YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. >> THANK YOU, SIR. ON BEHALF OF THE HOMEOWNERS, THE HIRSCH FAMILY, AS MR. MARSH JUST ADVISED YOU , WE HAVE NOW PROVIDED TO THE CITY A COPY OF THE SIGNED CONTRACT , WHICH I BELIEVE HAS INFORMATION CONCERNING THE FACT THAT NOT ONLY IS IT SIGNED, BUT THE ESCROW MONEY HAS BEEN PAID. WE HAVE ALSO PROVIDED --

>> IS HIS MICROPHONE OFF ? I'M HAVING DIFFICULTY HEARING.

>> IS IT WORKING? >> IS THAT BETTER?

>> NO. >> IS THERE A REASON ?

>> I DON'T WANT TO TEAR UP CITY PROPERTY. I WILL LET SOMEONE ELSE HANDLE THAT. IS THAT BETTER? I WILL START ON BEHALF OF THE HOMEOWNERS , AS WAS POINTED OUT IN THE TIMELINE, I BELIEVE Y'ALL WERE PROVIDED IT LAST MEETING WITH AN UNSIGNED COPY OF THE CONTRACT , YOU HAVE NOW BEEN PROVIDED WITH A COPY OF THE SIGNED CONTRACT , WHICH NOT ONLY HAS EMERGENCY SIGNATURES ON BEHALF OF THE BUYER, AT LEAST THE BUYER'S REPRESENTATIVE , ALSO INFORMATION CONCERNING THE FACT THAT THE ESCROW MONIES HAVE BEEN PAID . IN ADDITION, WE PROVIDED YOU WITH INFORMATION ON THE ACTUAL ENTITY THAT IS THE PURCHASER, THAT IS A NEW MEXICO COMPANY . I KNOW THAT WAS AN ISSUE RAISED BY MR. CHILD AT THE LAST MEETING , IF THEY EXISTED, APPARENTLY, THEY DO. FURTHER, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSIONS, OR THERE WILL BE DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN THE REAL ESTATE AGENT THAT HAS BEEN HANDLING THIS, GOT AN EMAIL RIGHT BEFORE I CAME OVER THIS MORNING, THAT HE HAD REACHED OUT TO HER. WE HAD BEEN ADVISED , NOTHING OFFICIAL, AND I AM NOT TRYING TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MR. CHOATE, THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION IS OKAY WITH THIS, WILLING TO GIVE A NINE-MONTH PERIOD WITHIN WHICH TO COMPLETE THE PROPERTY WITH POSSIBLE EXTENSION , IF PROBLEMS OCCUR. THAT IS KIND OF THE BEST UPDATE I CAN GIVE, WHICH IS, WE HAVE MOVED DOWN THE ROAD. WE DO HAVE A BUYER.

THE BUYER IS MOVING FORWARD AND WANTS TO BUY THIS PROPERTY AND COMPLETE THE PROPERTY . I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY

QUESTIONS, IF I CAN. >> ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU .

ANY OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE, PLEASE STEP FORWARD, STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

>> MY NAME IS TOM CHOATE, I REPRESENT THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION AT CAROL . I WILL NOT GO THROUGH THE WHOLE LITANY

[00:10:05]

. THIS PROPERTY WAS CONDEMNED IN SEPTEMBER 2022. THAT CONDEMNATION WAS APPEALED TO THIS BOARD, IT WAS UPHELD IN NOVEMBER 2022, AND WE HAVE NOW -- I THINK THIS IS THE SIXTH TIME. IT MAY JUST BE THE FIFTH, I THINK IT IS THE SIXTH TIME IT HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO THIS BOARD. I WAS INTERESTING TO HEAR MR.-- READ THE END OF THE STATEMENT OF POLICY, THAT SOMEONE WITH CONDEMNED PROPERTY TO TAKE CARE OF THAT PROBLEM , NEEDS TO ONE, PROVIDE A SPECIFIC TIMEFRAME NEEDED TO COMPLETE REPAIRS, TUNA, SPECIFIC SCOPE OF THE REPAIR WORK TO BE COMPLETED, THREE, COST ESTIMATE FOR THE WORK TO BE DONE BY LICENSED, BONDED CONTRACTORS , SUCH AS ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING , HEATING, AND AIR CONDITIONING. I JUST HAVE TO MAKE THE POINT THAT NONE OF THOSE THINGS HAVE BEEN DONE, NOT A SINGLE ONE. AND ALL THE TIME SINCE SEPTEMBER 2022 THAT THIS PROPERTY WAS CONDEMNED. WE, MY CLIENTS, THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, AND I , HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROPERTY FOR MORE THAN THREE YEARS. SINCE APRIL, MAY OF 2020. IN THE STOPPAGE OF WORK, AND WE ARE IN THE SAME PLACE THAT WE HAVE BEEN ALL ALONG. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE REALTOR, I HAVE TRIED TO FIND OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS, NUMBER ONE, THIS CONTRACT HAD A DESCRIPTION OF THE CLOSING DATE THAT WOULD OCCUR ON OR BEFORE AUGUST 31. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE FROM THE REALTOR WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS A CLOSING DATE SET AT THIS POINT, OR IF WE ARE JUST DRIFTING ALONG . I HAVE ALSO ASKED THE REALTOR ABOUT THIS CONTRACT AND THAT IT HAS THE ABILITY FOR A POTENTIAL BUYER TO PAY AN OPTION FEE AND TERMINATE THIS CONTRACT AT ANY TIME. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT HAS BEEN PAID, IF THE CONTRACT IS STILL MOVING FORWARD. I AM ASSUMING IT IS.

