Residents press Stetsonville on long‑running property maintenance; village mowing vacant Voda house

During public comment at the July 13 meeting, attendee Marsha Duellman raised concerns about property maintenance in Stetsonville, saying some issues had persisted for more than two years. President Greg Brunner said the village mailed five new letters to property owners asking them to clean up properties; some recipients have begun corrective action. Brunner noted some notices are second notices and staff must allow time before taking further enforcement steps.

On written complaints, the board discussed a property that had since been mowed and decided no further action was needed. Separately, the minutes record that a long‑vacant property known in the record as the “Voda house,” vacant for roughly 15 years, was mowed by village crews; the village will continue mowing and tracking maintenance until ownership is determined.

The minutes do not record penalties, orders to abate, or dates for follow‑up inspections; they do not identify property owners or provide case numbers. The board’s response was administrative—mailing notices and continuing maintenance of the long‑vacant parcel—rather than an enforcement ruling at this meeting.
