Hi Anita,

Has DSL been out to these properties for a site visit yet and if so, what was the determination?

Hi Anita,

I’ve attached property reports for both properties that has the ownership information. They are owned separately. We’ve been more focused on 102 but are also taking (a smaller) code enforcement action against the SW property for their removal of a tree.

Best,

Hi Dan,

The tax lot 102 is mapped on the LWI as Forested Wetlands. Based on past aerial photos, it’s pretty clear it is still within that classification. The land just to the south-west that was cleared also is probably wetland also, but I’d need to go out and check. That other parcel is not on the LWI, but based on the topography and landscape I’d wager it’s got features. So, now, does DSL have any jurisdiction? It’s kind of hard to say because I can see that they’ve definitely removed vegetation and likely graded, they also put down gravel-and it’s very possible they’ve exceed the 50CY limit give the size of the work.

I’m going to open a complaint file and send them a letter saying I need a site visit, and to stop any additional work until I’ve gotten out there and assessed the situation.

Do you have ownership information on the two parcels? I’d assume they’re under the same ownership. If not, I can get it, but the more info you can provide me the better.

Thanks Dan,

Hi Anita,

This is in regards to the (unaddressed) property that we spoke of in Molalla where the owner cleared and graded without a permit. OR Map Number is: 0305.00S02.00E07D0—0000. It may have some wetlands violations as there is known wetland on the northern portion of the property and the southern portion was not assessed in our inventory.

The Google aerials that I’ve provided show a view of the southern portion of the property from 4/15/2015 (uncleared) and 7/23/2016 (cleared).

Let me know if we can provide you with anything else.

Best,
