Board of Supervisors Tues Mtg 05-05-26 ·Request for Hearing · Estate of Armand Thibodeau

The County of Lake Board of Supervisors held a meeting on May 5, 2026, to address a request for hearing regarding a nuisance violation at 15595 Graham Street, Middletown, related to the estate of Armand Thibodeau. The discussion focused on a notice of nuisance and order to abate due to an RV in a dismantled state and disorderly outdoor storage visible to the public. The property owner, represented by Shannon Thibodeau, explained challenges in cleaning up the property, including financial hardship and ongoing neighborhood issues. The board considered a timeline for voluntary abatement, ultimately approving a 45-day period for cleanup before the county would proceed with abatement and charge associated costs as a special assessment on the property tax rolls. The board emphasized the importance of compliance while acknowledging the property owner's difficulties and the need to avoid costly county intervention if possible.
