THE NAME FOR THE RECORD. >> MY NAME IS TOM AND REPRESENT THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION IN THE SUBDIVISION. WE ARE BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE. I DO NOT REPRESENT THE BUILDER, TITL COMPANY, REALTOR. I'M GETTING SECONDHAND INFORMATION THAT THI -- I DON'T KNOW HOW THE TITLE COMPANY COULD NOT HAVE KNOWN WHEN THEY ISSUED A COMMITMENT THAT THIS PROPERTY HAD BEEN CONDEMNED. IT'S PUBLIC INFORMATION. WE TALKED ABOUT IT WITH THE REALTOR. WE TALKED ABOUT IT SEVERAL TIMES. IN THE RECENT PAST, IT WAS SENT TO ME. I'M NOT INVOLVED IN THIS TRANSACTION. THE WORD WAS SENT TO ME THE CLOSING WAS OFF AND THE TITLE COMPANY WOULD NOT ISSUE A POLICY AS LONG AS THERE WAS CONDEMNATION ON THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE THEY FELT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AN EXCEPTION THAT COULD NOT BE OVERCOME. TH WORD THEN WAS GIVEN TO ME. CAN' THEY JUST LIST THE CONDEMNATION ? I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO. I DID TALK ABUT IT. WE WANT THE HOUSE TO BE FINISHED. I THINK EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM DOES. BUT WE ARE ALSO FEARFUL. WHILE I HAVE EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THIS YOUNG MAN IS COMING HERE AND TELLING YOU FACTUALLY WHAT HE BELIEVES WILL HAPPEN, IT IS STILL A PROMISE. IT IS STILL VERBALLY SAYING WE WILL GET IN THERE AND GET THE HOUSE FINISHE IN A SIX TO EIGHT MONTHS IF WE CAN GET IT CLOSED AND IF HIS COMPANY AND THE PEOPLE BUYING I THAT HE WILL REPRESENT, IF THEY GET TITLE TO IT. I DON'T WANT A MY FEAR IS AND WOULD LIKE FOR THE BOARD TO HAVE THIS CONCERN THAT WE FIGURE OUT SOME WAY FOR THIS CONDEMNATION TO GO AWAY AN IT STILL DOESN'T CLOSE. THERE'S NO GUARANTEES. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE TITLE COMPAN COULD NOT CLOSE THIS INTO ESCRO OR TITLE TO THE PROPERTY HAS NO CHANGED HANDS BUT THEY ARE PROTECT DID AND THEIR MONEY IS UP SO MR. HIRSCH IS PROTECT IT AND THE CONDITION IS THAT THEY

[00:20:01]

GET IN HERE AND START DOING SOMETHING. THERE'S BEEN NOTHING NOTHING DONE TO THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY. WE ARE WHERE WE HAVE BEEN. WE JUST GOT A NEW PLAYER IN THE MIX NOW THAT HAS, AND INDICATED TO YOU THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO TRY TO CLOSE THIS THING AND REHABILITATE IT AND FINISH IT WITHIN SIX TO EIGHT MONTHS. BEEN THERE AND DONE THA IN TERMS OF PEOPLE IN THE PAST WHO HAVE COME FORWARD ON MR. HIRSCH HIS BEHALF SAYING THEY INTEND TO FINISH THIS GIVEN THI THAT AND THE OTHER. THE CRITICA ISSUE AND YOU HAVE A CAPABLE LAWYER THAT KNOWS A LOT MORE ABOUT THIS AREA OF LAW THAN I DO. THE CRITICAL ISSUE IS DO YO HAVE ANY AUTHORITY TO TAKE THIS OFF THE CONDEMNATION LIST WHEN ALL THE HAZARDS THAT THE CITY HAS SHOWN TO BE IN EXISTENCE AR STILL THERE ? NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO MAKE THIS PROPERTY ANY LESS HAZARDOUS. THE NEXT BREATH I WILL TELL YOU WITH OUT ANY QUESTION THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS UNDER DIFFERENT OWNERSHIP IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO STAR UP CONSTRUCTION AND GET THIS HOUSE FINISHED AND GET THIS OVE WITH. I'M NOT WITH A TITLE COMPANY THAT SAYS THEY WILL NOT BEEN. I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU CAN DO. HAVING SAID THAT, I WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. I YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT CONDEMNATION IN YOUR AUTHORITY TO DO WHAT YOU'VE BEEN ASKED TO DO THIS MORNING, I'M ASSUMING THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE ASKING.

