Council adopts resolution condemning fire-damaged house at 6700 Longmont
Summary
Park City Council unanimously adopted Resolution 1228-2026 finding the structure at 6700 Longmont dangerous and unsafe under KSA 12 1753 and ordered the owner to repair or remove it with work to commence within 30 days; extensions may be granted if a licensed contractor and permits are in place.
Park City Council on June 9 adopted Resolution 1228-2026 declaring the house at 6700 Longmont dangerous and unsafe and directing the owner to repair or remove the structure with work to begin within 30 days.
Gabe Pon of the building official's office presented photographs and told the council the property violates municipal code 4306, which requires exterior walls, roofs and soffits to be free of holes, cracks and rot. "As you can see from the pictures... it is some pretty extensive damage," Pon said, and advised that structural repairs of this scope require engineered drawings and a licensed contractor.
Property owner Rosemary Woodson told the council the house was heavily damaged by a January fire and that she has struggled to find an affordable contractor after losing insurance: "They won't let me draw permit to get the work done myself," she said, adding she had a meeting scheduled with a contractor next week and that Trust Roofing and Remodeling was the contractor she was working with.
After questions from council and staff about notice, prior attempts to sell and the department's prior demolition notice, a councilmember moved to approve Resolution 1228-2026, citing KSA 12 1753. The resolution directs the owner and any person with an interest in the property to repair or remove the structure and to commence work no later than 30 days from the resolution’s date. The motion was seconded and passed on a roll-call voice vote, 7-0.
City attorney and staff noted the 30-day start date is not absolute: council has extended similar timelines in the past when a licensed contractor has pulled permits and is actively moving forward with repairs. The adopted resolution starts the statutory process required by state law; council will revisit compliance if the owner fails to act or to obtain required permits.
The council’s formal action closes the public hearing; next steps are for the owner to submit the required engineered plans and for staff to monitor whether the repair or removal work begins within the adopted timeframe.
