PROPERTY LAW

Reader agrees with other letter writer

Regarding the article in the Columbia Basin Herald on Aug. 13, "Moses Lake loses land use lawsuit," and the subsequent letter to the editor from Nicholas Mount, I agree this is really dumb and I'm surprised that anyone could hire an attorney to represent them on this type of issue.

I can understand why Mr. Mount would want the city manager and others fired. Obviously, Mr. Mount must have received some type of similar code violations from the city himself. I'm not sure how many vehicles Mount has on his Skyline Drive property, maybe 13?

Ultimately, it is up to the citizens of Moses Lake to decide how they want their city codes enforced and what they are willing to tolerate in the way of residential vehicle storage.

Maybe there should be no limit to the number of vehicles being stored in residential neighborhoods. Harry Ries represented the Holidays in fighting their city code violation. (I hope it cost them less than their infraction would have.)

If you have any reservations (no pun intended) about residential vehicle storage, you might want to voice your opinion to the city council, manager, etc. before they are all fired for "persecuting" Moses Lake residents.
