CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 08/12/2019 Submitted For: Tim Gladhill, Community Development By: Eric Maass, Community Development 4. 9. Information Title Adopt Resolution #19-187 Approving Code Enforcement Action Plan at 5431 164th LN NW Purpose/Background: The purpose of this case is to review the code enforcement activities at 5431 164th Ln NW, (the "Subject Property") for an extension of code enforcement actions and time for cleanup. Staff has been working with various code enforcement actions on this property for outdoor storage and off-street parking violations. City Staff has previously sent two notice of violations, one of which included a $75 administrative citation for unresolved code violations. The property owner has since been proactive in addressing code violations but due to recent family and health emergencies, the additional clean up and compliance has taken longer than first anticipated. In addition, the property owner has provided his consent for city staff to enter his property to conduct inspections through the process and has been a willing partner in working towards compliance. Additionally, Staff is bringing this forward as although the Owner has performed some cleanup, new violations do arise from time to time. This resolution will accelerate future violations and lay out a clear plan of enforcement in this circumstance. Notification: No notification required. Observations/Alternatives: Alternatives Alternative 1: Adopt resolution #19-187 Approving Code Enforcement Action Plan at 5431 164th Ln NW. The property owner has been cooperative with staff and when provided the draft dates of compliance was agreeable to them. Staff is supportive of this alternative. Alternative 2: Do not adopt resolution #19-187 Approving Code Enforcement Action Plan at 5431 164th Ln NW. City Council should provide specific direction to staff as to how to proceed with this active code enforcement case. Staff is not opposed to this alternative but believes the approach and timeline outlined in the proposed resolution is appropriate. Funding Source: Staff handles code enforcement as part of their normal duties. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Resolution #19-187, which will extend the time for cleanup at 5431 164th Ln NW Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #19-187 approving an extension of cleanup and code enforcement actions at 5431 164th Ln NW.
