• Staff Analysis: The Florence County Code of Ordinances Chapter 21 Nuisance’s does not currently address or allow the county to take remediation action for properties which are left abandoned, trashed, and dilapidated. Amending Chapter 21 Nuisances of the Florence County Code of Ordinance will allow County Planning and Building Department Staff to: – Provide an avenue for correction if an owner is unavailable or refuses to take corrective action by allowing the County to contract with third parties. – Include language that allows abatement action to be taken by the county if the owner/violator fails to rectify a complaint. – Act in order to enforce removal or abatement and recoup all expenses by placing a taxable lien upon property. – Effectively address newly occurring nuisance violations while providing an “umbrella ordinance” for existing individual violations. 26

-
Proposed office building has been combined with dining space

Instead of town homes the housing consist of future small duplex cottages, to be more uniform with surrounding housing.