THE COMMUNICATION HAS BEEN DIFFICULT ON THIS CONTRACT.

WE, AS FAR AS THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, IF THIS PROPERTY SOLD , AND A CLOSING OCCURRED ON OR BEFORE AUGUST 31ST , AND THAT IS KIND OF IMPORTANT . I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER AGAIN TALKING ABOUT, WELL, THERE IS SOMEBODY THAT MIGHT DO SOMETHING, BECAUSE THAT IS ALL WE HAVE HAD NOW FOR THIS WHOLE TIME. IF IT CLOSES WITHIN THAT TIMEFRAME, THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION WOULD ENTERTAIN APPLYING THE NINE-MONTH BUILDING PERIOD OF THAT IS IN THE DECLARATION AND RESTRICTIONS ON THIS SUBDIVISION FROM SEPTEMBER 1ST , JUST TO GIVE SOMEONE A CHANCE TO COMPLETE IT. I DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN THAT. I WOULD VERY MUCH ASK THAT THIS BOARD, WHATEVER THE ACTION WOULD BE NECESSARY, KEEP THIS PROPERTY CONDEMNED, KEEP IT WHERE YOU CAN BRING IT UP ON YOUR AGENDA, BECAUSE , WHILE A CONTRACT FROM AN UNKNOWN NEW MEXICO COMPANY IS BETTER THAN NOTHING , IT HAS NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM . IT IS STILL THERE, STILL IN THE SAME SHAPE, AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. I PROBABLY EXPECT TO BE HERE IN SEPTEMBER, PUT IT ON MY CALENDAR FOR SEPTEMBER 6TH. I THINK THAT IS THE FIRST WEDNESDAY. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS THAT I CAN ANSWER, I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO SO. I WILL NOT GO THROUGH THE LITANY OF WHAT HAS HAPPENED THE LAST THREE YEARS. YOU HEARD IT . IT HADN'T CHANGED. IT HADN'T CHANGED IN TERMS OF ANYTHING BEING DONE TO THAT HOUSE. THANK YOU.

>> MR. CHOATE , I ASSUME BY YOUR TESTIMONY, YOU HAVE HAD NO COMMUNICATION WITH THE POTENTIAL BUYER ?

>> NOT. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO CONTACT THE POTENTIAL BUYER.

AT FIRST, WHAT MR. WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN WE SAW THAT CONTRACT AT THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE , AND WE COULD NOT FIND AN ENTITY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS . THIS CONTRACT DOES NOT IDENTIFY IT AS A NEW MEXICO METHOD LIABILITY COMPANY OR ANYTHING ELSE , IT IS HAS A NAME WITH AN LLC AND A FELLOW THAT SIGNED IT . WE DID NOT KNOW , I MEAN I CAN START OFF IN ALL 50 STATES, I SUPPOSE, BUT WE DID NOT KNOW WHERE TO LOOK. MR. CELL HAS PROVIDED A SOMETHING FROM THE SECRETARY OF

[00:15:10]

STATE'S OFFICE IN NEW MEXICO, INDICATING IT WAS CREATED IN NEW MEXICO, BUT WE HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED. I HAVE HAD MORE THAN ONE CONVERSATION AND AT ONE POINT , I THINK I HAD A VERBAL CONVERSATION WITH THE REALTOR, BUT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AN EMAIL, BUT NOT FROM THE BUYER. THEY MAKE ANY OTHER

QUESTIONS ? >> MR. CHOATE, OF THE $1000

EARNEST MONEY STRIKE YOU AS-- >> RIDICULOUSLY LOW FOR A $400,000 PLUS CONTRACT. I WAS NOT A PART OF THE CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS, AS YOU CAN UNDERSTAND.

