Nuisance matter for Maasdam properties tabled

               A good portion of the Tuesday, May 3, Clarion City Council meeting was taken up by a nuisance hearing about a couple of properties owned by Larry Maasdam. The properties in question are the 1520 Central Ave E and 305 4th St NW lots, the two properties on the east and west edges of Clarion that have farm equipment on them. The purpose of the hearing was for the council to decide if the properties should indeed be declared as nuisances and what timeframe to give the owner to rectify the violations.
