Resident files formal nuisance complaint over Cooperville Holiday Motel; county agrees to pursue enforcement
Summary
At the Jan. 12 meeting a resident, Allen Stewart, filed a formal nuisance complaint against the owner of the Holiday Motel in Cooperville, describing it as filthy and housing uncontrolled animals; County Attorney Hubert Reeves recommended the county move forward and the board unanimously agreed.
Allen Stewart appeared before the Screven County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 12, 2021 to file a formal nuisance complaint against the owner of the Holiday Motel in Cooperville.
Stewart told the board that the property is "an eye sore," described it as filthy and said there are uncontrolled animals on site. He said prior efforts by the sheriff's office, the zoning office and the solid waste department had not resolved the problems and asked the county to explore additional enforcement options.
County Attorney Hubert Reeves recommended that the board move forward with the nuisance complaint. Commissioners unanimously agreed to pursue the matter; the minutes record the board's decision but do not specify particular enforcement steps or timelines.
No public comment was recorded on this item. The board later entered executive session for personnel and litigation and returned to adopt a county COVID-19 policy. The meeting adjourned at 10:38 A.M.
