Here's a public update for people using scf. Yesterday Ron Gore met with this property owner after months of attempts. Not only did Tim White get away destroying this public property but he was told he could apply to takeover more of the greenbelt space. Maybe the real problems are the individuals running all these departments. These local officials tell complaintants what they wanna hear but have no spine to actually ENFORCE policy on behalf of the community. What a joke

Is it true that Ron Gore has told the landlord that he could legally turn greenbelt into his own property by paving it over? This is hard to believe. I know Ron Gore monitors See Click Fix. Ron, could you let us know what the status of this greenbelt is?

According to Ron Gore what you mentioned above is true. This would take away public parking. All I know is the parking lot was never zoned or permitted and the city officials are not loking out for the needs of the public in general.

smells of a personal gripe against the property owner.

Issue closed

Wait! To the best of my knowledge no city official has addressed any of the concerns mentioned here. Could Ron Gore please describe the permit that was issued and whether there has been any enforcement action against the landlord. Ron Gore stated to me that he doesn't read See Click Fix but Chapin Spencer (his boss) stated that that isn't true. Paving over greenbelt and enlarging curb cuts create a safety hazard for vulnerable pedestrians.

Please, let's hear from the head of our DPW on this issue. His word carries the weight of his department and we've hired him to manage all the department with its conflicting responsibilities. This issue had gone without an update for fourteen months as of today.

Inspector Miles from the Code Enforcement Department had the owner of the property remove the gravel and restore the greenbelt. The area that was covered with gravel now looks like the attached photo which was taken today.

I understand that you do not believe that any official from the city of Burlington addressed this issue. I assure you that city officials did act on this.

Mr. Gore no longer works for the City. Inspector Miles from the Code Enforcement Department has been filling in temporarily until a new DPW Right of Way inspector is hired.

Let me know if you have questions.

Thanks for your work on this. We truly appreciate the information and your very quick response.

Speaking strictly for for myself, it's not that I do not believe that this was not addressed. Yet without any comment, photo, or discussion from any official before the closing of an issue, I have absolutely no information on which to understand that it is or was addressed and toward what resolution. Mr. Ward, I do appreciate the work on this and especially your enlightenment on the resolution, otherwise obscured by its being closed without comment. Thanks!
