Craig,


How many people have come before the council seeking approval for thier new
rental properties.  My guess NONE.  However, there are people who are
renting.  Why are we not enforcing our own ordiances.

Also,  I remember that when a new home was constructed that a permit must be
displayed on the property while the building took place.  Does this also
apply to module homes.  There is one (I believe) being constructed across
the canal from me and no permit can be found anywhere on the property.
However, work continues on the foundation.  I also noticed that the rear of
this home is extremely close to the property line of the house adjacient to
it.  

I have had a couple of conversations with Kenny of the Lexington Homeowners
Association and we are concerned about our (the parish) lack of involvement
of the area inspectors on renovated homes.  There are reports out there that
some are being put back together with mud still in the walls.  With all the
concern about property values we need to make sure that everything is built
to code.  We need to get back on track with respect to the codes and
inspectors.  If we don't then we will slip back into the "same old/same old"
way of doing things.
