Medford council orders abatements for multiple nuisance properties
Summary
The Medford City Council held a series of public nuisance hearings on March 11 and voted unanimously to abate multiple properties across town, while taking no action on one parcel after corrective work was shown.
The Medford City Council on March 11 held a set of public nuisance hearings and approved motions to abate several properties across the city. Council actions covered properties at addresses including 324 S. Front St., multiple parcels on S. Chicago St., 207 S. Chicago St., 223 S. Chicago St., 513 E. Cherokee St., 623 N. Highway 81, 616 S. Front St., 204 S. Park St., 314 S. Park St., and others. Motions to abate were recorded as carrying with votes of Cardwell, Knigge, Zeman, Bowen and England all voting Yes for the abatement motions noted in the minutes.
One hearing—314 S. Park St., owned by the Luella Lipsett Estate—resulted in no action after the council found that a tree had been trimmed. The minutes show that some properties were given set timeframes: for example, the council allowed 30 days for a silver trailer at 324 S. Front St. to be moved and required fences to be cleaned up; another property was given 10 days to secure the property. These motions were made and seconded by named council members and recorded as approved by unanimous vote.
