READY FOR THE FIRST CASE MR. MORRIS.

>> GOOD MORNING, JOSH MORRIS AND TODAY WE HAD A HAVE A TOTAL OF FOUR CASES ON THE AGENDA. THIS IS OUR PUBLIC NOTICE THAT WAS SENT OUT FOR TODAY'S MEETING.

THE FIRST CASE ON THE AGENDA IS CASE NUMBER 20 -- 000431 LOCATED AT 1326 BERGER STREET. FOR THE RECORD IT SHOWS THE ACCOUNTING RECORDS OF WARRANTY DEED MEMBER ROBERT ANDRA MARSHALL AS AN OWNER, TAYLOR COUNTY SHOWS ROBERT ANDRA MARSHALL TO BE THE OWNER. SECRETARY OF STATE SAYS NO ENTITY UNDER THE NAME. TAX RECORDS OF THEM AS PALADINO NOT APPLICABLE. UTILITY RECORDS OF THEM IS A PALADINO SHOW THE INACTIVITY SINCE THE APRIL OF 2018.

AND SHOWS ROBERT ANDRE MARSHALL TO BE THE OWNER.

THIS IS A PUBLIC NOTICE THAT WAS POSTED ON THE STRUCTURE FOR TODAY'S HEARING. THIS IS THE FRONT EAST SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE. THE REAR WEST SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE, THE NORTH SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE, AND THE SELL SIDE OF THE STRUCTURE. THESE OTHER SUBSTANDARD CODE VIOLATIONS IDENTIFIED ON THE STRUCTURE.

AND AT THE SANITATION NUISANCE, HAZARDOUS ELECTRICAL WIRING, HAZARDOUS PLUMBING, AND FAULTY WEATHER PROTECTION.

THIS WAS AN ADEQUATE SANITATION VIOLATION AS YOU CAN SEE THE TOP TWO PICTURES, THERE IS NO MAINTENANCE OF PROPER FACILITIES, THE BOTTOM PHOTOS THE BOTTOM RIGHT, YOU SEE SOME FECAL MATTER, FROM RODENTS AND THEN ON THE BOTTOM LEFT, THERE ARE SYRINGES AND POSSIBLY SIGNS OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA AND DRUG ACTIVITY. NUISANCE CHAPTER 19 VIOLATION, DILAPIDATION OF INTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE, WE HAVE SEVERAL AREAS WHERE THEY IS HOLES IN THE ROOF HAS COLLAPSED.

HAZARD ELECTRIC IS -- HAZARD ELECTRICAL WIRES, LOOSE WIRES THAT ARE HANGING THAT ARE EXPOSED.

HAZARDOUS PLUMBING EXPOSED PLUMBING UNTAPPED PIPES, ON THE LEFT AND ON THE RIGHT YOU HAVE AN EXPOSED AREA WHERE IT APPEARS TO BE THE DRAIN TO THE BATHROOM SINK.

FAULTY WEATHER PROTECTION, AS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS DAYLIGHT COMING THROUGH THE SIDE THAT PHOTO IS IN THE LIVING ROOM.

AND ON THE LEFT IS WHERE THE STRUCTURE FIRE HAD OCCURRED TO AN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE TO THE HOME, AND IT LEFT A LITTLE BIT OF EXPOSURE THERE. SO THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THE BOARD BEFORE, BUT THE STRUCTURE FIRE OCCURRED IN JULY OF 2018.

IN IN DECEMBER OF 2018 DAY CASE WAS A DILAPIDATED STRUCTURE, AND FEBRUARY 2020, THE PROPERTY WAS MOVE TO THE CONDEMNATION PROGRAMMED BY A LACK OF PROGRESS WITH THE OWNER.

SKIP UP TO SEPTEMBER 2020, WE MAY CONTACT WITH THE OWNER AND HE NEEDED TO SUBMIT A COURSE OF ACTION AND HE WOULD PRESENT THE CASE OF THE BOARD, HE SAID HE WAS NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE EVERYTHING IN 30 DAYS, APPARENTLY THERE IS A MISUNDERSTANDING IT WAS EXPLAINED IT DID NOT BE COMPLETED IN 30 DAYS SO WE EXPLAIN THE PLAN OF ACTION AND THE RECOVERY PROCESS TO HIM. ON OCTOBER OF 2020, AN INDIVIDUAL WHO STATED IS GOING TO HELP THE OWNER WITH THE PROJECT AT THE TIME AND IS SUBMIT THE POINT OF ACTION, AND EVERYTHING WAS US PLAINTIFF REGARDING THAT PART OF ACTION, AND IT WAS BUILDING A BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION AS WELL AND IT WAS REMINDED THAT THE CONTRACTOR NEED TO BE BONDED WITH THE CITY. HE SAID HE PROMISE HE TURNED EVERYTHING IN THE PROPER FOLLOWING.

