Board finds property at 6900 Venetian Way in violation; compliance deadline set for Sept. 25

The Code Enforcement Board on Aug. 27 found the owners of 6900 Venetian Way in violation of town code for a dirty driveway and a dirty roof and ordered compliance by Sept. 25, 2025. The board said daily fines up to $50 per day may be imposed if the property remains noncompliant after that date.

Code enforcement officer Eric Rich Wagon presented fresh photographs taken the day of the hearing and reported the driveway remained dirty and that the roof showed black stains and other signs of deterioration. Staff said the owners asked for more time because nearby bridge construction had resulted in heavy equipment near the property; Eric told the board the bridge work is a "moving target" but staff estimated the work could be done in the next week or so or possibly by Sept. 1.

The board adopted motions finding violation of sections of the town code (section 34-19 subsections cited in the motions) and ordered compliance by Sept. 25, 2025; the motions authorized imposition of fines not to exceed $50 per day and scheduled fine-assessment hearings for Sept. 25 if compliance is not achieved.

Why it matters: the board applies code standards to property maintenance; the presence of construction nearby and deteriorated gutters were discussed as contributing conditions, but members reiterated that property owners are responsible for their property’s condition and must take corrective action.

Staff will reinspect the property and, if necessary, schedule a fine-assessment hearing on Sept. 25, 2025.
