Council authorizes city to remedy unclean property at 6514 Koala Drive; owner given 14 days to comply
Summary
After a public hearing, the Diamond Head City Council adopted a resolution finding 6514 Koala Drive in a state of uncleanliness, authorizing staff to solicit bids to remedy the condition and to attach any costs as a lien if the owner does not comply within 14 days.
Diamond Head — Following a public hearing on July 1, the Diamond Head City Council adopted a resolution authorizing city staff to adjudicate and remedy an unkempt property at 6514 Koala Drive.
The mayor read the resolution describing the parcel (parcel no. 067N‑2‑35‑159.000) and noting the property owner as Anne T. Petrie. The owner was not present. City staff member Rich addressed the council and described the city’s compliance process: owners are first notified and given opportunity to correct violations; if they do not, the city solicits bids to perform the work and places the cost as a lien against the property.
Rich told the council he had spoken with Petrie and that the resolution, if adopted, would allow the owner an additional 14 days from the meeting date to bring the property into compliance before the city proceeds with bids and remediation. Photographs of the property were included in the meeting packet and made part of the record.
"This is kind of a last resort if we can't reach the point where we're there," Rich said, explaining the enforcement steps. After the hearing was closed, the council moved and seconded the resolution; roll call votes were recorded in favor and the resolution was adopted.
The resolution authorizes the city clerk to advertise for bids and to use city resources to bring the property into compliance if the owner does not act within the 14‑day period. Any costs incurred may be attached as a lien to the parcel number listed in the record.
