THIS IS THE WEST SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
AND THIS IS SOUTH SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE.
THIS IS AN EXTERIOR DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE TO THE GARAGE, THIS AN ACCESSORY GARAGE THAT WAS ADDED IN AND WASN'T INITIALLY PART OF THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE. SO THERE IS A BARRIER THERE BETWEEN THE GARAGE AND THE MAIN STRUCTURE.
THIS IS INTERIOR FIRE DAMAGE THAT WAS SUSTAINED IN THE
[00:05:03]
GARAGE. AND THIS IS THE INTERIOR OF THE MAIN STRUCTURE. THIS IS ROOM THAT WAS RIGHT NEXT TO THE ROOM THAT CAUGHT FIRE. YOU SEE THERE'S MINIMAL SMOKE DAMAGE. THIS IS INTERIOR CEILING DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE.AND THESE ARE SOME INTERIOR PLUMBING ISSUES IN THE MAIN STRUCTURE. SO AT THE TIME OF EVENT CASE WAS ORIGINALLY OPENED IN DECEMBER 21ST, 2018, FOR DILAPIDATED STRUCTURE DUE TO FIRE THAT OCCUR ON JULY 8, 2018.
PROPERTY WAS MOVED TO CONDEMNATION BUT DUE TO THE LACK OF PROGRESS BY OWNER YOU NOTICE WAS POSTED ON STRUCTURE.

SEPTEMBER TWIFT, 2020 I MADE CONTACT WITH OF THE PROPERTY OWNER AT THE PROPERTY AND HE HAD SEEMED TO MISUNDERSTAND AND CONFUSION HE THOUGHT THAT EVERYTHING NEED NEEDED TO BE DONE IN 30 DAYS I WAS JUST KIND OF CONFUSED BY IT.
I EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO HIM AND HOW THE PLAN OF ACTION AND THE PROCESS WORKED HE STATED HE WOULD COME IN TO GET ONE.

THANK YOU MR. MORRIS. AT THIS TIME I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS CASE. ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD,
3026 WOOD WAY CIRCLE. >> I OWN THE HOUSE WITH MY HUSBAND. I DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS LEGAL TO HAVE THIS HERE, BECAUSE I FILED A LAWSUIT WITHIN THE 30 DAYS I HAVE THE RECORD FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF DOING THAT.
I SERVED HIM SO HE'S AWARE OF IT.
IT'S A DUPLEX. AND SO WE HAVE HAD UTILITIES ON.
WE HAVE MADE WORK THE REASON I HAVE NOT GOT A PERMIT I'M ALL PRETTY VICTORIAN HOUSE I THINK IT HAS TONS OF POTENTIAL.
IT WAS IN ROBERT LIVES RIGHT KROOT STREET GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD.
I HAVE EVERY INTENTION OF REMODELING THIS.
AND HAVING IT DONE VERY WELL. HOWEVER, I CAN'T JUST JUMP OVER THERE AND DO IT BECAUSE WE'RE FINISHING UP QUADRA PLEX THAT HAD A FIRE WE'RE ALMOST DONE WITH IT.
AND WE DID WHEN EVER WE PURCHASED THE PROPERTY IF YOU GO BACK AND LOOK REALTOR PICTURES IT WAS ACTUALLY IN A LOT WORSE CONDITION. A LOT WORSE.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT I KNOW IT'S HARD TO IRJ THE HOUSE, WALL WAS ACTUALLY ON THE TREE. WE TOOK THE WALL PUT IT BACK AND ADDRESSED FOUNDATION ISSUES. AND LIKE I SAID I HAVE TO GIVE YOU THOSE ORIGINAL PICTURES. I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I'M STILL WAITING ON DISTRICT COURT TO THE CALL THIS.
I FILED IT ON THE ORIGINAL PETITION AND EVERYTHING ON JULY 20TH. SO IT WAS WELL WITHIN THE 30
DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO ON THE LAWSUIT
>> DALLAS B STEWART. WHEN EVER DALLAS WHEN THEY TORE DOWN OUR HOUSE AND CONSTITUTIONALLY COULDN'T CALL ANYTHING A NUISANCE. AND THIS THE SUPREME COURT THEY APPEALED IT AND SAID YOU'RE CORRECT YOU CAN'T.
BUT THEN. MUNICIPALITIES AND HEY WE CAN'T DO THE THAT WE WILL A FACE TONS OF LAUTSZ YOU WILL HAVE TO PUT IT THE. THEY WENT BACK AND THEY WROTE IN THE THEIR OPINION, YES IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL BUT THE OWNER HAS TO FILE WITHIN 30 DAYS WITH THE DISTRICT COURT FOR IT TO START OVER DE NOVO. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DID.
