Thanks for caring and reporting this issue. It was reported before but nothing was done but maybe with people watching this on see click fix, something will finally be done. There is no variance, just people doing whatever they want with no one enforcing zoning.

If you want to see something really outrageous, go look at the huge warehouse at the back of a single family residential lot at the corner of 6th Ave and 3rd ST. The slumlord that was reported numerous times built it behind a bungalow that he let get so bad that it had to be torn down. It is massive with air conditioners and an entrance that faces the back alley toward Governors DR. There is a dumpster that most likely goes with it. We do know it was built with no variance and there is some sort of illegal business activity taking place there in clear and blatant violation of zoning. We do not know who illegally constructed it in the first place but Strickkand Paper sends large trucks over there to load and unload. This ugly eyesore is a clear and illegal burden on a historic neighborhood that will be unable to revitalize as long as these type of things are allowed to go on.

Hopefully this time it will be taken seriously and with it posted for others to see and follow. Sometimes reporting to everybody you can. Zoning , Bill Kling, Legal .. squeaky wheel gets attention at some point.... waiting to see what happens with the development that's supposed to happen. Thanks for confirming no variance ... I have seen them get torn down when Mac was still around

They were all told. McCutcheon was ok but no enforcement there but at least he was better than Hulan Smith. It shouldn't take flipping new development to enforce the ordinances. All that will indicate is that the people living here now don't deserve to be treated fairly by having the law upheld. It is a disgrace.

Document all you can .. I have friends who are news reporters in other large cities :-). I will ask them best way to try and get some small national blogger , news, or documenting columnist to do an article " Rocket city SLUMS ". Has an eye catching title ... 😜😜

Won't be the first time Lowe Mill Village has received press outside the city limits to get action. It has been awhile but it can always happen again! I assume you are from Westlawn, there are issues up there too!

Yea ,, Westlawn and Lowe are straight shot from each other ... what happens in yours can happen in ours. And vice versa

Zoning Administration will have an inspector check this request. Thanks for notifying us of this matter.

These things are horrible looking ... I saw this and reported couple more today ...

Zoning Administration has check this property and has determined this carport is considered non-conforming structure. Thank you for your concerns.

Thanks for fixing this issue!
