ENFA010 Complaint received / / / / 03/26/98 03/26/98 TLG
ENPA900 Telephone call / / / / 03/30/98 Doug Neyhart called and said that he TR 03/30/98 TLG
feels his neighbors called this in as
retaliation due to a civil suit between
the parties in which Doug won. Doug
stated the fence will be below 61.
ENFB002 Site investigation 03/26/98 03/27/98 03/27/98 Went to Neyhart Farm and met with Patty DONE TR 03/30/98 TLG
Scott. She is the girlfriend of Doug.
She took me to the fence area. Some of
the posts are high but they will be cut
later. She indicated if they go over 6'
they will get a permit.
ENFCO03 Complaint Invalid / / / / 03/30/98 Pursuant to Mason County Building TLG 03/30/98 TLG
Department interpretation memo by Mike
Byrne, copy attached to complaint, the
measurement is to be taken from the
owners property, not the adjacent
property. Note: There is an elevation
change between the parcels so it appears
the measurement is larger than 61.
