Quote:Ausman, through his attorney, Patrick Wong, filed suit in 2023 against the BOA and former Public Works Director Stephen Pause, alleging the county’s Electronic Processing and Information Center system, known as EPIC, had trapped him in a permitting Catch-22 that would allow him only to demolish his home, not to remodel or live in it.
According to DPW, the revocation of the remodeling permit for the home at 88-129 Kai Ave. was based on the expiration of a building permit issued in 1987 that was allegedly absent a final inspection of the shoreline cottage, which was completed in 1989.
I'm glad they gave the name of the attorney (Patrick Wong) who won the case. Sooner or later, a normal citizen can be feel overwhelmed / intimidated by government officials.