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ? THANK YOU, SIR.

>> YES, SIR. >> ANY OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE, PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. MR. MURPHY , I SEE YOU ARE HERE. CAN I INVITE YOU TO THE MICROPHONE?

>> YOU'VE TESTIFIED PREVIOUSLY YOU LIVE DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THIS PROPERTY , COULD YOU TELL US IF THIS PLACE HAS BEEN MOWED AND KEPT CLEAN SINCE NOVEMBER?

>> SINCE THIS SERIES STARTED SOME MONTHS AGO, IT WAS BOARDED UP. AT FIRST, THE DOOR WAS NOT CLASSED, SO IT WAS NOT SECURED. IT HAS BEEN SECURED, AS I HAVE DRIVEN BY IT SINCE.

SOMEBODY BROKE IN , MORE GRAFFITI I THINK, MORE MISCHIEVOUS, OR VANDALISM, OR WHATEVER. I THINK RECENTLY, IT HAS BEEN BOARDED UP. IT IS NOT KEPT CLEAN AND NEEDS TO BE-- I THINK THE PRESIDENT OF OUR HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION HAS CUT THE LAWN, AT LEAST BY THE STREET, CUT THE WEEDS BY THE STREETS, BUT IT IS AN UNKEMPT, UNTIDY, IT IS A TERRIBLE LOOKING PLACE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

>> HAS IT BEEN MOWED AT ALL SINCE NOVEMBER 2ND?

>> I COULD NOT ANSWER THAT FOR SURE. NOT THAT I KNOW OF.

>> ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. MURPHY? THANK YOU, SIR. ANY OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE, PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. SEEING NO ONE , I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE CASE NUMBER 22-00-2791 AND OPENED THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION OR A MOTION. I FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE MAKE SURE THIS SALE GETS CLOSED . IT IS GOING TO CLOSE ON OR BEFORE OUR NEXT SEPTEMBER MEETING . AT MY RECOMMENDATION AND THOUGHT IS THAT WE TABLE THIS FOR ANOTHER 30 DAYS. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION?

>> CAN YOU GET CLOSE -- >> MY NAME IS PATRICIA DON, I AM THE SISTER OF THE OWNER , I GUESS YOU WOULD SAY. IT IS ME AND MY BROTHER'S HOUSE. I TRIED TO DO A QUICK CLAIM DEED A FEW YEARS AGO , SO THAT WAY I WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING. APPARENTLY, THERE IS WAYS AROUND THAT, I DID NOT KNOW IF THAT IS A GOOD THING OR BAD THING. ANYWAY, GOT AN ATTORNEY. TO GET ALL THE PAPERWORK CHANGED AND STUFF LIKE THAT , IT IS GOING TO COST ME A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY AND STUFF. MY BROTHER CAN'T MAINTAIN THIS PROPERTY . I MEAN, HE HAS TRIED FOR YOU. BETWEEN HE AND MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER , THEY HAVE TOTALLY DESTROYED WHAT WAS A LIVABLE AT ONE TIME . SO, WHAT MY PLAN OF ACTION IS , LIKE I SAY, WITH MY ATTORNEY , ME AND MY BROTHER ARE GOING TO SIGN OVER THE RIGHTS TO THE PROPERTY TO MY ELDEST DAUGHTER , JUST TO KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY KIND OF ESS YO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANING OFF THE PLACE , GETTING EVERYTHING BACK TO PAR, THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. I KNOW OUR BIGGEST

[00:30:04]

CONCERN RIGHT NOW IS GETTING THE TRAILER OFF . SINCE THAT DATE IS NOT IN MY BROTHER'S NAME AND NOT IN MY NAME , MY MOM DIED IN 2005, SO I HAVE JUST BEEN PAYING THE TAXES ON IT, LETTING MY BROTHER TAKE OVER THAT, AND OF COURSE HE DID NOT DO THAT EITHER. ANYWAY , THAT IS MY PLAN OF ACTION .

