You know they can't prove he ever got the letter unless it was served or
sent (and signed for) by certified or registered mail.

Subject: Re: Storage of computer and parts in the residential area
Geez...just when you think you've heard it all. This is taking those
neighborhood zoning restrictions a bit too far. Obviously, the
neighbor has
too much time on their hands. Good luck getting it worked out Mike.

I am so steamed right now, buried in my junk mail
I just found a letter
from the city of Orange where I live. (peoples republic of California)
Notice of violation and order to comply
* Storage of computer and parts in the residential area
Apparently some neighbor had a inspector come over and peek in my windows
last week, and sure enough I do have a few computers stacked around right
now. The gist of the complaint is that while I comply with all the noise,
parking, etc. they want me to have a "Home Occupation Business
License"
and
restrict my storage to 500 cubic feet in an
enclosed garage.
Now I guess I have to agree the home is occupied with computers, but my
first reaction is that it is strictly a hobby, no business
activity goes on
at all. Before I say anything though I am going to
go and read Orange
Municipal Code 17.14.050(H) in the morning.
I love the arrogance of these people too, giving me 14 days to comply. My
guess is that at best this will be a big PITA, since it kind of
hamstrings
