Board keeps 7011 Hayden Road case open, discusses per-case fines to prompt work
Summary
The board kept 7011 Hayden Road listed as noncompliant after staff said access was not provided for a full inspection and visible violations remained; members discussed assessing fines for multiple open cases as motivation.
Code enforcement staff reported that a reinspection of the property at 7011 Hayden Road showed visible problems remain — including a tree stump in the front yard and driveway in disrepair — but staff could not confirm full compliance because they were not given access to the rear of the property.
"I rode by the property today and took new photos for you," said Eric, the town's code enforcement officer, explaining he could not confirm whether windows, doors or other items at the rear had been completed. Board members discussed assessing fines as leverage: staff noted a potential fine of $2.50 per day per case and members observed that multiple open cases could accumulate significant amounts if left unresolved.
The board voted to keep the property listed as noncompliant and to exclude one case that staff confirmed in compliance (case 2025-792). Members emphasized that owners may later petition for reduction of fines and that recorded liens could be reviewed by the town council if necessary.
