Clemmons council adopts minimum housing ordinance for 6049 Sessions Court
Summary
The Village of Clemmons Council adopted a minimum housing ordinance ordering abatement actions for a property at 6049 Sessions Court after counsel said owners had not responded to notices since January.
At the July 14 council meeting, the Village of Clemmons adopted a minimum housing ordinance addressing reported code violations at 6049 Sessions Court.
Village attorney Benshoft explained that the property owners had been noticed since January but had not responded to notices, hearings or staff requests. He said the next step under the applicable statutes and town ordinance was adoption of an ordinance to record the code-enforcement action in the register of deeds and to direct staff to abate nuisances and levy fines where appropriate. He recommended the council adopt the ordinance that evening.
A councilmember moved to adopt the minimum housing ordinance for 6049 Sessions Court to be recorded in the Forsyth County registry and indexed in the grantor index in the name of the property owners. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
Attorney Benshoft said further legal action could be brought later if necessary. The transcript does not detail the specific abatement steps, any fine amounts, or a timeline; staff member Vaughn was identified in the presentation as the staff contact to execute the abatement work if the ordinance directed staff to proceed.
