Board discusses cleanup options for burned property in Redwood, considers junk-law and unsafe-building process
Summary
Board members discussed using the town’s junk-law to address a burned house on Pine Street in Redwood; staff noted a pending sale and possible separate unsafe-building processes and flagged child-safety concerns because the site is not fully fenced.
Chair briefed the board on a burned house in Redwood and said the town is preparing to use the town’s junk-law to clean up the site. He reported there is a pending sale on the property and said the burned structure may not be covered under the junk-law if it falls under separate unsafe-building procedures; staff advised consulting Andy Silver about the process and recouping costs where allowable.
Committee members and staff noted fencing and child-safety concerns; the county had previously knocked down the structure and fenced it temporarily, but staff said children have been seen climbing on the remains. The board asked staff to review the appropriate legal process and notification steps before proceeding.