LIKE I SAY, WITH MY ATTORNEY, WE WILL GET THE PAPERWORK DRAWN UP, GET THAT ALL SITUATED, BECAUSE IT HAS TO BE IN SOMEONE'S NAME THAT IS LEAVING TO BE ABLE TO AUTHORIZE I GUESS THE CITY TO CLEAN IT OFF, OR SOMEBODY ELSE. THAT IS MY GOAL , TO GET IT PUT IN SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME. I DON'T CARE FOR IT MYSELF . IT IS A PIECE OF LAND OF MY BROTHER'S.

WHAT CAN I SAY? IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, JUST ASK, BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM DOING, I AM DOING THE BEST I

CAN COME IS ALL I CAN SAY. >> HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WILL TAKE TO GET IT IN YOUR NAME?

>> I AM HOPING LIKE SAY EVERYTHING WILL GO GOOD, AND I WILL HAVE IT DONE-- I KNOW THE PAPERWORK CAN BE DONE ON IT WITHIN A WEEK OR TWO, AND THEN JUST SUBMITTING IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS PAST THAT . I JUST KNOW , THAT IS WHAT MY ATTORNEY TELLS ME WE CAN DO . LIKE SHE SAID, IF YOU ARE AWARE OF ALL OF THIS, MAYBE IT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOO AND IT WILL ALL GET TAKEN CARE OF. THAT IS WHAT I WANT. IT IS A NICE-- TO ME, IT IS DANGEROUS . IT SHOULD NOT BE SITTING THERE.

SIGN IT OVER TO YOU ? >> LAST I SPOKE WITH HIM, HE WAS . MY BROTHER IS OF SPECIAL NEEDS , ANYWAY. HE IS LIKE 13 MENTALLY. HE IS RIGHT AT THAT BORDER, WHERE EVERYBODY FALLS THROUGH THE CRACKS IN HIS OWN WAY. HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE REALITY OF IT, BECAUSE I WAS EXPLAINING TO HIM, HE CAN'T HAVE IT IN HIS NAME FOR THE SIMPLE FACT, HE CAN'T PAY THE TAXES. GET IT DEMOLISHED, HE CAN DO ANYTHING. LIKE I SAY, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HIS FUTURE HOLDS UNTIL AFTER HIS TRIAL.

THAT IS ONE THING THAT IS TAKING A MINUTE . THAT IS AT THE END OF THIS MONTH. I WILL RAMBLE. I AM SORRY.

>> DOES YOUR DAUGHTER HAVE THE FUNDS TO REPAIR THE HOUSE, OR

HAVE IT DEMOLISHED? >> THAT TRAILER IS LIKE 55 YEARS OLD , SO IT HAS HAD ITS HEYDAY. SHE IS WILLING TO GO AHEAD AND EITHER WORK OUT A PLAN WITH THE CITY TO GO AHEAD AND CLEAN IT OFF, AND YOU KNOW SHE CAN MAKE PAYMENTS ON THAT, THAT IS WHAT I HEARD AND TAKE CARE OF IT THAT WAY. I AM JUST WANTING TO GIVE IT TO THE YOUNGSTERS. I DON'T REALLY WANT TO DEAL WITH IT MYSELF, PERSONALLY.

>> DO YOU THINK-- >> I WILL BE SEEING MY BROTHER AFTER TODAY. IT IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE THIS WAY . WE WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE ON THAT. HE REALLY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. HE CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THE PROPERTY, MUCH LESS HIS

OWN SELF. >> MA'AM, YOUR DAUGHTER'S PLAN WOULD BE TO HAVE THE PROPERTY DEMOLISHED? IF YOUR DAUGHTER WERE TO TAKE POSSESSION OR OWNERSHIP, WHAT IS HER PLAN OR WISHES TO HAPPEN TO THE PROPERTY?

>> SHE JUST WANTS TO KEEP IT BECAUSE IT WAS MY MOTHER'S. MY OLDEST GRANDDAUGHTER, MY MOM RAISED HER LIKE FIVE YEARS.

>> WOULD HER WISH BEFORE IT TO BE DEMOLISHED , AND BE A NICE, EMPTY LOT, OR WOULD SHE WANT TO MAKE IT A FUNCTIONING HOUSE? PUT ANOTHER TRAILER ON IT SOME OTHER TIME . I DON'T THINK IT IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING RIGHT OFF THE BAT, THOUGH. JUST HAVING THAT LITTLE PIECE OF PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, SECURE MY DAUGHTER OR MY GRANDDAUGHTER'S YOU KNOW, LITTLE BIT OF A

FUTURE. >> HER PLAN WITH BEFORE THE EXISTING PROPERTY TO BE CLEARED AND ANOTHER LIVABLE UNIT PUT

IN PLACE? >> YEAH, BUT I WOULD SAY PUTTING IN ANOTHER LIVABLE UNIT WOULD BE LIKE A YEAR FROM NOW.

