A different standard

Must the law be equally applied to all?
Or is there a double standard?
In Ivins there is.
I’m being held to a different standard by the town government of Ivins.
This photo was sent to me in a violation notice:
The Developer next to me doesn’t like these “high profile” items showing over my 6 foot fence.
He complained and the town administration seems to favor anything a developer says.
On two occasions, Dale Coulam (town manager) has mentioned that on my farm nothing can be
“high profile” meaning seen over the top of a six foot fence. Vehicles and storage sheds.
Once Kevin Lameka(Zoning department) said those things that are “higher elevation”.
Once Brettt Kee (the developer) talked of “high profile” items on my farm.
The ordinance says nothing about this.
A six foot or five foot fence is allowed, nothing about things showing over those fences.
This is a singling out and harassment of me over something that exists throughout Ivins.
The law is not being applied properly.
I’m being held to a different standard.
Following are photos of other such high profile items in Ivins at various locations, all visible over the tops of fences. Is there any difference from the photo of my property and the others?
The law must be equally applied to all individuals for government to function properly.
However many in the town government, zoning department etc. seem to believe that the law only applies to certain parties depending on their wealth and those not paying for favors.
Do you think it’s okay to apply the law anyway the town wants to?
If you think this is not right, what will you do about it?
Will you allow it to continue?
Contact your councilmen and complain. @ http://www.ivins.com/home/contact-us/
And here a picture of a trailer on the property of the developer who made the complaint about high profile trailers etc of my property, (meaning visible over fences. and others through out Ivins.
