Supervisor Ken Vogel 8/2512011 30f3 workers performing cultivation activities on the Galeazzi walnut orchard.They had never set foot onto the VanDykes'property. CONCLUSION The VanDykes pose a danger to themselves as well as others.Without a proper emergency access road they are exposing themselves and San Joaquin County emergency responders to undue safety hazards which could lead to loss of life.To date,however,they have failed to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy from San Joaquin County and are continuing to occupy their residence illegally. Moreover,their antiquated and improperly located septic system continues to jeopardize the Galeazzis'walnut orchards and livelihood. The Van Dykes'failure to comply with their obligations leaves the Galeazzis with no choice but to look to San Joaquin County to properly enforce its codes or assume the responsibility for not enforcing them.More specifically,the Galeazzis respectfully request that the County immediately take all required steps to prohibit the Van Dykes from illegally occupying their residence and continuing to expose San Joaquin County and others to substantial liability. The question now is whether San Joaquin County will condone such illegal conduct or require the Van Dykes to first obtain their Certificate of Occupancy.Since 2005,the Van Dykes have been given every opportunity to obtain the necessary approvals for their occupancy,but they have failed to do so.They do not have the right to continue to flout San Joaquin ordinances, jeopardize the safety of emergency personnel and expose the County and the Galeazzis to unacceptable tort liability. Thank you for your assistance in this urgent matter. cc Mr.and Mrs.Galeazzi San Joaquin County Community Development San Joaquin County Public Works David VanDyke,Esquire
