Marcia Moermond, Legislative Hearing Officer: The Council previously approved an
extension to the property owner to abate the nuisance, and this is about making a
finding on whether or not that has happened. It would then authorize DSI to clean up
the property and abate the nuisance. This is about trash and other materials that have
accumulated on the property (showed photos from the complaint). Last Tuesday,
October 4, was the deadline, and a legislative hearing was held. During that hearing,
the inspector submitted photos showing many of the items still in the yard, though
some has been removed (showed additional photos). A lot of it has not been
addressed though, so I recommend that you find that the nuisance condition has not
been abated and that DSI be authorized to clean up the property. The property owner
is here and I believe he will be asking for additional time. My recommendation is not to
grant additional time.
Fix: I apologize for the mess. I was planning to move and started collecting stuff but
then plans got put on hold because of the pandemic. I have made a lot of progress.
Most of the stuff is out of there and either gone or moved into the garage. I just want to
make sure that as much as possible can be kept out of a landfill to recycle, liquidate,
or give to charity. Hopefully I will be done in a couple weeks. I would like an extension
until the next month.
Council President Brendmoen: You would like an extension to November?
Fix: I apologize I didn't catch that. I have hearing issues.
Moermond: She clarifying that you are asking for an extension to November.
Fix: Yes.
Councilmember Balenger: This has gone on for a long time and we could be looking at
tough cleanup situation as the weather changes if we wait. I move approval of
Moermond's recommendation.
