Code enforcement starts at the very beginning, at the permitting process.  The recent denial of the 73 unit development on Atterberry Road is a prime example of what happens when codes and laws are bypassed or ignored.  

Code enforcement should continue throughout the development and construction process, ensuring that ALL laws, codes and policies are adhered too through the inspection processes of site development, foundations, framing, plumbing and electrical and lighting and landscaping.  If the site doesn't comply with laws, policies and codes then no occupancy permit will be issued...PERIOD.  

County inspectors need to stop their policy of "voluntary compliance" by developers and start doing the jobs they are paid to do, which is to ensure compliance with all codes, policies and laws.  

The county's laissez-faire  “Let (people) do (as they choose).”  attitude must stop.  We must hold each and every county commissioner and county head responsible and accountable.
