Illegal Duplex Dear Mr. and Mrs. Natividad: June 21. 1994 A site inspection of this house today indicated that. the range, hood, and refrigerator have been removed from the second kitchen downstairs as required by the zoning violation notice sent you on June 10. 1994. This brings the house into compliance with the Borough zoning code prohibiting duplexes on lots less that 7,200 square feet. It is recommended that you also see to the removal of the gas line from the propane tank outside which serviced the range, for safety and liability reasons as well as to eliminate the temptation to reinstall the range as part of a second kitchen sometime in the future. Your cooperation is appreciated. If you have any questions, please call me at 486-9362.

Lot 9 is a nonconforming lot since it contains only 5,981 square feet. Only a single-family dwelling is allowed on this property. as was peiinitted by the building peiinit (5227) issued in May of 1984 for the structure. In order to bring this structure into compliance, the kitchen must be removed from the second (downstairs) unit. "Kitchen," in this regard, is defined as meaning a refrigerator and range located near a sink and countered in an area clearly designed as a kitchen. Spaces created by the removal of the refrigerator and range must then be infilled with counter or cabinets, or otherwise utilized, to preclude reconversion to a self-contained kitchen in the future. There must also be open and unobstructed passage between the floors so that all rooms in the house have access to a single, communal kitchen. Doors between upstairs and down, even if they are designed as entry doors, cannot have locks As many as two (2) bedrooms in the house can be rented to boarders as long as there is only a single kitchen being used communally. As owner, please be aware, and make any prospective buyers aware, that this house cannot, under penalty of further zoning enforcement measures and. potentially, legal action. be used as a duplex, as it is currently designed or KodiaM Island Borough Tommy and Aurora Natividad June 10, 1994 Page Two Fconfguredq - We have no desire in this department to enforce zoning and jeonductrinspiections simply to accommodate the financing and sales of homes. In this case, a follow-up inspection will be required and ensuing compliance monitored. According to standard policy, a thirty (30) day deadline is established by administrative decision to bring your property into compliance. You have the opportunity to appeal the determination and/or the deadline should you wish. Therefore, failure to bring the property into compliance with borough ordinance by removing one kitchen, and ensuring unobstructed passage between upstairs and down, by July 10, 1994 will require that the file be forwarded to the Borough Attorney for further enforcement action. Failure to comply with the terms of this decision or to appeal the decision subjects you to the penalties of Section 17.75.030 of the Borough Code, which states in part: "A person who violates any provision of this Title, or order issued under 17.75.010.A...is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction is punishable by a fine of not more that three hundred dollars ($300). Each act or condition violating this title, and order issued under 17.75.O10.A.. and each day during which the act or condition exists...shall be a separate and distinct violation," Your cooperation in complying with these code requirements will be appreciated.
