappropriate for the scenic corridor, and noted an overflow parking agreement.

Said the fenced-off property undermines community character and wildfire evacuation education events that have used that space, urging the board to weigh the whole community.

Said the hearing had drifted beyond the actual violations and gotten personal, and suggested Vice Chair Pyska may have a conflict given her confrontation with the appellant.

Defended references to Valley Fire recovery as sober context, saying the Cobb commercial center is critical to rebuilding the whole community.

Questioned whether complaints against the owner came from real constituents or were influenced by Supervisor Pyska, and said the hearing felt like a community regulation hearing rather than code enforcement.

Asked whether the owner has been told he could request a rezone at no cost during the current general plan update.
