I was wondering what happens with the property once the house(s) are torn down.
Patti,
The property owner still owns the property. If the property owner fails to pay the special assesment for the removal of the structure, then after three years the property goes up for Sheriff's sale.
Thanks for the question.
How long before the homes will be torn down?
The condemnation hearings are scheduled for July 7, 2008, and if the Council rules that the structures are unsafe and dangerous the property owners will have 30-60 days to remedy the problem, before the city can take action. So hopefully before it happens before it snows...
Several comments, just seeking some thoughts, not griping!
1 - Why are we spending money on city hall remodel when we have so many infrastructure needs? Sewer, water, streets, etc.
2 - where is this street sweeper we heard so much about?
3 - Why doesn't the city mow ditches?
4 - kudos to CPD for the new cars, new look, new attitude
5 - Kudos also to CFD for always doing such a great job! I see those guys out working all the time.
I believe that the remodel of City Hall is very important. City Hall is a structure that shows civic and community pride. Its the first place a vistor or a new resident visits. We need to have pride in our community. I am very proud of our city commissioners for embarking on the remodel of City Hall.
Lets make Cherryvale a better place.
