Council directs attorney to notify owners about R-1 rental compliance and past notice
Summary
Council reaffirmed R-1 zoning permits only single-family use and instructed the city attorney to send a letter referencing a 2014 notice to owners of a reported basement rental, asking them to appear before council to come into compliance.
A resident raised an access/rental-basement concern; council noted R-1 zoning permits only single-family dwellings and that a special use permit would be required for a basement apartment. The council agreed the structure must meet egress and smoke-detector requirements to qualify, and directed City Attorney Christina Wenko to send a letter referencing an earlier 2014 notice and to advise the owners to appear before the council to pursue compliance.
Lorraine Erdmann was listed on the agenda as the requester but was not present at the meeting. Council discussed enforcement and process for bringing the property into compliance and the requirement for owners to appear before the council if they want to pursue a permit or remedy violations.
