- � � • Page 4 of 5 Exhibit I is Kevin Blackwell's letter responding to Joel Albracht's request for information on _ _-_ _ compliance with the SIC 0291 classification and was received by the City on 10-3-90. The one page letter is the only information he supplied. Kevin Blackwell's own evidence proves he did not have a nonconformingg use. His letter proves he completely failed to meet even John Armstrong's liberal invention of S C1 standards. Let's look: Kevin Blackwell starts with, "I would like to make you aware that one hundred percent (100%) of my income is derived from this property. I am self-employed and the.following is a list of the many ways which I make a living." Note: The nonconforming use permit is for outlot 420A only, NOT Outlot 419 he uses below. Of all the items he listed; the only items generating income from Outlot 420A were the weld shop and horse stalls and neither one of those can be classified under the definition of SIC 0291 "livestock and animal specialities and their products. Horse Animal specialities as defined in SIC 0291, page 29, requires " primary engagement in the production of horses and other equines. I acquired the entire City file for Outlot 420A including the entire confidential section and there is no evidence that Kevin Blackwell ever provided any evidence concerning the "value of sales" as -SIC 0291 and- John Armstrong required. "l . Commercial hay baleing." He Commercially baled hay on other peoples property, not Outlot 420A which was. grazed short from the multitude of animals concentrated on it. "2. Commercial tractor work (landscaping, backhoe, construction)." All of the Commercial tractor work was done on other peoples property, not on Outlot 420A. "3. Commercial welding both on the job and shop fabrication" I saw very little welding at the shop so most of the Commercial welding must have been done using the weld rig truck; which was used on other peoples property, not on Outlot 420A. "4. Raising of livestock for the purpose of sales. In the past year and. a half, I have had as many as thirty - .five (35) roping calves and twenty (20) roping steers on outlot 419 and 420 for the purpose of use in rodeos in the area." Basically he rented out his livestock forpeople to rope. The primary income wasgenerated at a rodeo arena through Commercial rodeo+sports, not from any animal specialities on outlot 420A and he has never had 55 head of cattle on Outlot 420A at the same time. If these excessive nw%bers of cattle were on outlot 419, then he violated the City Zoning Ordinance. "5.Outlot 420 hbi been used as a horse operation for the same period of time."... His horse operation was renting stalls and pasture for horses. This was a Commercial business. This violates the Zoning Ordinance for residential zone R-1 and is why he asked to be." rand fathered". This does not qualify under animal"specialities and is even strictly forbidden for agricultural exemption for property taxes (see exhibit.n Kevin Blackwell also stated in an October 2, 1990 letter to the. City that he had leased 55 acres ajoining his property for agricultural purposes. This also proves his statement about deriving 100 /o oT his income from this property' to be false. Kevin Blackwell proved with his own evidence that he did NOT even remotely qualify under SIC 0291. He also proved with his own evidence that his statement of 100% of his income coming from "this property" to be completely false. 3. * The City notified- Kevin Blackwell in writing on Nov. 30, 1993; that the use of his property .was controlled by Sec. 10-300.10 of Zoning Ordinance 1501 which limited the concentration of large. animals to 2 animals per acre.