[00:35:02]

>> IT WOULD BE MOSTLY JUST CLEANING IT OFF AND MAKING IT

LOOK GOOD. >> THANK YOU.

>> DO YOU THINK YOU CAN GET IT IN HER NAME WITHIN 30 DAYS?

>> I WILL TRY MY BEST. LIKE I SAY, I WILL TAKE ALL OF THE INFORMATION OVER TO THE ATTORNEY AND SEE WHAT IS NEXT

ON THE AGENDA. >> ANY OTHER QUESTION OF MS. DUNN ? THANK YOU, THIS DONE . ANY OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS CASE, STEP FORWARD, STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

SEEING NO ONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE CASE 23-000982 AND OPENED THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION OR A MOTION.

>> WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO GIVE 30 DAYS TO MAKE SURE IT GETS TRANSFERRED OVER TO THE DAUGHTER? TO COME BACK TO US,

OR COME BACK? >> SURE.

>> I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE IT FOR 30 DAYS .

>> MOTION BY MR. ALLRED THAT WE TABLE THE CASE FOR 30 DAYS, HOPING THAT MS. DUNN CAN GET THE LEGAL WORK DONE. IS THERE

A SECOND? >> I WILL SECOND.

>> SECONDED BY MR. WYATT. ROLL CALL, PLEASE.

[00:40:04]

11, 2023. THERE WAS A STRUCTURE FIRE. THE DAMAGE ESTIMATED TO BE AT $50,000. APRIL 18TH, WE INSPECTED THE PROPERTY , FOUND MAJOR FIRE DAMAGE, PEOPLE LIVING AT ARBY'S, AND OTHER INDIVIDUAL SLEEPING IN THE BACK OF A CAR, JUNK, DEBRIS, HAZARDOUS ELECTRICAL WHILE INSPECTING AROUND HIS PROPERTY. ON THAT DAY, WE POSTED THE NOTICE OF CONDEMNATION ON THE STRUCTURE OF THE FENCE. WE FILED AN AFFIDAVIT OF CONDEMNATION AT THE COURT. A NOTICE WAS SENT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER. JUNE 8TH, WE MET WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER AND HIS FRIEND, CARETAKER . HE UNDERSTOOD THE FIRE DAMAGED STRUCTURE NEEDS TO BE DEMOLISHED AND WE LET HIM KNOW THAT WITH THAT, ALL OF THE LITTLE SHADES IN POOR SHAPE WILL BE DEMOLISHED AT THAT TIME AS WELL. THE PROPERTY OWNER TOLD ME, HE IS ATTEMPTING TO LIVE IN THE METAL BUILDING ON THE PROPERTY, WHICH HAS EXTREMELY UNSANITARY CONDITIONS AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY UTILITIES.

HE WANTS TO TRY TO GET THE LOT SPLIT SO THAT 2858 WOULD BE HIS OWN LOT, WHICH IS NOT NECESSARY. JULY 20TH, PHONE CALL WITH MR. PITTMAN. HE STATED, YOU MUST METAL BUILDING ONLY FOR STORAGE. I ASKED HIM TO TRY TO BE AT THE BOARD HEARING TO EXPLAIN HIS PLANS FOR THAT BUILDING. THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS FINDING THE PROBABLY PROPERTY IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE, HAZARDOUS TO THE SAFETY, WELFARE, AND ORDERED THE OWNER TO DEMOLISH OR APPEAR IN DISTRICT COURT WITHIN 30 DAYS OR THE CITY MAY DEMOLISH.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR BOTH CASES?

>> THE LOT IS ON HEAVY COMMERCIAL, WHICH MEANS, IF WE DEMOLISH THE RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE, WE DON'T HAVE TO DEMOLISH THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING AS WELL. WE CAN GIVE A

SEPARATE ORDER FOR THAT. >> IT MIGHT BE CLEAR TO JUST TELL THE BOARD AGAIN WHICH CASE NUMBER IS THE RESIDENTIAL, SINCE THEY ARE DEMOLISHED UNDER TWO DIFFERENT CASE NUMBERS, OR CONDEMNED UNDER TWO DIFFERENT CASE NUMBERS.

