RE: — Citation #22-00000894-2
Dear Sir or Madam,
As noted in the referenced citation I would like to appeal the fine issued on or about
September 12, 2022.
I find the referenced violation to be overly broad (DCO 22-221v/ 2009 IPMC 302.7
Accessory Structures). Nonetheless I am working on repairs to my detached garage.
I have previously paid a fine to the City of Dover regarding this issue and have been
working with an ever-changing list of City staff relating to this matter. I was unaware
that at this point Mr. England found my progress to be unsatisfactory.
Further I have reviewed Appendix F - Fees and Fines section of the Code and I do not see
where a $200 fee is applicable in this situation.
Your assistance in resolving this matter is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
GIG C
