699 Country Club Road case escalates to state counsel review; building permit question pending
Summary
City staff said they are consulting a state building inspector and the state's attorney's office about enforcement at 699 Country Club Road and related animal control allegations; staff are awaiting guidance on possible administrative warrants and parallel state enforcement.
The building department and animal control reported ongoing coordination with the state's attorney on enforcement options for 699 Country Club Road. The local building inspector said he reached out to a state building inspector (O'Meara) for advice about permit requirements and expected a return call; Donna Parker in the state's attorney's office was identified as the likely contact for pursuing state-side enforcement.
Tom and other staff explained that animal control has sent a cease-and-desist and that the city is prepared to pursue fines administratively in parallel with any state action. The building representative said the structure could fit site plan review but no application has been submitted; staff will await the state's attorney's recommendation on administrative search warrants or state enforcement before taking stronger unilateral action.
Committee members agreed to wait for the state's attorney's response, at which point the city will determine whether to pursue parallel fines, criminal penalties or other remedies. Staff said they will follow up with the committee once they hear back from state counsel.
