Hi Erica,
We received your last two emails regarding the reported property.Just to clarify, per the Home Occupation Permit,the
reported party is allowed to have two commercial vehicles.They claim the other vehicles are personal vehicles and the
respondents indicated they intend to move one of the vehicles off site to a rented space. Included below is their latest
response.
If you have any questions, please call me at 503-718-2581.
Thank you for your continued patience and assistance,
Ken
We are waiting for the parking storage spot to park the truck(1 am still gathering information about the truck)
because after talking to a lawyer it seems that the Truck is not an oversized vehicle and it might be within the
limits,it is not as loud as the complaint states. The truck gets started at 7:10, 7:15 J leaves at 7:20 or 7:25 comes
back until 5, 6 or 7pm the truck doesn't come and go through the day, it is away all day. In the meantime 1 gather
more information. I already requested a storage spot, as soon as I get it 1'll let you know.
SundayW! We clean the trucks, we water the plants, turn on sprinkles,we walk our dogs, we wake up every
morning at 5am 7 days a week, but we wait until 7:20 or 7:30 or 8am to start our outdoor activities, there is no
harm, we don't operate any equipment, we don't turn on any mowers, no vacuums in the morning, we mow the
yard until 2 or 4pm so we don't bother, a neighbor few houses from us mows his yard at gam, but is no big deal,
we understand.
The complaint keeps mentioning multiple vehicles, We are allowed 2 trucks for the business as I mentioned on
the home business application. As a resident I can park multiple vehicles if 1 need to,(not the case 1 have 4
vehicles only)as long as the vehicles are properly parked. We have 2 trucks for the business, a Ford and the
dumptruck, my own personal truck. My nephew's car is parked every morning at a neighbor's house on Brookside
Place St.As she offered to us, (not at our property like the email states)sometimes he comes to go with J(it is
clear if he volunteers 1 need to pick him up)but sometimes he comes to watch my kids or play with them. This will
end at the end of this month, because he goes away for school.
It is absolutely impossible to live like this,for one single neighbor that keeps complaining, I have done things in
consideration,(not because any of this was a violation)starting the truck at 7:10 not earlier, redirected the
sensor lights, not turning on the main entry of the house light anymore, asked a family member not to come in
the mornings, a piano teacher not to park at front(once a week) We will have to pay$2,460 for the truck
storage. There is no harm at all to any neighbor, to the city, the truck is never left parked on the street, always on
the driveway, a garbage truck that comes at 6:am is 10 times louder than this med size truck.
Starting next week my nephew won't be coming anymore, very stressful for him as well.
Is this legal?That a neighbor emails the city of tigard for a car that is properly parked with the owner's
permission, and doesn't even drive by the neighbor's house that is complaining?
Is this legal?that the neighbor keeps sending pictures, that will be exposed to the public where the individuals
are not doing anything inappropriate?
J doesn't feel comfortable anymore, having pictures taken of him at his own property.

We can go on and on, how we are doing everything to be compliance, it's very complicated when the neighbor
gives false information or exaggerates, there has to be some maturity when living across from each other, this
neighbor has 5 vehicules 3 med size, 1 work/construction van and 1 ford truck(which has the right to park as
many as needed) my point here is that, when 1 see their vehicles parked on the street not their driveway 1 go to
the other street brookside place to park, (initiative to make the city we live at a better place)so we don't block
the brookside Ave, because our houses are right in front of each other.
