Commission authorizes county attorney to pursue lawsuits over multiple zoning and permit violations
Summary
Roane County commissioners approved resolutions directing the county attorney to file lawsuits against property owners for zoning, building-permit and code violations on specified properties; motions were recorded and carried during the meeting.
Roane County commissioners on May 11 approved a series of resolutions authorizing the county attorney to file lawsuits against property owners listed on attached case request forms for alleged zoning, building-permit or other code violations.
The chair read multiple resolutions (including Resolutions 052605–052607 and related items), each introduced and seconded by commissioners; the motions were recorded and marked as "motion carries" or "resolution passed" in the transcript. The resolutions direct the county attorney to pursue legal action where administrative remedies have not resolved permitting or code compliance issues.
Commissioners recorded no extended debate in the portions of the transcript provided; the county attorney had earlier described enforcement actions and the need to reconstitute committees to address code language (for example, changes needed in an RV permit resolution to avoid inadvertently limiting permit eligibility to newly manufactured RVs). The resolutions authorize the county attorney to proceed under the listed case request forms.