THAT IS THE QUESTION. 2874 PINE WAS DESTROYED BY A FIRE . IT WILL BE TORE DOWN . 100 FEET TO THE SOUTH IS 2858 , THE METAL BUILDING . THE METAL BUILDING IS USED FOR STORAGE. I DO HAVE A CAR PARKED IN THE BACK OF IT, BUT THAT IS WHAT THAT METAL BUILDING IS USED FOR, NOTHING ELSE. AT ONE POINT IN TIME, I HAD TO STAY THERE UNTIL I COULD FIND A PLACE TO GO. I AM NOW STAYING AT 725 MEDICAL DRIVE, AT THE OAKS . THAT IS WHERE I STAY NOW. THE 2858 PINE, THE METAL BUILDING IS A SOUND BUILDING AND IT NEEDS TO BE KEPT UP .

THAT IS WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

>> ANY QUESTION OF MR. PITTMAN? MR. PITTMAN, YOU HAVE A LIFE

ESTATE? >> THE HOMESTEAD ON THE

PROPERTY? >> DO I HAVE A LICENSE FOR IT?

>> NO, A LIFE ESTATE. >> YES, I HAVE A LIFE ESTATE.

>> IS REGGIE PITTMAN, IS HE THE PERSON THAT GRANTED THE LIFE

ESTATE? >> OKAY, REGGIE PITTMAN, --

>> REGINALD VAN PITTMAN IS MY BROTHER. HE IS TWO YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME AND HE IS IN A NURSING HOME ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TOWN. HE IS IN A SAD STATE AND REALLY WORRIED ABOUT

IT. >> IS HE THE ONE THAT GAVE YOU

THE LIFE ESTATE? >> IS HE THE ONE THAT CREATED THE LIFE ESTATE FOR YOUR ASSETS?

>> WELL, IT WAS AT ONE TIME WE ALL HAD IT TOGETHER, MY SISTER, PAULA, REGGIE VAN PITTMAN, MIKE, AND ME .

>> HIS SIBLINGS , HIS SISTER, PAULA AND HIS BROTHER BOTH LIVED THREE MILES FROM HERE AND REGGIE IS IN UNFORTUNATELY A NURSING HOME ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN . HE HAS TAKEN TO

ILL HEALTH AS WELL. >> MY BROTHER IS 175 MILES FROM HERE. MY SISTER IS IN COOKSVILLE, TEXAS, 350 MILES FROM HERE. REGGIE IS , OF COURSE HE IS IN BAD SHAPE, IN A NURSING HOME. THAT IS THE PLAN, TEAR DOWN THE 2874 PINE .

MOVE OVER TO 2858 PINE , CLEAN IT UP LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE CLEANED UP, KEEP IT AS STORAGE. I DO HAVE A CAR, 1978 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL 5 PARKED AT THE BACK OF IT , WHERE I USUALLY KEEP WORK ON MY CARS. THE BUILDING WILL BE USED FOR STORAGE ONLY . I HAVE NO ONE LIVING IN IT. I DID STAY THERE FOR A FEW DAYS AFTER THE HOUSE BURNED, BECAUSE I HAD NO PLACE TO. I AM DOWN AT THE 75 MEDICAL DRIVE , AT THAT MOTEL, HOTEL

OUT THERE. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF MR.

PITTMAN? >> HE DOES UNDERSTAND 2874 IS BEING CONDEMNED AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO SAVE THAT. HIS REQUEST IS SIMPLY THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO KEEP 2858 SO THAT HE CAN TAKE WHAT POSSESSIONS -- TO USE THAT BUILDING, AND HE UNDERSTANDS THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN Y'ALL HAVE FOR BRINGING UP PINE STREET AND HOW YOU WANT IT TO LOOK AND EVERYTHING, AND HE IS WILLING TO WORK WITH WHAT IS IN THE CONFINES OF BRINGING THAT STRUCTURE UP. HE DOES NOT WANT TO LIVE THERE. HE IS IN THE NURSING HOME OVER AT THE OAKS. WE HAD TO SECURE THAT FOR HIM BECAUSE WE HAD A PROBLEM GETTING HIM INTO A FACILITY BECAUSE OF EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES THAT I DO NOT

