Sheldon, IA (KICD)– The City of Sheldon will be moving forward with the clean up of a nuisance property that involves a trailer home that was destroyed by fire in April.
City Attorney Micah Schreurs told the City Council Wednesday evening a hearing was held earlier this week after the property owner failed to comply with previous orders to have the property cleaned up by Tuesday.
The property owner, Kevin Crafton, was at the council meeting where he noted some clean up was beginning but cited personal reasons as far as why it had not already been complete.
