The South Park Board of Supervisors held their regular monthly meeting on August 10 at 7 p.m.

The supervisors revisited the process regarding the public nuisance, located at 1797 Cedaridge Dr. The company that will be restoring the building, N&B Management Company, sent a representative to speak to the supervisors regarding a tentative renovation date. The representative of the company stated he was uncertain of an exact date. Unsatisfied with N&B’s plans, the supervisors responded. Supervisor, Ed Snee, argued that there was a 90 day stipulation for the restoration process and the property had only been cleaned up, following the house being declared a public nuisance in May. Nothing further has been done to the structure.

“Other than that it basically hasn’t been touched in two months,” Snee said.

The Board decided that N&B Management should be given a 14-day notice to initiate repairs.
