II. Abatement SUmmary
On July 30, 2015, a Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate was prepared and posted at 6002 Grove Street Lucerne CA, within the Clearlake Beach Annex Subdivision, and mailed, certified to the property owner of record due to excessive open and outdoor storage, failure to dispose of household trash, failure to maintain weeds, inoperable vehicles. Several complaints had been filed by area residents. The Abatement Notice provided Ms. Kuppinger with 30 days to abate the property. After several site visits and multiple contacts with the property owner, staff determined that compliance was not going to be met.
Therefore, on or about December 9, 2016 staff from Code Enforcement solicited and obtained bids from local contractors for abatement of the aforementioned violations on the property. On January 9, 2017 a local contractor was awarded the contract and started work soon after.
A follow up site visit was conducted confirming the contractor had completed the work.
Recommended Action
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors confirm the assessment of $4,000.00 and direct staff to Record a Notice of Lien against the property. The cost of abatement services was $4,000.00. The administrative costs on this case amounted to $252.82.
Sample Motion:
I move that the assessment of $4,252.82 for nuisance abatement on property located at 6002 Grove Street Lucerne, CA, also known as Assessors Parcel Number 034-433-10, and owned by Sherry R. Kuppinger be confirmed and the Enforcement Official be directed to prepare and have recorded in the office of the Lake County Recorder, a Notice of Lien in the amount of $4,252.82 pursuant to Lake County Ordinance Code Chapter 13, Section 13-43.
