Good Morning Frances,
We've received multiple email statements in support of the complainant's claims regarding the presence of dog
waste on your property(see statements included below).
Given the totality of these claims, it would seem prudent to conduct a site inspection of your property to confirm
current conditions. Please let me know what time works best for you to stop by.
If you have any questions,feel free to call me at 503-718-2581.
Thank you for your continued assistance and compliance.
Best regards,
Ken
1) My wife and I attended a barbecue at his residence on Saturday 6/14/2025. There was a strong
odor of dog waste coming from the neighbors yard. When I brought it up he explained what had
been going on and showed us a large pile that had been put up against the fence. It did not look or
smell like dirt.
2) My neighbor has been having an issue with our mutual neighbor's dogs at 14165 SW 116th
Terrace.After asking her to control her dogs barking, she started collecting her two dogs'waste
along their shared fence. I have seen the pile as described and can smell it from his porch. He has
an open case NCC2025-00115. The pile of waste has been there for months. I can confirm the pile
is there as of today and is slightly covered in potting soil.
Please see pics the waste up against the fence taken today.
Please let me know if you need any additional information or how to proceed with my own
complaint regarding the ongoing barking issues.
3) I was at my cousin's house this Saturday for a barbecue and I noticed a very pungent smell of dog
waste. To be fully honest, it ruined the excitement we had for grilling up for this Father's Day
weekend. When talking with Jung he mentioned that it has been going on for quite some time now.
I can full corroborate his claims as I visually saw the 6 foot mound of pet waste in the back yard.

Hello Ken,
I thought it might be useful, for documentation purposes, for you to have a photo of the
clay planter that blew over in the windstorm.The timestamp on the photo shows the photo
was taken on the morning of Friday, March 14, 2025. The planter was beyond repair and
that's why it was discarded and the potting soil moved to a spot next to the fence.
Regards,
Frances

Hello Ken,
Please see attached letter and photos.
Briefly, the photos submitted by the complainant are of potting soil from a large clay
planter that blew over in a windstorm a few months ago.The potting soil was emptied on
the ground as mulch and the pot was discarded. There are no dog feces in the potting soil
or in that area. The orange "poop scoop" is not in use and has no fecal matter on it,
although it does have some normal garden soil.
Regards,
Frances Baird

Good morning Ken.That appears to be grass clippings but I will check into it today and
reply as soon as possible. I am currently not at home but my granddaughter will be there
later today.
For some additional information and context, the fence in that spot is not in good shape
and hasn't been for years. It's a joint fence on the side between our properties. They have
3
a storage shed that backs up against it. I offered to replace that section a few years ago
and split the cost with the neighbor when I replaced the back fence in my yard, but they
declined.

Frances
