Adopt Resolution #21-198 Approving an Abatement of 5991 146th Avenue NW

Staff is seeking authorization to abate a vehicle in violation of City Code at 5991 146th Avenue NW. The Property Owner was given an extension in order to give her son more time to remove his vehicle. The vehicle is parked in the driveway partially on the grass. It appears the vehicle has not been moved from its placement in over a year. 

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 May 25, 2021; a second notice sent with a citation for $75 on June 10, 2021; and a third notice of violation sent on July 2, 2021 with a citation for $250. The Property Owner requested an extension to give her son more time to move the vehicle. An extension to July 2, 2021 was given to the Property Owner. As of July 2, 2021 the vehicle has not been removed form the property. 

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

Staff recommends motion to adopt Resolution #21-198 approving an abatement of 5991 146th Avenue 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 #21-198 approving an abatement of 5991 146th Avenue NW.