DECEMBER 2020 WE POSTED THE NOSE FOR JENNY 2021.

ALSO MET WITH THE OWNER AT THE PROPERTY.

HE DID ALLOW US TO ENTER THE STRUCTURE AND TAKE PHOTOS AT THE TIME. IN DECEMBER OF 2020, DECEMBER 17, 2020 WE HAD A PHONE CALL FROM THE INDIVIDUAL WHO STATED HE WAS GOING TO BE HELPING MR. MARSHALL WITH THE DEMOLITION. AND THAT HE WOULD COME IN AND PROVE A PERMIT. DO TO ACTION BEING TAKEN WE DID PRESENT THE CASE TO THE BOARD JANUARY 6, 2021, AND MMAY 13,

[00:10:02]

2021 WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE OFFICIAL IT DID ALLOW THE OWNER TO ATTEND A DEMOLITION WITH NO PERMIT FEES.

NOVEMBER 2021, THE PERMIT EXPIRED.

IN NOVEMBER 9 OF 2021, DUE TO THE IN ACTION BEING TAKEN AND WE STILL HAD NO CONTACT FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER.

ON NOVEMBER 15, 2021 RECEIVED A REPORT FROM THE MARSHALL DIVISION SHOWING AT LEAST 37 CALLS TO THE RESIDENCE BY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. AND AGAIN NO WORD FOR DEMOLITION HAD BEGUN. AS OF APRIL 14 OF 2022, WE DID OBSERVE THAT THE DEMOLITION OF THE STRUCTURE HAD REMAINED AND WAS UNFINISHED. AND SO ON THE 18TH WE MAILED A NOTICE FOR TODAY'S BOARD OF STANDARDS HEARING.

NOW AS YOU CAN SEE SINCE THE 14TH, AND THE PHOTO, THAT ACCESSORY STRUCTURE WAS REMOVED. AND THAT IS WHY IT THAT THE SITE OF THE HOME WAS EXPOSE THE WAY IT IS.

BECAUSE HE DID FINALLY DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE THAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DEMOLISH. THE REST OF IT STILL REMAINS IN THE COURT AND THE CONDITION IT STILL IS.

DUE TO THE TIMELINE AND THE ALLOTTED TIME THAT IS HAD TO COMPLETE EVERYTHING, THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO FIND THE PROPERTY IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE AND REPAIR OF THE STRUCTURE WOULD BE UNREASONABLE. STAFF RECOMMENDS TO DEMOLISH OR APPEAL TO DISTRICT COURT WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE CITY MAY

DEMOLISH. >> ANY QUESTION MR. MORRIS?

>> AND VIEWING THE PROPERTY THE OTHER DAY, THE DUMPSTER IS OUT THERE, SO OBVIOUSLY THERE IS BEEN SOME WORK.

BUT THE YARD WAS FULL OF VEHICLES AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT, IT MAY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE QUESTION.

WHAT ARE THEY ACTIVELY DOING WORK OVER THERE? I AM SURE WITH A YARD FULL OF PICKLES, I LITERALLY COULD NOT

SEE THE HOUSE. >> SO, THE DUMPSTER WAS PLACED AT THE PROPERTY AT THE REQUEST OF THE OWNER TO CLEAN UP AND TO REMOVE THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE. THE VEHICLES ARE A SEPARATE VIOLATION THAT IS GOOD CURRENTLY BEING WORKED BY THE CODE OFFICER

WORKING THAT AREA. >> OKAY THANK YOU.

>> YES, SIR. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF MR. MORRIS? THANK YOU MR. MORRIS.

AT THIS TIME I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE 20 -- 000431. ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. WOULD YOU PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT ANSWER. DO YOU SWEAR THE TESTIMONY ARE ABOUT TO GIVE TODAY IS A TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT

THE TRUTH? >> YES, I DO.

>> THANK YOU. >> STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE

RECORD. >> ROBERT MARSHALL ON THE OWNER

OF THE PROPERTY. >> WHAT IS YOUR ADDRESS?

>> 13188 BURGER, 1326 BURGERS NEXT DOOR.

