The only appeals process she sees heKe is for the penalties. She thinks that there <br /> should be some sort of appeals process in the ordinance to some authority above the authority <br /> of the County Manager. She asked how many times someone's address could change and <br /> how often. She went through the document and made specific comments. <br /> On page 9 under Methodology, she asked how addresses would be assigned south of <br /> Calvander. The ordinance still does not specify where the north-south axis is located between <br /> Calvander and the Chatham County line. Also, under item E-2, she asked for more specificity <br /> regarding a building that is more than 75 feet from any road. <br /> On page 11, section VI, B-2 and B-3, regarding the notices, she said that the notices of <br /> violation and citations should be consistent with the notice of violation. <br /> On page 12, regarding, "the County Attorney may enforce this article by any one or <br /> more of the remedies," she suggested that it be listed what these remedies are. Also, in item <br /> D, she saad that there should be a place for an appeal in this area. <br /> Chair Pelissier asked if Commissioner Gordon meant an appeal for the penalty or also <br /> for an addrsss change. <br />
