Dear Mr. Trejo.

I am writing this letter in response to a complaint I recently received
from
your office wherein you claim to have discovered items present upon my
property located at 1629 Cloverdale Road that are supposedly in
violation
of
State and County guidelines pertaining to solid waste storage and
disposal
as mandated per WAC 173-350 and Cowlitz County Code Title 15-30



One summer I spent every spare moment rebuilding a 1936 John Deere BR
tractor with intent to show it at a nearby collectors show. A day or two
after the show I received a letter from the city that they had received a
complaint that I was running a business out of my garage repairing
vehicles,
and no details were given except that an inspector would be out to check
things over. I called the city to see what the deal was and as it happened
the inspector showed up the day before we were to leave, while I was at
work. In my drive was my in-laws motor home, with a trailer attached with
my
tractor on it. This was told to me by the inspector with a chuckle! He
told
me not to worry about it was he knew what I had been up to. He asked me
about the tractor, the work I had done to it and so forth, just chit-chat.
He even asked me how the show went and said he had seen me there and had
taken some
pictures of my tractor.
For those interested,

Nice restoration work, Greg.

I'm scared that with the current average experience level of our local code
local enforcement personell , I would probly get cited because it has no
tires and so therefore is not roadworthy.

I have 8 acres here, adjoining me to the south is an 11 acre tract that's
being subdivided, and to the north are another 12 acres that have already
sold--the real estate market is just going plain nutz.in my area....maybe
time for me to move on to greener pastures, I spose..

The wife and I have actually kinda been considering maybe picking up and
moving up nearer to Harold's place--went up as far as the Toledo / Winlock
area and looked around a few weeks ago.....sadly, didn't find anything.

Harold, if your reading this--appreciate if you could keep an eye open and
let me know if you happen to see any place that might look promising...maybe
someplace south / southwest of you, 2~5 acres--prefererably fairly flat and
ideally having some small amount of year-round running water...though flat
land with some of the acreage having mildly wet, sandy or clay type soil is
okay too ( for geo source heating purposes )
