Property owner refuses to remove structure blocking sewer-replacement easement, city says
Summary
Newcastle council recorded that a sewer-replacement grant will start behind Jerry Stewart's property but the owner has refused to remove a concrete-slab structure in the easement; the city said it will pursue other measures to complete work.
Meeting minutes state that Newcastle has a grant to replace clay sewer lines and that the first replacement location will be the easement behind property owned by Jerry Stewart. According to the minutes, Stewart previously agreed to remove a structure on the easement but later told city hall he would not remove it, and the council said the city must take other measures so the grant work can proceed.
Council members recorded no vote on enforcement at the meeting. The minutes list the matter as a continuing item and direct staff and the mayor to research options. The record does not include details of any legal steps or a timetable; the council's executive-session discussion (6:51–7:15 p.m.) is not recorded in the minutes.