>> OKAY. WELL THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE QUITE A HISTORY WITH YOU
>> AND YEAH. WE KNOW YOU ALL DO LOTS OF THESE
>> WE ALL KNOW THE PLAN OF ACTION THAT HAS TO TAKE PLACE
AND YOU'RE NOT NEW AT THIS >> I UNDERSTAND.
THERE'S LEGALITIES. SO LET'S SAY -- THERE'S A LAW FOR A REASON. I'M NOT SAYING I'M NOT DISAGREEING HOUSE IS A NUISANCE. BUT, IS IT BETTER TO BE A VACANT LOT? ALL I AM SAYING IT HAS BEEN THERE WAY BEFORE WE GOT IT THE WAS THAT CONDITION PROBABLY TEN YEARS. TEN YEARS.
WORSE CONDITION THAN IT IS NOW. WE BOUGHT IT HAD IT TWO YEARS.
AND WITH EVERY INTENTION WE WENT IN THERE WE PUT OUT WALL BACK IN STRAIGHT UP. AND THEN WE DID SOME REPAIRS ON IT. THEN IT WASN'T -- WE HAD OTHER STUFF GOING ON AND THEN THEY I HAD WORKER THAT IS GOT COVID.
SO THAT SENT ME OFF MY TIME SCHEDULE THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO FINISH THE QUADRA PLEX I WANTED THEM TO FINISH TO GET OVER ON
[00:20:02]
THIS ONE YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? I CAN'T HAVE PEOPLE WORKING WITH COVID GIVING TO OTHER PEOPLE.AND I KNOW THAT'S NOT AN EXCUSE BUT, BUT EVERY HOUSE THAT I'VE EVER HAD BEFORE Y'ALL, EVERY SINGLE ONE HAS ALWAYS CAME OUT OF CONDEMNATION. ALWAYS CAME OUT CONDEMNATION BETTER THAN WHAT Y'ALL EVEN EXPECT.
I HAVE EVERY INTENTION, IF I SUBSTANDARD PROPERTY I WANT IT TO BE GOOD. ME ALTON ARE A LOT LIKE WE'RE A LOT DIFFERENT. LIKE ALTON'S HEART HERE MY PART IS HERE. SO I PUSH HIM TO TWARL DO BETTER. SOME OF THE PROPERTIES THAT HE HAD BEFORE HE MARRIED ME I WOULD ACTUALLY U EQUAL THEM MORE A LIKE -- I'VE ON HIM TO SLOWLY SELL THOSE OFF REPAIR THEM AND MAKE THEM A LOT BETTER. BECAUSE I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO LIVE IN SOMETHING THANKSGIVING SUBSTANDARD AS YOU SAY.
AND I DON'T WANT TO THE HAVE ANYTHING THAT'S LIKE THAT.
AND I SEE HOUSES, I SAW THIS ONE ON INTERNET AND NOBODY WOULD BUY IT. THE REALTOR WHEN EVER I TALKED TO THEM EVERYBODY WAS WALKING AWAY FROM THIS HOUSE.
I MEAN IN THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR TO HOUSE SHE WAS TICKLED TO SEE SOMEBODY BUY IT TO TRY TO FIX IT UP BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO SEE VA CANNED LOT THEY USED TO KNOW THE PEOPLE THAT LIVED THERE. IT HAS HISTORY.
AND ALL THAT I AM ASKING IS TO LET THIS TAKE ITS DUE COURSE.
I CAN'T TELL YOU A TIMELINE RIGHT NOW.
I CAN'T. I WOULD HAVE ALREADY BOUGHT A PERMIT Y'ALL WANT TO HEAR THIS, THE LAST PERMIT I GOT ON CONDEMNED HOUSE WAS $1,200 FOR THE PERMIT.
THAT'S HOW MUCH IT COST FOR THE PERMIT.
BECAUSE IT WAS CONDEMNED. I THINK THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS.
I THINK PERMIT SHOULDN'T OVER $200 TO DO THAT.
THE ROOFING PERMIT WAS $50. SO THAT IS WHY I HAVEN'T BOUGHT A PERMIT IN NOT WANT TO I DON'T WANT TO GET RIPPED OFF I'M SURE ANYBODY WOULD FEEL THAT SAME WAY.
IF YOU GIVE A REASONABLE PERMIT FEE I'LL GO RIGHT NOW PAY PERMIT
FEE >> SO HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED
>> I NEED SIX MONTHS. >> AND I THINK THAT'S VERY REASONABLE. IT WAS DUPLEX ON RECORDS.
IF YOU'LL ACTUALLY PULL THEM ON OTHER DEAL THAT'S HOW IT IS, IS 1431, THERE'S BEEN AN ELECTRICITY ON THERE, THAT HAS BEEN WATER ON. SO THAT'S NOT, THAT'S INCORRECT INFORMATION THAT Y'ALL ARE WORKING OFF.