THEY LIFT THE CONDEMNATION. YOU'VE GOT A REVISED CLOSING DATE OF SEPTEMBER 15TH. A WEEK FROM FRIDAY. I KNOW THAT SECONDHAND. WE HAVE TRIED TO KEEP UP WITH THIS. I WILL NOT BORE YOU BY GETTING OUT MY HISTORY OF WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THIS PROPERTY. OBVIOUSLY, I'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH IT SINCE MAY OF 2020. TO NO END TO THIS POINT. NO QUESTIONS. I WILL SIT

DOWN AND BE QUIET. >> ANY QUESTIONS ?

>> THANK YOU, SIR. >> ANY OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE ? PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. MR. SELF ? ANYTHIN TO SAY QUICK

>> NO, YOUR HONOR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN ADD OTHER THAN WHAT THE HOPEFUL OWNER ADDED. I KNOW EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM JUST WANTS THIS TO BE FINISHED. I'VE BEEN ADVISED OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE TITLE COMMITMENT. I DON'T HAVE A CLUE HOW TO FIX THAT. WE'VE DISCUSSED IT BUT DISH I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CAN DO. YOU'VE BENT OVER BACKWARDS AND WE APPRECIATE IT. WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO GETTING THIS DONE MAYBE THE SMARTEST LAWYER IN THE ROOM ON THIS ISSUE CAN GUID YOU. I'M NOT THAT LAWYER. IF YO HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I ANSWER THEM IF I CAN.

>> WE APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT OVE THE LAST FEW MONTHS. THANK YOU.

FORWARD TO EVERY FIRST MONDAY OF THE MONTH SORRY FIRST

WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH. >> THANK YOU. ANY OTHERS WISHIN TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE ? I ALSO AM MYSTIFIED WHY THIS IS A LAST-MINUTE NOTICE WHEN YOU HAD 60 DAY CLOSING PERIOD. WHY WE ARE NOW JUST FINDING THIS OUT. CAN WE LIFT THE CONDEMNATION FO

TWO WEEKS ? >> I HAVE NOTHING IN THE ORDINANCE WITH THE STATE LAW THAT WOULD GIVE YOU THE AUTHORITY TO LIST THE CONDEMNATION. WHEN IT'S REPAIRE IT'S BROUGHT OUT OF CONDEMNATION.

>> WE DON'T HAVE ANY AUTHORITY TO DO THAT ?

>> THE CODE IS SILENT ON THAT ISSUE.

>> THERE'S NO PRESIDENTS FOR IT

>> RIGHT. PEOPLE HAVE EITHER REPAIRED THE PROPERTY OR IT'S

[00:25:06]

BEEN DEMOLISHED. QUITE OFTEN WE'VE HAD NEW OWNERS THAT DIDN' ORIGINALLY OWNED IT WHEN IT WAS CONDEMNED. IT WAS PURCHASED AT REPAIRED AND BROUGHT OUT OF CONDEMNATION BY A NEW OWNER.

>> THE CITY CONDEMNED IT AND WE UPHELD THAT.

