Adopt Resolution #21-197 Approving an Abatement of 14950 Peridot Street NW

Staff is seeking authorization to abate two vehicles in violation of City Code at 14950 Peridot Street NW. The Subject Property has a history of City Code violations regarding off-street parking. The Property Owner has not paid the citations issued for the repeated violation. The vehicles are parked in the front yard on grass. It is unknown if the pickup truck is operable but the sedan has moved location in photo evidence. 

No notification is required for this case.

There is a current code enforcement case on the Subject Property for off-street parking. The Subject Property is owner-occupied. There is photo evidence of the violations. A first notice of violation was sent to the property on June 1, 2021 with the previous cases in 2014, 2019, and 2020 handled by the Community Service Officers and Community Development Staff.  No contact has been received from Property Owner. A second notice of violation was sent on June 15, 2021; and a third notice of violation was sent on July 2, 2021. 
 

Staff handles all Code Enforcement cases as part of their regular duties.

Staff recommends motion to adopt Resolution #21-197 approving an abatement of 14950 Peridot Street NW to remove vehicle in violation of City Code Section 117-355 regarding off-street parking. The City's towing contractor does not charge the City for towing of vehicles, but instead charges the owner at time of vehicle pickup. If the vehicle is not picked up within a certain time period as set forth by State Statute, the towing contractor, Northstar, can sell the vehicle. 

Motion to adopt Resolution #21-197 approving an abatement of 14950 Peridot Street NW.
