Chrisney council authorizes fines and certified notice for two code violations
Summary
Town enforcement reported two property code violations (112 E Market Street and 29 E High Street). The council approved fines at $100 per day ($50 per offense) and directed staff to send a certified letter; town staff performed major clean-up at 112 E Market Street and will bill the owner.
John, who serves as the town's enforcement authority, told the Town Council that two homeowners had been notified of planning-and-zoning violations. He said town employees completed major clean-up at 112 E Market Street after the owner did not respond; the town will bill the owner and place a lien if the bill is not paid. John also reported that the owner at 29 E High Street remains out of compliance: a building permit expired more than a year ago and Planning & Zoning requirements have not been met.
John said ordinance fines range from $5 to $200 per day and recommended fines be issued; the council approved fines of $100 per day (recorded in the minutes as $50 per offense) and directed Andrew, a staff member, to send a certified letter to the landowner. The council did not record a roll-call vote tally in the minutes beyond the motion being carried.
The minutes do not specify the exact start date for fines, the owner names, or the amount of the cleanup bill; they note only the properties by address and the council's direction to proceed with enforcement steps and certified notice.
