Golf Manor Village officials deny appeal of condemned property, 3-1

Golf Manor Village officials voted 3-1 to deny an appeal by a property owner after concluding the house had been condemned for more than a year and remains uninhabitable.

Board member 1 moved to deny the appeal “based on the fact that it was condemned for over a year,” a motion later amended to add that the denial reflected both the prior condemnation notice to the previous owner and the board’s finding that the property is currently uninhabitable. Board member 2 proposed and explained the amendment, and the amended motion was seconded and carried in a roll-call vote.

Board member 1 read the roll call: “Miss Slate? … No.” The roll call continued with Miss Mayo, Mister Snyder and Mister Scott registering votes in favor; the board confirmed the motion passed 3 to 1. Board member 1 told the appellant a written decision would be issued within 30 days.

The hearing began after the board returned from an executive session; members discussed condition concerns including possible hazards such as black mold but did not provide a detailed inspection report in the public record. The appellant expressed appreciation for the hearing and arranged to speak briefly with members after the meeting.

No statutes, ordinance numbers, or specific code citations were referenced on the public record during the recorded discussion. The board did not specify any conditions for potential future relief or an appeal schedule beyond issuing a written decision within 30 days.
