Summary
The commission approved an order of condemnation for 103 Crooked Pine; staff said the property is in foreclosure, demolition requires notices and multiple meetings, and the remediation plan will include fumigation to address rodent infestation concerns raised by nearby residents.
City staff recommended and the commission approved an order of condemnation for 103 Crooked Pine. A nearby resident raised concerns about rat infestation and asked what interim measures would be taken before demolition.
A resident asked, "But the house is rat invested, and I just wanna know what we're gonna do about the rats before we knock the house down." City staff said the bank has initiated foreclosure and the property is moving toward demolition; staff will incorporate a plan to secure and fumigate the house so pests will not migrate to neighboring properties and said they would coordinate remediation steps with the resident and code enforcement.
Staff explained demolition requires public notice and multiple meetings; if the bank does not act to secure or remediate the property, the city will proceed with condemnation and demolition steps. Commissioners thanked staff for the long effort and approved the condemnation order by motion and voice vote.
