At last week’s Bourbon Town Council meeting, the council members heard from Zoning and Building Superintendent Bill Keyser about a few structures in town that fall under the vacant and unsafe building ordinance.
Clerk-Treasurer Kimberly Berger explained that there were some limitations before anything could be done, such as notifying the owners and giving them a certain amount of time to respond.
Berger said that one structure is in the downtown area, in 200 block of North Main Street. Keyser met with the owners of that building and they indicated that they were going to make repairs and bring it back up to code.
The other building in the 800 block of North Main Street and Berger said those owners never responded to any of the letters that were sent to them. Superintendent Keyser was requesting permission to go forward with court proceedings over the building he hasn’t heard back about. The council approved Keyser’s request.