WISH TO SHARE AT THE MOMENT. >> ANOTHER QUESTION. THAT AREA OF PINE STREET IS A HEAVY WALK BY TRAFFIC . RIGHT DOWN THE STREET IS INTERSTATE 20 AND A FRONTIER MOTEL. I HAVE GONE OUTSIDE TO GET MY PAPER , OUT IN THE FRONT NEXT-DOOR, MY

[00:50:03]

POINT IS TO ABORT THE HOUSE UP, LOCK IT DOWN, TEAR THE HOUSE DOWN, AND OPENS IT UP , IT OPENS THAT WHOLE LOT AND YOU GET TO WALK BY TRAFFIC BE SAFE, DOING EVERYTHING I CAN. THAT HAPPENS NEXT DOOR TO THE PROPERTY THAT IS. I DON'T KNOW WHO OWNS IT NOW, BUT I HAVE GONE OUT SEVERAL TIMES TO GET MY PAPER, SEEMS SEEN PEOPLE SLEEPING OVER THERE. MY POINT IS TO GET IT VOIDED DOWN, KEEP PEOPLE FROM COMING ONTO THE

PROPERTY. >> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER

QUESTIONS ? >> THERE IS ONE REQUEST IN REGARD TO THE PROPERTY THAT IS 1874, THERE IS VERY OLD PECAN TREES ON THAT PARTICULAR CORNER OF THE PROPERTY . HE UNDERSTANDS Y'ALL CAN CONDEMN THE PROPERTY AND IT WILL BE TORN DOWN, BUT HE WOULD LIKE TO ENSURE THAT THE REALLY OLD , IT IS A GIANT, GIANT PECAN TREE, IT IS STILL IN GREAT SHAPE HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THAT TREE NOT TORN DOWN WHEN THEY TEAR THE HOUSE DOWN, IF THEY COULD MAKE A NOTE IN THERE

SOMEWHERE FOR HIM. >> I DON'T THINK ANYBODY TEAR

DOWN ANY TREES. >> UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DO. I WORKED WITH A DEMOLITION COMPANY THAT DOES A LOT OF THE CITY'S CONDITIONS. HE JUST WANTED ME TO PUT A NOTE THAT

PARTICULAR TREE BE SAVED. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK

YOU . >> I GOT A QUESTION, WE HAVE REGGIE PITTMAN GRANTED A LIFE ESTATE TO ALBERT. ISN'T REGGIE THE ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE MAKING DECISIONS HERE?

>> YOU ALL ARE THE ONES THAT NEED TO BE MAKING DECISIONS.

THEY JUST SAID, IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO THE NOTICES PAGE, I NEED TO LOOK AT ALL OF THAT. I THINK EVERYBODY IS --

>> THEY ARE SHOWING A BUILDING .

>> THERE WERE PICTURES OF THE BUILDING . THE FRONT OF THE

BUILDING HAS TO BE SECURED. >> JUST TO GET IT ON AUDIO AND VIDEO, I AM OPENING PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE 23-002568 , 2858 PINE . ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE PITTMAN

FAMILY? >> NO.

>> IF NOT , THANK YOU . I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE 23-001 ZERO 34 , 2874 PINE , AND CASE 23-002568 ,

WHICH IS 2858 PINE . >> I BELIEVE IT WAS PROPERLY NOTICED , BECAUSE IT SHOWS HIM ALSO TO BE THE OWNER.

>> THE SOLE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, CURRENTLY.

>> ACCORDING TO TAYLOR COUNTY. YOU NOTICE EVERYONE THAT IS

LISTED AS THE OWNER. >> OKAY, DOES EVERYONE UNDERSTAND THE REQUEST , THAT THEY AGREED TO TEAR DOWN THE HOUSE, BUT THEY WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THEIR COMMERCIAL BUILDING?

>> IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR MOTION ?

>> I DO HAVE A QUESTION, IF THE BUILDING STAYS, THE AREA AROUND THE BUILDING WOULD BE LEVELED CLEAN ALSO? OR ARE WE SAYING, WE HAVE NO ACTION UNLESS THE BUILDING STAYS? THERE IS A METAL BUILDING ON THE LOT. IF THERE IS JUNK, DEBRIS AND STUFF AROUND IT, IS IT TO BE CLEANED UP?