THE CARS AND QUESTION OUR CARS ARE BEING WORKED ON, THOSE CARS ARE IN 1318 AT 1326. THE CARS ART NEXT DOOR THEY ARE NOT ON THAT PROPERTY. IN THE HOUSE IS BEING DEMOLISHED YOU'VE GOT IT ALL UP IN THERE, FOR BEING OUTSIDE THE OTHER DAY, I SPOKE TO THE OFFICES A COUPLE OF TIMES ABOUT SOMEONE SO MY PICKUP I AM DISABLED, SO I COULDN'T AFFORD TO PAY SIMPLY TO HAUL IT. AND THEY HAD THE CONTAINER OVER, THE HOUSES HAD AN ELECTRICAL FIRE ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE.

AND AN ADDITIONAL AREA, IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT THE WATER OR ELECTRICITY, WATER ELECTRICITY IS ON THE BACK, THE HOUSE ON THE OTHER SIDE. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PHONE THE HOUSE IS SOLID. THEY WENT TO THE OTHER DAY WITH ME AND WE DID A WALK-THROUGH, AND HE SAID IT WAS IN THERE.

THE HOUSE IS NOT BAD, IT JUST NEEDS WORK, WHICH DUE TO COVID-19, IN VARIOUS REASONS, I'M TRYING TO GET A HOMEOWNER OUR FIRST HOUSE SO I CAN PAY FOR THE SECOND HOUSE OF JESSICA FOR A BANK TO TAKE THE DEED SO I CAN RETIRE IT.

IT'S ALL I CAN SAY ABOUT THE HOME.

[00:15:06]

IT IS BETTER THAN THE HOME I LIVE IN ACTUALLY.

SO I WILL NEED MORE TIME, AND IT WILL GET RESOLVED.

DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

>> SIR, THIS CASE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO THE BOARD SINCE 2018.

THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY FOUR YEARS AGO.

>> YES OR. >> AND WE HAVE NOT SEEN A GREAT DEAL OF ACTION IN THOSE FOUR YEARS.

WHAT IN WHAT WAY COULD YOU CONVINCE US THAT ANY ACTION WILL

OCCUR IN THE NEXT FOUR YEARS? >> WELL,.

THE HOUSE FROM THE REST OF THE HOUSE, BECAUSE I JUST COULDN'T HOLD IT ALL. I DIDN'T WANT TO PUSH IT OVER AND HAVE ALL THAT RUBBISH ADDED TO THE PROBLEM.

BY PUSHING IT DOWN AND CALLING IT OUT, IT HAS SLOWED DOWN A LOT. THERE WAS VANDALISM OF THE CAR EVANGELISM OF THE HOUSE. THERE'S A COUPLE NEIGHBORS OVER THERE THAT I SEEM DON'T SELECT PERSONALLY.

AND AS HE WAS CALL, AND HARASS. >> CAN YOU UNDERSTAND WHEN I VISIT THE PROPERTY AND TAKE A LOOK, AND THE YARD HAS A DUMPSTER IN FRONT OF IT THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR QUITE A WHILE.

AND WE HAVE A VEHICLES THAT FILL THE YARD WHERE I CANNOT SEE THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE. AND WHERE YOU HAVE HAD THE NUMBER OF PHONE CALLS THAT YOU HAVE HAD, AND CLEAR DRUG PARAPHERNALIA THAT IS THERE. THERE'S NOT A QUESTION, AND ALL OF THE POLICE CALLS THAT HAVE OCCURRED OUT THERE CAN YOU UNDERSTAND WHY THE NEIGHBORS MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED?

>> DRUG PARAPHERNALIA? THERE'S BEEN NO REPORT OF THAT?

>> THERE WAS A CLEAR PICTURE OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA THAT M

MR. MORROW JUST SHOWED US. >> I DID NOT SEE THAT PICTURE, YOU GOTTA REMEMBER A WHOLE MUST WALK THROUGH THAT AREA THEY GOING TO HOMES ALL THE TIME AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

>> THE LOWER LEFT-HAND CORNER. >> I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT, THAT IS THE RESTROOM AREA IT LOOKS LIKE, BECAUSE I'M WORKING ON THE OUTSIDE WORKING ON ONE SIDE I DON'T HAVE NO HISTORY OF DRUGS.

I DON'T SELL DRUGS. THAT IS VAGRANTS.

THAT IS NOT ME. YOU CAN'T FIND THAT ANYWHERE.

>> MAY ASK A QUESTION? >> YES, SIR.

>> WHAT IS YOUR PLAN? WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO?

