Gloucester, VA Container Use Ordinances and Codes Updated

17 Courthouse Area, Container in the back visible from the highway.  

Closer view of the container on the left back side.

Route 17 south, Ordinary.  Container to the left in back.  Visible from highway.

As the one directly above only more of a side view.

Route 17, south, Gloucester Point.  Container next to billboard.

Route 17 South.  Container barely, but, still visible from highway behind shop.

Route 17 South, Container sticks out just enough from side of building to be seen from highway.

Route 17 South.  One container stuck out from side of building just enough to be visible from highway.  When we went back behind area this is what we saw.  4 Containers.

Route 17 South.  S&B Muffler and Brakes.  To the right of the building behind little dumpster.  Very visible from highway.

Again, we are not picking on any business by any means.  The board of Supervisors are looking at ordinances that will affect the future use of containers on any property in the county.  At the moment, every single one of these businesses are in violation of county ordinances.  The county does not enforce these ordinances in any way unless of course, you are foolish enough to ask for the county's permission.  Best advice?  Do not ask for permission, just do it.   If you get questioned, refer them to this site.

October Gloucester, VA Ordinances In Violation of State Code

Sec. 3-14. Use of fireworks causing injury to animals.

It shall be unlawful to set off or use any fireworks that result in an injury to any animal caused by direct contact with the fireworks or if the animal injured itself from fear of the fireworks.

  Sounds like a decent ordinance.  If it could be enforced, it would be.  Problem is, it has no parallel in state code that we can find.  Also, we tested this and the county can not nor will not enforce it.  What they have done in the past is send out Sheriff's deputies to try and witness an event.  The deputies only stay so long and if they do not see anything themselves, there is nothing they say that they can do about it.

  In other times, officials have instead sought to attack those who reported the issues.  ???  No joke.  Dig through this site and you will eventually find confirmation on this.  (Clue, go back a few years and dig through posts after the 4th of July).    It's hard to argue against an ordinance that for all intents and purposes seems very logical and in the best interests of the people.  But when it has no basis in state code, it has no business being there in the county ordinances.   It's once again Gloucester officials making up their own nanny state rules at their own whim and pleasure which do not serve the common good of the people even if it appears to.

   Below is the link to the Virginia state codes as they apply to animals.  Check for yourself to see if you find any parallel.  http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?

In less than one hour, the Gloucester Board of Supervisors meeting will begin.  At this meeting, they will only be addressing one ordinance in violation of state code while there are many that remain in violation of state code and they are aware of a number of these violations.  There are a lot of questions about these people voted in that we expected to represent us and instead have made it a choice to misrepresent us at so many levels.

Criminals with no regard for the law

English: Detail of Preamble to Constitution of the United States (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Open Letter to the Citizens of Gloucester County Virginia

“For the Common Good. “

The Virginia Constitution was written for us to limit the government intrusion into our lives.  Have you ever read the Constitution of the United States?  How about the Constitution of Virginia?

Why is it that the County Jester who serves as the Board of Supervisors Public Affairs Officer, Court Jester, and County Attorney in his spare time, can send a reply to Mr. Thompson within hours when Mr Thompson presented one of the county codes as in violation of the Dillon Rule and he has not replied in over two weeks when Mr Thompson shows the County is in violation of one of the codes?  He must be real busy Jestering!  The violation of the animal control code Mr Thompson pointed out to the county would have any of us in court if we violated this code.  See his story for details.  However, the county is giving itself a by “Criminals with no regard for the law” and the rule of law.  If we had an educational system in Gloucester I bet the Middle School civics class could do a better job running the county. They know not to break the rules and laws and would not let county employees run personal errands on county time in county vehicles. Maybe before the new swamp school sinks into the Muck they can teach classes of value?  I heard you can make a bet in Los Vegas that the length of time we will pay for the bond will outlast the swamp school.

Based on the actions of this Board it appears they have total contempt for the Virginia Constitution, Virginia Code, and the US Constitution. We need to ensure anyone we elect to the Board is willing to follow the oath of office and believes in constitutional law. This is the same type of behavior we can expect if we reelect anyone that was a former Board member or previously on the school board.

I look forward to Mr Thompson’s next county code violation since the board is not willing or able to fix the illegal code  it is nice to see someone show the kind of oath breakers we have representing us on the board.  Bring back the rule of legal laws and make this "The Land of the Life Worth Living" for everyone in the county.

I am not a lawyer and cannot give legal advice.  Our founding fathers used common sense and Christian scripture when establishing our founding documents. 

“For the Common Good. “

Sincerely,

Alexander James Jay

Gloucester Board of Supervisors Still Out of Compliance.

We just checked the Gloucester Animal Control ordinances site again and noted that it is still out of compliance with what the Board of Supervisors voted and approved it to be.  We are talking about ordinance 3-15, the title is way out of compliance.  It's become typical not to trust county officials to do their jobs properly.  The above video is more of an audio file.  It's an actual 911 audio recording that was presented in a Gloucester Animal Control court case.

 There are so many things wrong with the above audio it is not even funny.  Holli Cahoon, owner of the local Sunrise Donuts on route 17 south, George Washington Mem Hwy, was the 911 operator at that time.  She couldn't even keep her testimony on this audio straight.

  We had the above audio checked out by  a professional 911 operator in another area.  She told us so many areas where the audio was in violation of prescribed procedures for 911 incoming calls that the list is just to large to go over in this post.

  Listen to it several times, how many issues can you pick up?  We have a large number of files like this on the county.  It does not surprise us that they have no regard for actual laws and seem instead to just make them up as they go along.  Their sworn oaths meaning nothing.  

The youtube video was previously hidden on the site, we have now made it public along with a number of other issues we have found with Gloucester County  audio files.  The public has a right to know.

Gloucester, VA Free County Poster - Leading By Example Breaking County Ordinances

http://library.municode.com/HTML/10843/level3/SUHITA_APXBZO_ART6AHICOOVDI.html  This link will take you to Gloucester County Ordinance Section 6 and you will want to view 6A-7 Landscaping.  There you will see what the requirements are for any commercial property along route 17 that must be met in order to be in compliance with this ordinance.

  What makes this poster satirical and funny, (based on your sense of humor of course), is that the building in the above picture is a county owned garage along route 17 and does not meet the counties own compliance standards.  That's the county leading by example.  Everyone else has to meet the county code ordinances so why isn't the county setting the example of what they expect everyone else to follow?

  You are free to print this poster out, makes all the copies you want, share it with others, sell copies, make T-Shirts from it if you want, use it in print even commercially, no royalties or payments need to be made at any time.  Use it on your own web site.  Have a blast with it.

Download the full size version here pre sized at 17x22.  Smaller prints will work as well.  https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5NJpRCvjyV8V3JzbEFzRFhkYkE/edit?usp=sharing
