Code
Enforcement,
The construction dumpster is
back on Sumac Ct.. This is the 4th
time, since May.
These folks are renters, who
obviously are not properly informed of our
City residential parking laws very well by
Code Enforcement, or else they would not
keep trying to illegally store/park
construction dumpsters on residential
property driveways and streets.
The home owners on
Sycamore Street and Sumac Ct. are tired of
the preferential treatment given to renters
over home owners.
It is causing animosity
against the renters in their neighborhood.
Some of these houses rent
out for 1 month at a time. Some houses
rent out for 6 months at a time. These
folks who short term rent will not know our
parking laws, and must be informed by Code
Enforcement, as that is the job these public
servants are paid to perform.
You do a horrible injustice
for part of our neighborhood by "cherry
picking", when to enforce our laws.
You give renters, who are
not property tax payers, better laws
enforcement than is given to property
owners/taxpayers.
You have destroyed our
neighborhood, due to your hatred of me.
You have pitted one neighbor
against the other on Sycamore St. and Ct.,
that is terrible law enforcement.
Just because you hate me so
much for reporting parking infractions, does
not give you the right to destroy
neighborhoods.
The bullying done to the
neighbors on Sycamore St. and Ct. is
sad. You have no empathy. I have
never seen anybody act this way in my life,
who is a civil public servant.
There is always a first time
for everything, as you folks have
proved. I hope you are proud of
yourselves.
I am sure this construction
dumpster that is illegally stored in a
private residential driveway in a
residential neighborhood will be moved
immediately to make sure our neighborhood
does not look like a commercial parking lot
for commercial vehicles to run businesses
out of private residential homes.
Sincerely,
Bev Beaufait

Chapter

PARKING AND LOADING [1]
Sec.
17.20.160. Motor

B. On
residential lots, no more than two
motor vehicles may be parked on
any area of the lot other than
within a fully enclosed structure
or on the paved driveway which is
intended for parking or access to
the garage or carport. A motor
vehicle which is parked or stored
on an improved surface adjacent to
a paved driveway, or in a rear

This is
from our Ethics Code
"Open Government & Ethics Pamphlet
2013
Other Ethics Rules of Interest
Page 7
It also
prohibits acts of advantage or favoritism
and, in that regard, prohibits special
considerations, use of employee time for
personal or private
reasons,
and use of City vehicles or equipment,
except in same manner as available to any
other person (or in manner that will
substantially benefit City)."
"Last
night we heard from the
owners of the
truck. It belongs
to a couple who recently
moved to Louisville and
who just purchased the
vehicle. The
husband and wife are a
little distressed about
why the selective
enforcement against
them. Commander
Kingston will speak with
them and convey our
assurances that this is
all quite routine and
innocent. "
This quote is
from a May 25, 2012 e-mail
to me from Bruce Goodman,
Police Chief. He knows
the rules. He applies
them when he wants. He
is a bully. He does
not do his job that he is
paid to do. He should
be fired on the spot.
If he did his job correctly,
the first time he contacted
the owners, he would not
be backed into a
corner to save face.
Now, he will not do his job,
just to try to prove he is
correct, when he is so very
wrong.