>> WELL, YOU UNDERSTAND BECAUSE YOU'VE DONE THIS BEFORE, ALL CITY IS REQUIRING A PLAN OF ACTION
THAT GIVES YOU THE TIME THAT YOU NEED, THAT'S JUST A FIRST STEP.
AND OBVIOUSLY THAT'S STEP YOU HAVE NOT TAKEN.
>> BUT HERE'S WHAT IT IS, I DON'T WANT TO PAY AN UNREASONABLE PERMIT FEE. I DON'T WANT TO IFA JUDGE SAYS BECAUSE LAST TIME WE WENT TO COURT AND THE YOU WENT TO COURT WITH ME, OR AGAINST ME WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, THE JUDGE SAID IT WAS A TAKING. HE AGREED WITH ME 100 PERCENT.
BECAUSE I SAID Y'ALL, THE PEOPLE THAT Y'ALL HAVE WORKING OR THAT WORK FOR THE CITY HAD LIED ON THEIR PERCENTAGE AND LIED ON THIS AND THAT. I HAD IT ON Y'ALL'S DEAL BECAUSE I DIDN'T CERTIFY IT WITH CITY HE SAID THAT WAS A TECHNICALITY THAT BUT HE SAID IN HIS OPINION IT WAS A TAKING.
I JUST WANT TO SEE BECAUSE I'VE ALREADY $20,000 IN FINES THAT Y'ALL HAVE ASSESSED US ON OTHER PROPERTIES THAT THOSE HAVE CAME OUT OF CONDEMNATION AND THEY ARE FINE.
THAT I DON'T WANT, I DON'T WANT THIS TO COME BEFORE A COURT.
BECAUSE WE'RE NOT UNREASONABLE IN ANY ASPECT.
THIS HOUSE, Y'ALL HAD BEFORE, IT WAS CONDEMNED WAY BEFORE THIS HOUSE THAT HAVE BEEN CONDEMNED YEAR.
IT CONDEMNED IN JULY. WHAT IS THAT SIX MONTHS? AND THOSE CASES I MEAN Y'ALL PUT US -- IT'S NOT FAIR Y'ALL PUT US BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE. I KNOW YOU HAVE AN ATTITUDE TOWARDS ME I UNDERSTAND IT THAT YOU SEE ME AS N ME BUT I TAKE HOUSES THAT ARE UGLY MAKE THEM PRETTY.
>> IT IS WE DON'T HAVE ATTITUDE AGAINST YOU.
THAT'S KIND OF LIKE SELF FULFILLING PROPHECY WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU U IS IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO FINISH SUBMIT A PLAN OF ACTION, AND GET THE PERMITS, AND MEET 90 DELAYS WHICH THREE MONTHS SHE'S ASKING FOR ANOTHER THREE MONTHS. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT EXTEND THOSE PERMTHS WITHOUT BEING FINED FOR ANOTHER THREE MONTHS?
>> YES ONCE THE PLAN OF ACTION IS PERMITS HAVE A PULLED.
N ONCE YOU CALL IT FOR ONE INSPECTION IT AN EXTENDS IT FOR SIX MONTHS. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ONE INSPECTION APPEAR ROUGH IN OR WHATEVER IT WILL EXTEND THAT
[00:25:02]
PERMIT FOR SIX MONTHS. >> OKAY.
>> WE JUST HAVE TO HAVE ACTIVITY WITHIN THE SIX MONTHS.
>> OKAY. >> AND MY UNDERSTANDING THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY FINES ON THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.
THIS IS A BRAND NEW CASE. SHE'S REFERRING TO PAST CASES
>> OKAY. SO DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHATS WAS
I UNDERSTAND THAT. >> THEY ARE SAYING THEY ARE
GIVING YOU WHAT YOU WANTS >> YES.
>> JUST A MATTER OF TURNING IN A PLAN OF ACTION AND PULLING PERMITS AS FAR AS YOUR ISSUE COST OF ISSUES THAT NOT WHAT THE THIS BOARD DEALS WITH. THAT'S OUT OUR CONTROL THAT SET BY CITY MANAGER AND BUILDING OFFICIAL.
SO ALL PEOPLE THAT ON THE SAME BASIS OF COST.
EVERY PROJECT WILL BE BASED ON THE SIZE AND PRICING WILL BE ACCORDINGLY. NOW THAT THEY HAVE COMBINED ALL THE PERMITS WHETHER IT'S HEAT AND AIR, PLUMBING ELECTRICALLY, IT'S ALL UNDER ONE PERMIT AND THAT'S ONE OF THE PRICES IT AS
HIGH AS IT IS. >> SO I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THIS. SO YOU'RE ROOF PERMIT COULD HAVE FELL UNDER NEAT THE OTHER PERMITS?
