Council moves forward with nuisance-abatement for 506 Broad; resident raises driveway encroachment dispute
Summary
The council voted to turn 506 Broad Street over to the city attorney to begin nuisance-abatement proceedings after the property owner failed to sign a quitclaim; resident Lonnie Wood raised a separate longstanding driveway encroachment complaint at 201 Chestnut and was advised on fence and Board of Adjustment options.
Council voted March 2 to direct the city attorney to proceed with nuisance-abatement proceedings for 506 Broad Street after the owner, Finally Home, failed to respond to a request to sign a quitclaim deed. Councilmember Johnson moved to turn the property over to the city attorney; Councilmember Bueghly seconded and the motion passed with five ayes.
Separately, resident Lonnie Wood told council that a neighbor poured a driveway on his property line in 1991 or 1992 at 201 Chestnut and that current renters are damaging his yard. Council advised that Wood may erect a fence but would need a building permit and may require Board of Adjustment approval if the owner does not sign a fence agreement. The mayor said the city would consult the city attorney and consider sending a letter to property owner Wade Peterson.
