Mundare receives complaints of unsightly properties

With the snow gone, the annual concern over unsightly properties in Mundare came up at council again, May 19.

Councillor Jaime Burghardt initiated the discussion stating there were people in the Whitetail area storing material on properties that wasn’t theirs.

“People are storing piles of dirt and gravel behind their property and using it like it’s their own storage facility, but it’s municipal property,” she said. “They’re also using town property to access their backyard.”

Chief Administrative Officer Colin Zyla said he would walk the area to get an understanding of the situation.

Burghardt said it was an issue because it “wasn’t their property to use.”

She added grass has to be cut in the area and the town should get control of it.

Councillor Jason Kowal said the municipality could talk to the people to straighten the situation out.

But the Whitetail area wasn’t the only area of concern with unsightly properties.

A letter was received from a  resident about multiple vehicles on properties and other issues.

Councillor Cheryl Callinoiu said she had also received complaints of unsightly properties.

She said people knew of properties where people worked in their yards until early in the morning.

Councillor Jason Kowal said residents should call the RCMP and register a complaint because the town does have a noise bylaw.

“A lot of people won’t call because the police take too long to arrive,” said Burghardt.

Mayor Mike Saric also stated residents complain to the councillors because they can take action and the residents then remain anonymous.

Kowal said tickets have to be witnessed, they can’t be issued on hearsay.

“I hope if they’re in town and patrolling around they may look at areas where there have been noise complaints to see if it can be documented.”

Other concerns were about trucks and  trailers parked in town.

“Semis can’t be parked in town,” said Zyla. But then it was asked if the semi cabs could be parked and there was confusion.

“Highway tractors haven’t been allowed to park in town forever,” said Saric.

“But we’ve got people saying they have been told they can bring their truck, just not the trailer,” said Burghardt.
