Chaffee council discusses nuisance and condemned properties, approves survey for tax‑sale lot at 204 Helen
Summary
Councilman Mark Perkins raised nuisance violations at an Eddie Wagner property and the council discussed a condemned address at 118 Cook Street. The council also approved up to $800 for a survey of 204 Helen, a property acquired at tax sale and under prospective purchase.
The Chaffee City Council addressed multiple property matters at its Nov. 3 meeting, including nuisance violations, a condemned residential property and approval of a survey for a tax‑sale parcel the city intends to sell.
Councilman Mark Perkins presented information about nuisance violations at a property owned by Eddie Wagner and prompted discussion about enforcement and neighboring‑property jurisdiction. The council asked City Administrator Lee Horton to investigate jurisdictional issues for neighboring properties.
Per the minutes, the council also discussed condemned properties and specifically 118 Cook Street; the City Attorney was asked to research options for that address. Separately, Horton reported a party is interested in buying the property at 204 Helen, which the city acquired at a tax sale, and requested authorization to spend up to $800 for a property survey to facilitate the sale. Andy Sadler moved to approve up to $800 for the survey; Danny Finley seconded and "all present in favor." The motion carried.
The minutes do not record a timeline for remediation, potential fines, or the prospective buyer’s identity. The City Attorney’s forthcoming review will determine legal options for condemned properties referenced at the meeting.
