Commission extends deadline on unsafe structure, approves property resolution
Summary
The commission closed a public hearing on 321 Broadway with no public comment, approved a related resolution, and amended an enforcement timeline for an unfit structure at 508 West 15th to a 90‑day extension before pursuing further action.
The City Commission considered two property matters on Oct. 21. The mayor opened a public hearing on a property listed as 321 Broadway; no members of the public spoke and the hearing was closed. Later in the meeting the commission approved Resolution 16‑49 concerning the property (motion by Commissioner Showalter; second by Commissioner Howard), with a unanimous roll call.
The commission also discussed an unfit structure at 508 West 15th. Staff said the owner previously indicated they would tear the structure down but had not done so. Commissioners discussed allowing more time; the commission amended Resolution 16‑50 to extend the compliance period from 30 days to 90 days. The mayor moved to approve the amended resolution, Commissioner Schowalter seconded, and the motion passed by roll call.
By amending the enforcement period, the commission delayed immediate demolition or other enforcement actions while signaling that the city will revisit the matter if the owner does not act within the extended period.
Next steps: staff to monitor compliance and report back if the owner fails to meet the 90‑day timeline.
