    Another interesting site near the community center - any info?

    Does anyone have any info?

    Emerald Paving is one business there by the Community Center...Does anyone know anything about the history of the converted house 2 doors east of the community center where they appear to be running a commercial construction or labor business of some sort?? This popped up in the past year and I have the sneaking suspicion they also didn't obtain any permits for this. It is where they post outside whether they are hiring or not and at least 50 cars get parked on the premises a day. Any information would be appreciated. If we need to get after that one as well we better !

    Kathy,

    Sorry I don't have any information. However is there something we need to complain about? Traffic or lots of cars parking over our well water would be enough to start the county process going.

    -- Enjoy,

    There are lots of cars and activity there on a daily basis..trucks too. I think it's gravel at the moment. I'll take a closer look on my way home today. I think we should at least inquire as to what this is and if it is legitimate. I feel badly for the personal residence right next door as well as for the mobile home park residents. Without a file # or the like I am not sure where to start with the County. Kathy

    Pacific Landscape Management, just east of the Maltby Community Club on 206 th Street, has been there for two years without permits.

    They have done the "Midnight Business" routine by converting a house into offices, building maintenance and washing facilities, grading and filling over 5 acres, have light and heavy equipment as well as trailers, and have no landscaping (ironic for a landscape company).  Kathy Wilson and I are sending in complaints.

    That house used to be a rental, and I occasionally had to go over and ask for a party to quiet down. The building next door was light industrial with a negligible (>10) traffic impact. When Pacific Landscape came in, I thought the tenants next door would complain ... until I saw that PL had taken over the house as well. Now it's clearly the office for the business. It's interesting that there is no signage or contact info posted outside; we see the business' name only by the trucks returning in the afternoon.

    That being said, they aren't overly noisy. After a couple requests by me, the employees have shown the courtesy of not idly blaring their stereos in the parking lot. The number of employee cars appears to be about 30-40 [or so I found in a random count this moment]. The main traffic impact is 4:30-5:00 pm when the employees leave.

    I'm not thrilled about it, but I don't know that they're exceeding their zoning. However I would welcome information as to where complaints would be sent -- and where the "Maltby Alliance" holds meetings (if open to all  concerned Maltby residents)

    Hi Joe,

    The next Maltby Neighborhood Alliance Meeting is Monday, Nov 23 at 6 PM at the Maltby Community Club and everyone is welcome.  We will have the County Code Enforcement people there to answer questions. 

    Pacific Landscaping has received a Notice of Violation from the County for about 5 violations and their compliance date is Dec 4, 2009.  Please attend the next meeting to find out more information.
