Magistrate cuts lien at Seaway Drive property to $2,000 after project manager pledges redevelopment
Summary
A special magistrate reduced a lien on 1010 Seaway Drive Unit A from $7,790 to $2,000 payable in 15 days after the property manager said improvements and a redevelopment plan are imminent.
A special magistrate reduced a code-enforcement lien on 1010 Seaway Drive Unit A to $2,000 and ordered payment within 15 days after project manager Dan Eagle described plans to redevelop the property and offered to resolve the matter.
The lien, originally totaling $7,790 in fines that had accrued after a previous order to repair or replace a sign, was presented to the court with a recommended administrative cost of $1,115.54. Dan Eagle, who said he recently returned to work for the property owners, explained that the sign issue is fixed and described ongoing plans for substantial improvements along Seaway Drive.
"I'd like to get the lien lifted off the property because I fully intended to come here before the lien was imposed," Eagle told the magistrate, and he asked the court to reduce the fine to $2,000 to cover costs and allow redevelopment to proceed. The city indicated it would be agreeable to a reduced amount. Magistrate Jamie Burrow said he was inclined to grant the request and entered an order reducing the amount to $2,000, payable in 15 days, with the full balance to be reinstated if it is not paid.
The magistrate noted the property had come into compliance on inspection and that staff had engaged with the current project manager. Eagle said he expected to proceed quickly and to coordinate payment with city staff. The order carries a 30-day appeal period.
