Ruminations upon odd moments in the hearing, in no particular order.
I wish I could convey how IMPORTANT that whole Citation #(mine) case file appeared to be. THICK, stiff, processed fiber multi-compartment folder. Each page carefully categorized, contained within its own compartment and secured with one of two types of holders: two holes at the top with the thin, flat metal bars, or the three-hole binder clasp with the moving metal clasps over the skinnier, thinner metal bands. Each page numbered, from one to thirty-two.
Oh, look! I now have another copy of my Grant Deed and the zoning district map plot for my specific property.
Even copies of the certified mail return receipts tidily attached to each copy of the notices and citation. Very organized.
Due to the economy, the six evidence photographs in the copies were merely black and white copies of printed photographs, two to a page. At least that's why I think all three folders weren't stuffed with 8x10, glossy color photographs.... without circles and arrows.
In the b&w copies, it was HARD to tell specific chickens apart from another. Oh, wait, there's one of the geese!
<*hard to type well laughing so hard*>
In my head, I thought "Oooooooh." However, I did treat the set of documents with appropriate Administrative Hearing respect. There's just no way one cannot think of "Alice's Restaurant." Especially when the Enforcement Officer was dressed very casually, I thought. Tan uniform pants, Hawaiian T-shirt tucked in into the trousers, tan uniform shirt unbuttoned and open.
Let's see, I am cramming, CRAMMING mind you, oh, say, 65 chickens onto .62 acre and this is over-crowding them, as they range freely "in that small of a space." Don't forget to add the "12 ducks and 1 goose." The actual COOP - not "stable" - is 17' X 20'. I wonder how many actual chicken coops that complainant has seen, or measured. Lessee, four square feet per bird, that means 85 chickens would fit. Hmmm. Still over 65....
Suitable homes? Something more suitable than nearly two thirds of an acre, a huge coop well secured at night? Obviously some place where the imaginary scent of chicken manure wouldn't waft across the street to destroy the complainant's inflated belief of how much his real property is worth? All the way down to "virtually worthless."
Could it be that said value dropped during the year my property was vacant, with the foreclosed signs all over the windows? When the weeds were tall and the garage looked like a stiff breeze would blow it down? When there was no fence, nor any gates?
The complainant's property lies down the slope, in a kind of hairpin space, between the road surface of our street and the county highway running parallel to it. Wonder if there may be a dead animal in that gully there? Or some bear poop.
Yah. Darn roosters. I can understand some folks don't like the sound of a rooster - or several roosters - crowing. But the only way Carl is going away is over my dead body.
Well, maybe my unconscious body...
Valuable rule: Once you know you have won, shut up. There's no need add anything, even information about what you were working on achieving , or, well ANYTHING. That's what "Quit while you are ahead" means, Linda!

Will CE have to come out every time your lame neighbor complains? Maybe HE will get fined if he keep complaining. I am really glad you won and that you can keep your animals at that porperty.