>> APPARENTLY, IT IS TWO LOTS. >> WHAT I WOULD SAY, IF YOU ARE WANTING TO TREAT THESE DIFFERENTLY, IT MAY BE , THE CLEAREST THING, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE GOING TO TREAT THEM DIFFERENTLY, I WOULD MAKE A MOTION FOR EACH CASE NUMBER, STATE THE CASE NUMBER AND WHAT YOUR MOTION IS, OR AS YOU DISCUSSED, YOU CAN DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE LOT AND BUILDING AND WHAT YOU THINK . THE SHED IS THE CASE ENDING

IN 68. >> MR. MARSH, THE

[00:55:01]

RECOMMENDATION WE HAVE BEFORE US IS CASE 1034, CORRECT ? DO YOU HAVE A RECOMMENDATION FORTHCOMING ON CASE NUMBER

2568? >> I WOULD RECOMMEND A 30/60 FOR THAT ONE. JUST TO CLARIFY, BOTH BUILDINGS ARE ON THE SAME

LOT . IT IS ALL IN ONE LOT. >> THEY ARE ONE LOT?

>> YES, SIR. >> ARE THEY NOT PLATTED? DIFFERENTLY JUST FOR CLARITY? IS IT JUST THAT THEY ARE

ADDRESSED DIFFERENTLY? >> IT IS JUST A DIFFERENT

MAILING ADDRESS. >> ONE LOT WITH TWO ADDRESSES?

>> WE SPLIT THEM INTO TWO CASES, I THINK IT IS STILL CLEAR YOU COULD MAKE A MOTION ON ONE DIFFERENT FROM THE

OTHER. >> WE ARE NOT DEALING WITH

THOUGHTS, JUST CASES. >> AT ONE POINT --

>> STEP BACK TO THE MICROPHONE, PLEASE.

>> FROM THE RESEARCH AND EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE, IN REGARDS TO THE ADDRESS 2858, AT ONE POINT, THAT WAS A COMMERCIAL ADDRESS. IN 1947, 1949 , SOMEWHERE IN THERE, THAT USED TO BE THE ECHO MOBILE HOME AND RV PARK . THAT WAS A COMMERCIAL PIECE . HE ALSO USED TO OWN TWO 850, A COMMERCIAL PIECE , WHICH IS A MOTORCYCLE, BOAT, MARINE AND REPAIR THAT HE SOLD TO A MAN BY THE NAME OF ROCKY SANDERS. THAT GOES FROM PINE TO CEDAR . THE PIECE NEXT TO IT IS THE 2858 . THAT WAS PART OF ORIGINALLY THE RV PARK , WHICH BELONGED TO HIS LATE WIFE, MISS EVELYN. IT WAS THE ECHO MOBILE HOME RV PARK.

THERE ARE 12 PADS AND SUCH THEY GO INTO THE GROUND, WATER AND STUFF THAT ARE STILL ON THE GROUND. THAT GOES HALFWAY TO CEDAR. THE BARN , OR WHAT WE CALL THE BARN, THE PIECE WE ARE TRYING TO SAVE TO YOU AS MR. PITTMAN'S STORAGE FOR ALL OF HIS LEFT OF HER BELONGINGS, IS THE PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT IS 2858, REGISTERED ADDRESS WITH THE POSTAL SERVICE AND EVERYTHING ELSE. 2874 WAS THE HOUSE OF THE ORIGINAL HOMESTEAD. SOMEWHERE IN THE MIX OF ALL OF THE PIECES HE GOT SOLD AND BELONG TO MR. PITTMAN, BECAUSE AT ONE POINT, THEY OWNED ALL MOST EVERYTHING INTO IMPACT. THAT ONE PIECE OF PROPERTY HAS ITS OWN REGISTERED ADDRESS, 2858 . WE JUST WANT IT FOR THE PURPOSE OF SECURING WHATEVER BELONGINGS MR. PITTMAN HAS LEFT . I NEED TO KNOW IF IT IS A COMMERCIAL OR RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE IT GOES COMMERCIAL, COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL, AND YOU HAVE THE SPACE THAT USED TO BE THE RV PARK , WHICH ACTUALLY WAS ITS OWN SUBDIVISION AT ONE POINT . IF THAT HELPS YOU IN

ANYWAY , THAT IS WHAT I KNOW. >> THANK YOU. OKAY, IS THERE A

MOTION ? >> REGARDING CASE 23- 001034 , STAFF RECOMMENDATION, PROPERTY IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND A HAZARD TO THE SAFETY AND WELFARE AND REPAIR THE STRUCTURE WITHIN REASONABLE WITHIN THE ORDER TO DEMOLISH OR APPEAL THE ORDER TO DISTRICT COURT.
