A Contra Costa County order directing a water ski club to remove 28 unpermitted dwelling units plus docks and accessory structures has been upheld by the First District Court of Appeal.
Despite the fact that some of the structures have been in place for 40 years, the county has the authority to order their removal, the court ruled. The court rejected the ski club’s argument that the abatement order was a taking of private property and violation of constitutional rights, and the court denied the club’s request to limit the county’s abatement order.
