I purchased my home in 2005 and have dealt with harassment from my next door neighbor regarding parking my motor home in my "MLS stated" parking, located on my property.
Prior to the purchase of my home, I was very specific with my real estate agent, only having three specific requirements in my search besides square footage and number of bedrooms; 1. No HOA or Mello Roos, 2. RV onsite parking, 3. A pool. According to said agent, the MLS listing for this home as well as the MLS listings for several other homes also for sale in this neighborhood, also advertised on site RV parking.
I have twenty-three documented incidents of harassment against my next door neighbor with more than half of them involving my motor home. I have received a First Notice of Violation from the City of Calimesa April 9, 2007 which was addressed and resolved due to the CMC code sited did not apply to my situation (Section 12.8.05 (a)(2)): My motor home was operative and frequently used. Now, I received an Administrative Citation again addressing my motor home, with a new CMC code, 12.4.04(b)(2).
Attempting to resolve this issue, I was informed by the city official that the City is NOT pro-active in looking for and also issuing code violations. The only reason that I am receiving one according to this official is because of the constant complaints of my next door neighbor. I asked if this was to be enforced within my housing track and/or citywide and I was told no, only if there are complaints.
I have contacted my real estate agent only receiving assistance with verification that my home was listed in the MLS, stating it provides on site RV parking. I have researched the county Assessors records but these records lack such wording. I have called my homeowners insurance company verifying my policy includes on site RV parking but I am unsure if that would even assist me in this matter.
I see this as severe harassment of a neighbor who should be living in a HOA environment, I feel this is discrimination for not enforcing this with my neighbors whose homes provide the same type slotted spot to park their RV's and also for not enforcing this citywide, however when attempting to enforce specific situations, as mine the City uses this as standard city municipal code requirements. I have searched high and low for a "grandfather clause" wording within the city municipal code and found 12.8.03(2)(b), however I have not been able to get verification and or feedback if such applies and could be my defense.
I was informed that I could present my case to the board but I have not provided the manner in which such is to be presented. I was told to give any material that you think might help you.
I appreciate your time in this matter and any assistance and/or advice on how to proceed.
