Findings: The City classified Respondents’ pig as a pet, not requiring a special permit. In September of 2014, Complainants called police to complain about offensive odor of feces coming from Respondents’ yard and to ask about what they could do.  Offensive odor of feces and flies recur in Respondents’ yard. Respondents have allowed accumulation of feces to occur in their yard in a manner that creates a nuisance.  Respondents’ travel out of town for several days at a time, leaving their animals at home. Respondents were aware of odor complaints before issuance of the Order. Respondents were aware of their obligations under PGMC §10.08.050 before issuance of the Order. Respondents were informed of possible methods of abating the nuisance on more than one occasion. Respondents improperly disposed of animal waste in their yard waste bin.  There is no direct evidence addressing how Respondents’ animal waste might become a danger to the environment in accordance with PGMC §9.16.110, waste disposal prohibition.
