Director's Interpretation - Seperating Fact From Fiction

On Tuesday August 26th, the Planning Board is scheduled to vote for or against the Codification of Director's Interpretation 00-2. This Interpretation has been used to empower the City's code enforcement actions against single-family homeowners.

As many have pointed out, the Director's Interpretation mis-represents the actual code and/or improperly inserts wording into the City Code that does not exist in order to reach a desired conclusion. This makes the Interpretation legally unenforceable.

One of our supporters has submitted a detailed critique of the Director's Interpretation. It contains factual quotations of City Code in order to clarify the legal issues with the Director's Interpretation.

We have verified the Codes quoted in this analysis, and we recommend that the Planning Board reject the Codification of Director's Interpretation 00-2 and that the City cease all code-enforcement actions based on this Interpretation.
