A deteriorating garage in the back yard of a home at 518 Marshall St. is the latest structure in violation of Decatur’s code of ordinances governing such conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The situation began back in mid-August when owner Brad Colclasure received a notice from the city to abate the the problem, Assistant Building\/Zoning Superintendent Brad Roe told the city’s board of works and safety at its latest meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roe went over the timeline of the back and forth with Colclasure, noting that at one time the garage was painted \u201cbut was still in pretty poor condition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, a tarpaulin was placed over the roof, but nothing was done with the structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier communication with the owner then stopped in November, according to Roe. \u201cIt’s been a long time since we’ve had a phone call (from Colclasure),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the day of the board’s meeting, the condition of the garage was worse than ever, Roe said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colclasure attended the meeting and told the board, \u201cI have some pretty big stuff in there, things I want to protect.\u201d He’s been stymied from doing anything due to the winter weather, Colclasure added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He asked for six months to get the items out of the garage and remedy the situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt ‘s been six months; this began back in August,\u201d Roe interjected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The board decided to give Colclasure four months to alleviate the situation and it was agreed to set a deadline of June 6. If the problem isn’t rectified by that time, fines of $100 a day will begin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
