Statement of events
Parents Bought house on 2nd Street in 1974 due to Grandmother House for my father's mother
In the 80's there were variances given to multiple neighbors and "assumed", we were part of them
Dad retired with Orange County Register but passed in 1988
Mom worked 27 years for Tustin Stationers and is currently 87
Erik attended Helen Estock, Columbus Tustin and Tustin High
2018 we signed in support of the parking program
We filed for a permit and informed by Tustin PD office A Garzone our granny house was illegal.
1 week after office Garzones visit, we got a letter from the city demanding access
We hired family friend attorney David Nisson and we allowed the city to enter and inspect both houses
Received letter to tear down the back house, rebuild, and permit other items
My mother opened letter and fell down, injured her head and broke her wrist due to high blood
pressure
My sister (City of Anaheim employee) immediately spoke to Mrs. Binsack and told her we needed a
variance but we were denied
We hired Mr. Bennet (Architect) and he was able to show the back house structure was salvageable and
at great cost, we have gone through multiple rounds of plans including our plans going outside to a city -
outsourced architect for review.
With each review, more stipulations have been placed on us.
• Screen Air Conditioner on roof, Screen AC pipes, Make screen look like Stucco chimney. We had
several neighbors sign letters that our AC didn't bother them and turned over to city
• Screen my Noritz water heater
• Screen my water softener behind my side gate. (Cannot be seen from street)
• Permit and move a tin shed from Home Depot installed 25 years ago and move it.
• Move entire wall of garage for 6 inches (No variance)
Now that the plans are approved, plan check will not proceed unless we sign a letter that allows city to
enter property anytime, pay for any attorney fees and to be filed with county in perpetuity.
• City can show up anytime and demand entrance unannounced, No right against illegal search.
• No sunset clause
• Next owner will have to abide.
• Impacts property value.
Originally, the city asked us to edit the letter, which we did. Now they want us to sign it as written.

SUBJECT: PLAN CHECK # COMB R-2018-00299
CASE # CE -2018-0243
Dear Helen Lindgren and Erik Lindgren,
Since July 2018, City staff has been working with you to correct unpermitted construction at your
property. Thus far, you have been issued two administrative citations for failure to submit revised
plans within a reasonable period of time and to date, only two rounds of plan check have occurred.
On February 28, 2019, the second round of Building and Planning corrections were picked up and
revised plans have yet to be resubmitted.
Please be advised that this matter remains an active code enforcement case, therefore, it is
imperative that you get through the plan check process quickly, so the unpermitted construction can
be addressed. Given the delays in plan check, deadlines have been set for you through the
reminder of the plan check process and construction, as listed below.
You are hereby directed to submit revised plans under plan check # combr-2018-00299 by no later
than Monday, April 8, 2019.
Additional Deadlines:
• Plan check corrections shall be picked up within five (5) calendar days of City notification.
• Submittal of revised plans to the City shall occur within fourteen (14) calendar days of the
correction pick-up date.
• Upon approval of plan check, the permit shall be obtained within five (5) calendar days of
City notification,
• Upon permit issuance, all work shall occur and the permit must be finaled within ninty (90)
calendar days.
Failure to comply with this letter and any of the deadlines listed above will result in the issuance of a
one thousand dollar ($1,000.00) administrative citation. The City looks forward to your cooperation
in this matter and hopes that additional enforcement action will not be necessary, Should you have
any questions re6a?ding this letter, do not hesitate to contact me at (714) 573-3135,
Sin
