Business Items (Action Items) c. Consider Request for City Abatement for Unresolved Violations of City Code at 341 County Road S-2 Permit Coordinator Munson reviewed the request for abatement as detailed in the Request for Council Action (RCA) dated August 9, 2010; providing a visual up- date on the property as of today of this single-family detached home, currently owned by Gary and Judith Halberg. Mr. Munson summarized the proposed ab- atement, consisting of removal and disposal of a severely dilapidated rear deck at an estimated cost of $2.000.00. In addition to packet information, Mr. Munson advised that the property owner had taken the initiative to cut down a considerable amount of brush and vegeta- tion to access the rotted deck, as well as having brought in a dumpster. However, given this property's history of public nuisances and slow compliance, Mr. Mun- son requested that the abatement process be authorized to provide staff with addi- tional incentives for the owner to complete compliance in a timely manner. Mr. Munson advised that he had spoken to the property owner, and that he would be unavailable for tonight's meeting. Staff recommended that the Community Development Department be authorized to abate the unresolved City Code violation at 341 County Road B-2. Klausing moved, Johnson seconded, directing staff to abate the above-referenced public nuisance violation at 341 County Road B-2 by hiring general contractors to remove and dispose of the rotted deck, in addition to additional vegetation cut down by the property owner, as detailed in Request for Council Action dated Au- gust 9, 2010, at an estimated cost of approximately $2,000.00, unless the required overall work was not substantially completed by the homeowner by September 1, 2010; and further directing that the property owner be billed for all actual and administrative costs; and if those charges remain unpaid, staff is to recover costs as specified in City Code, Section 407.07B; with costs to be reported to the City Council following the abatement.
