During Monday’s meeting, Great Bend City Council member Kevyn Soupiset asked Code Enforcement Supervisor Art Keffer if city crews could take a look at the property at 3519 10th Street.

Soupiset said weeds were getting tall and trash was starting to collect on the property.

The land in question is the Wendy’s restaurant on the south side of the street. Announcing a remodel, Wendy’s demolished the building in August.

"I've been told in the past, the city has mowed that right of way when the owners didn't," said Keffer. "Why we did, I don't know. We can address it to the new owners of the property. That's about all I can do. It takes 10 days, at which point, if they don't take care of it we'll go clean it up."

Wendy’s in Great Bend has been closed since June 4. With the restaurant completely removed, a sign near the street states a new Wendy’s is coming soon.
