Commission orders 90 days for windows and door, 30 days to clean backyard at 420–422 Hooper St.
Summary
After reviewing work at 420 and 422 Hooper Street (case 6632, owner Kyle Sanders), the commission gave the owner 90 days to replace front windows and a front door and 30 days to clean the backyard; the motion passed unanimously (recorded 7–0).
The Jennings County Area Plan Commission adopted a remediation plan for case 6632, covering 420 and 422 Hooper Street, requiring replacement of front windows and a front door within 90 days and cleanup of the backyard within 30 days.
During the show-cause hearing, the owner or representative said some plywood had been painted and that painting had been done after broken windows. Commissioners questioned whether painted plywood met the ordinance language and whether a permit had been pulled for remodeling. Staff and the Chair discussed options including the county’s Main Street program as a source of assistance if the property were to be used commercially.
After discussion the commission approved a two-part motion: 90 days for the front windows and door to be restored and 30 days to clear the backyard; the motion passed with a recorded vote of 7 yes, 0 no. Commissioners asked staff to follow up and verify permit status and to return if remedial work was not completed within the timeframes set by the motion.
The commission’s action ties the specific compliance steps to measurable deadlines; staff will monitor progress and may take enforcement action if the owner fails to meet the required repairs and cleanup.
