City attorney to demand removal of equipment, concrete barriers in High Meadows dispute
Summary
Planning staff reported neighbor disputes in the High Meadows subdivision; the city attorney is preparing a letter requiring removal of stored equipment and concrete barriers that neighbors say block safe play areas.
The commission received an update on an ongoing dispute in the High Meadows neighborhood where four neighbors are in repeated conflict over stored equipment and the placement of concrete barriers. Planning staff reported the city’s attorney is drafting a letter ordering the removal of equipment stored on an empty lot and the removal of concrete barriers that neighbors say obstruct safe play areas.
Staff said the dispute stems from an accessory-building application and related promises that the lot owner would not use the parcel for equipment storage; neighbors have complained that the owner violated that understanding and installed cement barriers. The city attorney’s letter will instruct the property owner to remove the equipment and barriers; staff anticipated the letter would be sent soon.
Ending: Commissioners noted the city enforces existing land-use ordinances and that enforcement action, including attorney involvement, is the next step when voluntary compliance cannot be achieved.