>> THE FIRST THING I PLAN TO DO IS FINISH WITH THAT WALL PUT UP GET IT SEALED OFF, I HAVE DOORS SITTING OUT THERE NOW THAT I CAN PUT ON THE FRONT AND THE BACK. AND TALK TO ELECTRICIAN BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT HOUSE NEEDS IS ELECTRICITY.

>> WHEN YOU HAVE THAT PLAY INTO THE FIRST STEP DONE BY?

>> WITHIN TEN DAYS. >> THEN WHAT YOU PLAN TO DO?

>> THAT I WILL CONTACT ELECTRICIAN BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE CITY TO THE ELECTRICAL BOX.

THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

>> WHEN YOU HAVE THAT PLAN TO HAVE THAT DONE BY?

>> AS SOON AS I GET THE WALL UP AND TALK TO ELECTRICIAN AND TALK TO THE CD TO SEE WHAT THE DEAL IS WITH THE BOX.

BECAUSE ELECTRICAL BOX THERE WAS NOT AN ELECTRICAL FIRE ANYTHING DUE TO THE HOUSES. SO, I WILL ASK THEM WHAT THE DEAL IS WITH THAT AND TO PUT THE BOX BACKS.

HE WENT IN THERE THE OTHER DAY AND WE DID A WALK-THROUGH I DIDN'T SEE NOTHING IN THE HOUSE WITH THAT YOU'RE SHOWING THE THE PICTURES. DID YOU RACE ANYTHING OF THAT? I DIDN'T SEE IT, LIKE I SAID I'M WORKING ON BOTH HOUSES, I'M JUST

[00:20:13]

MAKING SURE THE HOUSE IS SOLID. I WISH HE WAS SENT SOMETHING.

>> SO IS IT YOUR INTENT TO DEVOTE MORE OF YOUR TIME NOW ON

THIS HOUSE. >> YES, SIR.

>> OKAY. >> IS THE HOUSE THAT I LIVE IN I WILL PUT INSULATION IT AND ALL THAT STUFF.

I WILL REDO THE SHEET ROCK, ABOUT THE FLOORS IN IT.

IN THIS HOUSE IT WOULD TAKE. I PUT THE WALL UP THEN THE ELECTRICAL BOX BACK IN IT, THE HOUSE IS EMPTY.

IT SOLID. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS?

FROM THE BOARD? >> THIS BOARD IS USUALLY WHAT WE ARE ABOUT, IS UNDERSTANDING THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD IS SAFE AND SECURE, FROM DILAPIDATED OR PROPERTIES THAT HAVE BEEN CONDEMNED. THEY DO NEED TO BE SECURE.

FROM THE OUTSIDE. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE BOARD NEED YOU TO DO, IS ESTABLISH YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MR. MORRIS, AND THEN A PLAN OF ACTION AND SOME TIMELINES FOR HIM TO LOOK OVER WITH YOU, AND TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS WE HAVE GOT TO DO TO MAKE YOUR PROPERTY WHERE YOU CAN'T WORK ON IT AND YOU ARE NOT AFFECTING YOUR NEIGHBORS.

THAT IS KIND OF WHERE THIS IS ABOUT.

>> OKAY THE FENCE THAT SEPARATES MY HOUSE FROM 1318 AND 1326 WAS RUNS ALL THE WAY DOWN THE PROPERTY LINE, FROM 5026 AND MY NEIGHBOR ON THE OTHER SIDE WHICH TOTALS IN BOTH AREAS.

>> OKAY I THINK WHAT YOU ARE DESCRIBING YOU HAVE SOME PLAN THAT WE NEED THAT PLAN TO BE AN ACTION.

WE NEED IT IN WRITING. TO GET YOUR PROPERTY SECURE.

THEN, THAT PROPERTY IF IT IS CONTAINED IT WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE THE NUISANCE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND THEN IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WANT TO HAVE SOME TIME TO WORK IT, AND WE ARE NOT JUST STRAIGHT UP SAYING NO, YOU DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION YOU GOT TO DEMO IT, AND YOU SHOULD TEAR DOWN.

WE ARE NOT HERE TO NECESSARILY DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, IF YOU ARE SHOWING AN INTENSE AND DESIRE TO TAKE CARE OF IT.

