Council authorizes start of foreclosure process for 7730 Westlake Drive pending code-board review
Summary
Council approved a motion authorizing the town attorney to commence foreclosure proceedings on a property at 7730 Westlake Drive subject to the code enforcement board's decision; staff noted the property has outstanding liens and a prior reverse-mortgage lien, and the town may not recoup full lien amounts.
Lake Clarke Shores — The Town Council voted to authorize the town attorney to begin foreclosure proceedings on the property at 7730 Westlake Drive, subject to approval by the code enforcement board.
Staff presented the property's history: outstanding code-enforcement fines and open permits, and a prior loan balance (reported in 2022) of approximately $288,000 that would have priority over code liens. Town Attorney Charlie advised that foreclosure can begin after lien filing and that a negotiated settlement remains possible if owners pay fines or cure violations.
A council member moved to authorize the town attorney to foreclose the property upon a code-enforcement board decision; the motion carried by voice vote and was recorded as 5–0 in favor. The council directed staff to keep the council updated as the code-enforcement process proceeds.
Provenance: Discussion begins SEG 1074; vote recorded SEG 1246–1248.
