Council flags dozens of River Resort condominium units as public nuisances and discusses EWP buyouts
Summary
The council reviewed a lengthy series of resolutions declaring many units at 206 Eagle Drive (River Resort condos) public nuisances; staff said the buildings are engaged in Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) processes and that demolition and buyouts may be the ultimate outcome.
Councilors considered a sequence of resolutions (numbered in the 2026-107 through 2026-143 range) finding multiple units in the River Resort condominiums at 206 Eagle Drive to be public nuisances following flood damage.
Staff said the resolution package covers units across three buildings that experienced flooding impacts and that many owners have entered the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) process. "The ultimate outcome, yes, would be that EWP process would give them a good offer which they would accept and then demolish the building," public-works staff told the council when explaining potential outcomes for multiple buildings.
Councilors asked about who is managing the buildings' response and whether homeowners associations and property managers were aware; staff said the HOA president and property manager had been contacted. Staff cited roughly $12 million in insurance proceeds related to the properties when discussing buyout and demolition calculations.
No demolition contract or final action was recorded at the workshop; staff said resolutions identifying the properties as public nuisances would be processed and the EWP/buyout process would continue to be coordinated with affected owners, insurance proceeds and federal programs.
