During a recent government meeting, officials discussed ongoing violations related to a property that has faced multiple issues, including unauthorized tree removal and site plan amendments. The property was previously cited for violations concerning a mobile home, floodplain development, and pipeline conditions.
In April, a site visit revealed that significant changes had been made to the property, including grading and layout alterations, prompting the issuance of a new violation for floodplain development. Officials noted that the property owners, represented by planner Shannon Lee and branch manager Jose Zepeda, are currently working on a comprehensive site plan amendment to address these violations, including the removal of trees without permits.
The meeting highlighted the necessity for a new site plan to rectify the violations, as the existing conditions were not met. Specifically, the property lacked the required buffer zones and failed to conduct necessary inspections. The officials emphasized that the resolution of these issues hinges on the approval of the site plan amendment, which must include a mitigation plan for the tree removal.
As part of the proceedings, it was confirmed that the town is seeking a fine of $2.50 per day for noncompliance, with a status update expected in 60 days regarding the application for the site plan amendment. The representatives from BrightView expressed their commitment to resolving the issues, noting that they have engaged with city staff and are preparing to submit the necessary documentation.
The meeting underscored the importance of adhering to local regulations and the ongoing efforts by property owners to rectify past mistakes while navigating the complexities of compliance and mitigation.