>> LET ME JUST SAY, ALL OF YOUR IDEAS, THEY NEED TO BE SOMEWHAT IN A PLAN OF ACTION AND THOSE PLANS OF ACTIONS MR. MORRIS CAN HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THOSE ACTIONS CAN BE, AND NOT SO DETAILED, AND AT LEAST GET YOU IN SOME STEP-BY-STEP PROCESSES, TO BRING THIS ALONG SO WE ARE NOT IN IT FOR ANOTHER X AMOUNT OF MONTHS OR YEARS. THAT IS KIND OF WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. WE WOULD LIKE TO YOU KNOW, IF YOU HADN'T BEEN HERE TODAY, IF YOU HAD NOT REPRESENTED THE PROPERTY, WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DECLARED IT A NUISANCE AND FOUND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE DEMOLISHED, THEN YOU WOULD JUST BE TOLD YOU GOTTA TEAR IT DOWN. OR APPEAL.

BECAUSE YOU ARE SHOWING INTEREST THAT REALLY IS GOOD FOR YOU AND

[00:25:04]

THE PROPERTY. WE RATHER SEE THE PROPERTY IMPROVED. AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD WOULD RATHER SEE THE PROPERTY IMPROVED.

I THINK ONE OF THE REAL HARD PHOTOS TO NETWARE IS THE BOARD IS WHEN WE SEE EVIDENCE OF THE ABUSE THAT VAGRANTS GETTING INTO THE HOUSE, THAT JUST SAYS IT IS WIDE OPEN, AND THAT IS LACK OF CONTROL AND LACK OF SAFETY AND SECURITY TO THE NEIGHBORS.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF VAGRANTS OR RIFFRAFF COMMAND, IN-AND-OUT, AND THAT IS EVIDENCE OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA.

THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE WITHIN HOUSES OF THIS PROPERTY. SO I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO BE AWARE AS WE MOVE ALONG, THAT WE ARE LOOKING TO HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE A PLAN, AND DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IF I AM SEEING THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO DO SOMETHING, AND YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, I THINK I CAN ENCOURAE US TO GIVE YOU ONE OF THOSE WE NEED A PLAN OF ACTION, WILL GIVE YOU 30 DAYS TO GET THAT SORT OF THING WORKED OUT, NOW THAT IS REALLY ALREADY BEEN DONE ONCE.

BUT DUE TO ALL OF THE LACK OF WHAT EVER, AND THE ELEMENTS OF TIME, AND IT IS TRUE THE PANDEMIC HAS REALLY DISTURBED A LOT OF CYCLES OF PEOPLE'S AMBITIONS AND GOALS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I THINK TO DATE REPRESENTS A GREAT DAY, THAT SHOWS YOU CARE ABOUT THIS PLACE.

YOU WALK THROUGH IT AND YOU DECLARE IT THAT THE FLOOR SEEMS SOLID TO YOU, I MEAN, I HAVE NOT BEEN THERE, I HAVE NOT SEEN IT, SOME HAVE BEEN DRIVEN BY. BUT IF YOU CAN MAKE SOME PROMISES, YOUR WORD AS YOU SAID, WE NEED TO GO AHEAD AND START THE PROCESS TO SEE WHERE THIS THING CAN GO.

I HOPE THAT IT IS NOT A MONEY PIT WHERE IT IS GOING TO COST YOU MORE THAN YOU REALLY CAN AFFORD.

OF THOSE DECISIONS CAN BE HELP BY STAFF.

PART OF THAT IS BEING REASONABLE TO REPAIR AND FIX IT.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU SIR.

>> THANK YOU. >> ANYBODY ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. SEEING NO ONE I WILL CLOSE THE

PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE NUMBER 2. >> CAN I ASKED MR. MORRIS ONE

QUESTION? >> SURE.

>> OKAY, ON THESE 37 CALLS FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, ARE THOSE CURRENT OR ARE THOSE OVER THE FOUR YEARS THAT YOU KNOW?

>> SINCE THE OWNERSHIP WAS TAKEN BY MR. MARSHALL OF OCTOBER 2018

SO YES OVER FOUR YEARS. >> IS THIS PROPERTY HAD A 3060?

>> YES JANUARY 2020 WHEN IT WAS PRESENTED TO THE BOARD.

>> MR. MORRIS THAT DEMOLITION THAT YOU HAD HE HAD A DEMOLITION PERMIT AT ONE TIME IS THAT CORRECT?

>> ESSARY DID. >> THE DEMOLITION THAT HE DID WAS THAT DONE AFTER THE PERMIT EXPIRES?

>> YES. >> IS THERE A MOTION?