>> W >> YES, MA'AM, THAT AT'S CORREC.
SOFRMENTS IF THAT'S AT CASE I JUST NEED ONE FROM GET GO AND ROOFING PERMIT WOULD KIND OF -- I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE NOT. >> WELL YOU CAN RELY ON THE STAFF TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS FOR YOU WHEN YOU COME IN WITH A PLAN OF ACTION. MR. MORRIS CAN EXPLAIN THAT OR YOU CAN COME IN TO THE PLANNING DEVELOPMENT DOWN THERE AND TALK TO THEM AND THEY CAN EXPLAIN THE PROCESS.
WE APPRECIATE WHAT Y'ALL DO. Y'ALL ARE TAKING THESE HOMES WE HAVE NOTHING AGAINST Y'ALL BUT THE PROCEDURE WHEN RA COMPLAINT CAME UNTIL THAT THAT'S REASON WHY A CODE ENFORCMENT CAME OUT
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT. SOMEBODY COMPLAINED YOU GOT TO TAKE NOTICE OF IT. SO I EXPECT THE SAME THING IF I COMPLAINED ABOUT SOMETHING. BUT I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE INSTEAD OF COMPLAIN ABOUT I WANT TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO HELP THAT PERSON INSTEAD OF JUST PASS IT TO GET THEM -- ANYWAYS, I'M, JUST KIND OF FRUSTRATING BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, JUST OUR GOAL IS TO GET HOUSES THAT ARE PRETTY. AND SO THAT WE HAVE A FAMILY IN THERE AND WE A HAVE A NEIGHBORHOOD SO THAT MAKES THE PROPERTY VALUE GO FOR EVERYBODY AROUND AS WELL AS US.
AND IT GIVES US SOMETHING GOOD. IT'S JUST AFTER SIX MONTHS, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE ALL OF OURS COME UP QUICKER.
EVERY TIME THAT WE COME HERE, AND I LOOK AT OTHER CASES FOR COMPARISON ON DATES T OURS IS ALWAYS THE NEWEST.
>> WELL STAFF HAS BEEN BRINGING THESE CASES TO US ON MORE TIMELY FASHION OVER THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS.
AND THEY HAVE BEEN DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB OF KEEPING THESE CRAZES MOVING. THEY ARE SETTLING THOSE PROOBS THIS EVEN COME BEFORE THIS BOARD IN MOST CASES.
SO, I STILL SAY THEY ARE NOT SINGLING YOU OUT JUST THE FACT THAT THEY ARE WORKING IN A MORE EFFICIENT MANNER.
IT'S IN COMPLAINT HADN'T COME IN MIGHT SET THERE LONGER BUT
THAT'S REASON WHY THEY ACCIDENT >> I GUESS, MAYBE IF THEY WOULD CALL ME AND LIKE TRY TO, LIKE MY CELL PHONE NUMBER HAS BEEN THE SAME FOR 12 YEARS. AND LIKE I WORK, THERE'S WAS CODE ENFORCEMENT THAT CALLED ME UP THE OTHER DAY ON PROPERTY I MANAGED AN APARTMENT COMPLEX HE SAID LOOK I HAVE THIS COMPLAINT THIS IS WHAT WHS GOING ON WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT IT.
THAT RAS REFRESHING. YOU KNOW, WHAT I MEAN I WAS REFRESHED OKAY YOU HAVE SOMEBODY COMPLAIN, SO YOU'RE CALLING ME SO LET'S WORK TOGETHER. AND YOU KNOW WHAT IT GOT
RESOLVED >> YOU'VE OWNED THIS SINCE WHAT YEAR? HAS
>> 2018. JULY 6TH MONTHS DOESN'T COME THE INTO PLAY HERE YOU KNOW THE PROGRAM BECAUSE YOU ALL DO THIS
YOU KNEW THAT Y'ALL HAD TO MOVE FORWARD
>> YES. WHEN EVER WE INITIALLY BOUGHT IT WE DID WITHIN A MONTH WE HAD THAT WALL.
I'M TELLING YOU THAT WALL WAS ACTUALLY ON THAT TREE.
LIKE YOU SAW THE PICTURE, THAT WALL WAS BOWED OH OUT THREE FEET LIKE EVERYBODY DIDN'T THINKING IT WAS POSSIBLE TO PUT THAT THE IN. AND WE DID.
>> OKAY. WELL YOU UNDERSTAND THE PROCEDURES BECAUSE YOU'VE DONE THIS
>> OKAY. YOU JUST NEED TO GET YOUR PLAN OF ACTION TURNED IN YOU UNDERSTAND THE PERMITTING
