Specifically, as to the alleged violations in the follow-up: • There is no, and has not been, any open storage of dog feces, animal waste or anything on my property that would create offensive odor or a breeding ground for insects and rodents. Dog feces are picked up on a daily basis and are disposed of in a plastic bag which is placed in the regular trash pickup each week. • The photos recently submitted by the complainant show potting soil from a clay planter that blew over and broke during a windstorm a few months ago. We emptied the pot and spread the potting soil on the ground. The orange "poop scoop" is not used for picking up dog feces and there are no dog feces in the potting soil or surrounding area. • The fence section in the photo is in poor shape and has been for several years. It is not impacted by dog feces, as there are none. There is a storage shed on their side of the property that backs up to the fence and tends to trap rainfall runoff, which would lead to its deteriorating condition. • Since it is a shared fence, jointly owned by both my neighbor on that side of the property and me, I offered to split the cost with the neighbor to replace it a few years back (approximately 2022) when I was replacing the fence on the back of my property. They declined at the time and later had a handyman do some repair work (but not replacement) on part of the fence but not that section. • Attached to this email are photographs to document the conditions of my property. These represent not only the current conditions but also the past and ongoing conditions. I welcome an onsite inspection by the City of Tigard at any time to confirm my response and the conditions of my property. Thank you for your assistance in resolving this matter. If there are any questions, please contact me at (503) 360-3466 or gale.baird@gmail.com Yours truly, Frances Gale Baird Attachments (3)