>> I WILL JUST SAY THAT I, WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE, IT IS BEEN FOUR YEARS, AND WE HAVE NOT REALLY SEEN ANY

[00:30:02]

ACTIONS, WE HAVE THE CITY, DOES EVALUATION, THAT THIS PROPERTY IS NOT FIXABLE, AND I JUST DON'T SEE HOW WE WOULD BENEFIT FROM GIVING THIS GENTLEMAN MORE TIME. ESPECIALLY SINCE HE HAS ALREADY AGREED TO DEMOLISH THE PROPERTY AT ONE POINT.

SO YES, I PROPOSE THAT THE PROPERTY IS A PUBLICLY ACCEPT THE CITY'S RECOMMENDATION, THE PROPERTY IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE, AND IT IS A HAZARD TO PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY AND WELFARE.

AND REPAIR THE STRUCTURE IT WOULD BE UNREASONABLE.

>> I SECOND THAT MOTION. >> WAS A DEMOLITION PERMIT ON

JUST ACCESSORY BUILDING? >> YES OR.

>> SO IT WAS ON THE WHOLE PROPERTY?

>> IS NOT FOR THE WHOLE PROPOSITION.

>> THANKS FOR THE CODIFICATION MR. CHAIRMAN.

>> MOST BY DR. PARIS AND THE SECOND BY MR. ALL RIGHT, THAT THE PROPERTY D BE DECLARED A PUBLIC NUISANCE.

AND IT IS A HAZARD TO THE PUBLIC HOUSE SEAT SAFETY AND WELFARE REPAIR THE STRUCTURE WILL BE UNREASONABLE.

ROLL CALL.

>> OKAY, THE MOTION PASSED. >> THE OWNER IS ORDERED TO DEMOLISH OR APPEAL THE ORDER TO THE DISTRICT COURT WITHIN 30

DAYS OF THE CITY MADE NOTICE. >> I SECOND THAT MOTION ALSO.

>> MOTION BY DR. PATTERSON SECOND BY MR. ALL RIGHT THAT THE OWNER IS ADVISED OR APPEAL WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE CITY ME DEMOLISH. ROLL CALL PLEASE.

>> NEXT CASE,. >> CAN I SAY SOMETHING AT THIS TIME? JUST BECAUSE THE MOTION PASSED, YOU HAVE 30 DAYS TO SUBMIT A PLAN AND GET THIS THING DONE.

THIS IS A FORCING FUNCTION TO YOU TO GET IT DONE, SO THAT TIMELINES ARE NOT PUSHED ON THE ROAD.

SO YOU HAVE 30 DAYS TO SUBMIT THE PLAN THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT

AND GET IT DONE. >> KNOW THAT IS 30 DAYS TO

DEMOLISH IT? >> OR APPEAL.

>> OR APPEAL RIGHT, SO THIS TIME FOR A PLAN OF ACTION IS GONE, EITHER DEMOLISH IT, THEMSELVES OR THEY CAN APPEAL IT.

>> THE PROCESS WOULD NOT BE TO SUBMIT A PLAN?

>> THAT IS CORRECT NOT TO THE BOARD.

>> OKAY THANK YOU. >> AT THIS TIME I WILL REOPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE NUMBER 20 -- 00,043.

>> I'VE NEVER SEEN THE CARS IN THE YARD SINCE I BEEN THERE CURRENTS I'VE NEVER HAD A CAR IN THE YARD.

THAT IS 1318 WITH THE CAR IN THE ARE NOT 1326.

SO HOW CAN YOU SAY THERE IS A NUISANCE WHEN THERE IS NEVER BEEN NOTHING THERE BUT THE HOUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND? THERE IS NO CARS THERE. WHATEVER CALL YOU SO WE DROVE BY THE KAISER 1318. WHY WOULD ANYBODY CALL AT 1326 AND NOBODY WAS THERE. SO THERE IS NO NUISANCE, THE CARS DON'T YOU GO OVER THERE. I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF THIS WAY AND THAT WAY, FROM THIS GENTLEMAN HERE.

WHEN THEY TOLD THE TRUCKS.

>> MR. MARSHALL, THE REASON FOR THE NUISANCE IS THE HOUSE IS NOT

[00:35:05]

>> IT DOES MEET THE GUIDELINES. >> DOES NOTHING BUT THE HOUSE AND THE HOUSE ARE SITTING THERE, THAT'S WHAT WE GOT THE TROUBLE FROM HIS 1318 NOT 1326. THOSE CARS WERE NOT ON 1326.

>> THE NUISANCE IS 1326. I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.

TO THE BOARD. >> OKAY I THINK I WILL.

>> THANK YOU. >> NO PROBLEM THANK YOU.
