Commission to send enforcement letter to county attorney over alleged illegal parcels and septic concerns
Summary
After discussing multiple properties believed to be out of compliance, the commission agreed to send a letter to the county attorney requesting formal enforcement and to ask the health department and county attorney to prioritize identified properties.
Commissioners discussed several properties they said may be out of compliance with county ordinances — including new metal buildings, trailers and recent septic/ leach‑field work — and described an inconsistent enforcement timeline. The commission agreed to ask the county attorney to take formal enforcement action on three properties discussed during the meeting.
One commissioner said they had requested a health‑department investigation in May and had not seen consistent follow‑through; staff replied the health department had been notified on at least one site. Speaker 7 stated the commission would send a letter to the county attorney (referred to in the meeting as 'Mike') requesting formal enforcement and that the letter would be drafted promptly.
Commissioners emphasized the limits of the planning commission’s enforcement powers and said prosecution and formal code enforcement would fall to the county attorney or other enforcement offices. The commission asked staff to provide property lists and evidence so the county attorney can act; no timeline beyond 'prompt' was recorded in the meeting.
