Hearing examiner grants June continuances for three City of Bremerton code-enforcement matters
Summary
The hearing examiner granted continuances to a June hearing for three notices of violation involving businesses at Wheaton Way and Lebo Boulevard after the city requested more time to work with owners on compliance.
The City of Bremerton hearing examiner granted continuances to a June hearing for three code-enforcement matters after the city said it was working with business owners to resolve permitting and occupancy issues.
The continuances were granted during the hearing examiner’s morning session on April 28. The city requested continuances for case C250059 (Shaolin Mixed Martial Arts, 4060 Wheaton Way, Suite C), C250061 (Olympic Marmot Health, 560 Lebo Boulevard) and C250110 (Mike Gribben Agency, 4040 Wheaton Way). The city representative said staff have been in contact with the businesses and are working on bringing them into compliance. The hearing examiner granted the continuances to the June hearing date; the city’s presenter, Mr. Cohen, clarified during the hearing that the intended June date was June 23.
Why it matters: continuances give the city and property owners time to resolve permitting and occupancy issues outside a formal enforcement ruling. The hearing examiner’s action pauses adjudication of the alleged violations while permitting and licensing staff continue outreach.
Officials and next steps - The matters were continued at the hearing examiner’s discretion; no formal vote by a legislative body occurred. The continuances were granted with the record reflecting the city’s ongoing communications with permitting and tax/licensing staff. - The hearing examiner closed the morning session and scheduled the three matters for the June hearing date noted in the record.
Votes at a glance - C250059 — Notice of violation issued to Shaolin Mixed Martial Arts, 4060 Wheaton Way, Suite C. City requested continuance to June; Mr. Cohen said the intended date is June 23. Outcome: continuance granted by the hearing examiner. - C250061 — Notice of violation issued to Olympic Marmot Health, 560 Lebo Boulevard. Outcome: continuance granted by the hearing examiner; city reported contact with permitting and tax/licensing staff. - C250110 — Notice of violation issued to Mike Gribben Agency, 4040 Wheaton Way (occupancy permit issue noted). Outcome: continuance granted by the hearing examiner.
The hearing record shows the continuances were granted to allow further work between city staff and each business; no final enforcement determinations were made at the April 28 session.