>> CORRECT. >> WITH THE CITY BE ABLE TO TAK

IT OUT ? >> THE TECHNICAL SIDE -- THE BUILDING GOES THROUGH THAT PROCESS. I WOULD DEFER TO THE

BUILDING OFFICIAL. >> ANY OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK

ON THIS CASE ? >> WE WERE SUPPOSED TO CLOSE ON THIS ON -- AT THE END OF AUGUST THE CLOSING COMPANY TOLD US ABOUT THE CONDEMNATION AND WOUL NOT BE ABLE TO CLOSE. MAYBE WE COULD GET SOME LETTER SAYING THAT THE CONDEMNATION WILL BE RELEASED UPON CLOSING AND COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT AT TH VERY LEAST. SOMETHING LIKE THAT ANOTHER ISSUE WE HAVE IS WE HAV ONE OF OUR CONTRACTORS GETTING CONTRACTORS PERMIT HERE. SHE WILL COME UP AND MANAGE THIS PROJECT FOR US. SHE'S UNABLE TO PULL PERMITS ON THE PROPERTY. THEY SAID WE HAD TO GO --

>> I'M SORRY. YOU NEED TO PICK UP THE MICROPHONE UP.

>> I'M SORRY. DO YOU WANT ME T START FROM THE BEGINNING ?

>> PLEASE. >> ORIGINAL WE HAD A CLOSING DATE AT THE END OF AUGUST. RIGH BEFORE THE CLOSING IS WHEN TITL TOLD US ABOUT THE CONDEMNATION. WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CLOSE BECAUSE OF THE CONDEMNATION. THAT WAS AN EXCEPTION TO THE TITLE POLICY. POTENTIALLY, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS MAY WORK. AT THE LEAST, MAYBE A LETTER STATING THAT UPON CLOSING OF TH PROPERTY AND REHABILITATION THE THE CONDEMNATION WILL BE RELEASED. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WILL SUFFICE FOR THE TITLE COMPANY. IT MAY BE AN OPTION IF WE CAN'T FIND ANOTHER SOLUTION.

ANOTHER CONCERN I HAVE IS WE HAVE A CONTRACT -- CONTRACTOR THAT APPLY FOR THE CONTRACTORS PERMIT. HER NAME IS PAULA SUTHERLAND. FROM MY KNOWLEDGE, SHE HAS BEEN APPROVED AND TRIED TO START OBTAINING PERMITS ON THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE THE PERMITS HAVE EXPIRED. SHE WAS TOLD SHE CANNOT PULL PERMITS ON THIS PROPERTY UNTIL SOMETHING I FIGURED OUT AT THE HEARING. I'M NOT SURE WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIGURED OUT FOR THAT MATTER.

>> DO YOU HAVE A NEW CLOSING DATE ON THE 15TH OF SEPTEMBER ? THIS HEARING TO RESOLVE THIS. A SOON AS WE CAN FIND A RESOLUTIO

THEN WE CAN CLOSE. >> IF THE CONDEMNATION IS LIFTE

FOR THAT DATE, IT WILL CLOSE ? >> IF THE CONDEMNATION IS LIFTE BEFORE THAT DATE, YES, WE SHOUL CLOSE.

>> FOR THAT DATE QUICK >> FOR THE SPECIFIC DAY, -- DATE, I'M NOT QUITE SURE. I'M SURE THAT WOULD SUFFICE.

>> ANYONE HAVE QUESTIONS ? AT THIS TIME, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE# 22-002791 . MR. BILLING ?

>> I'VE NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE. DID YOU SAY YOU HAD COST

ESTIMATES ? >> YES.

>> GETTING A PERMIT WILL BE NO PROBLEM. WE HAVE THIS BOARD OR THIS DAY TO GO THROUGH. WE CAN GET A PERMIT. ARE YOU SAYING THAT A LETTER WOULD SUFFICE THA UPON COMPLETION OF ALL RE

[00:30:03]

THAT THE COMBINATION WOULD BE LIFTED ?

>> THAT IS SOMETHING I PROPOSED

>> YOU HAVE PROPOSED THAT OR YO WILL PROPOSE THAT TO THE TITLE

COMPANY ? >> THAT'S JUST A PROPOSAL I CAM

UP WITH HERE. >> OKAY. THAT WOULD BE NO PROBLEM. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS. WHEN WE COMPLETE THE PROJECT, IT'S RELEASED FROM CONDEMNATION WE CAN DO THAT.

>> WHAT I WAS REFERENCING IS WHEN THOSE PERMITS ARE CLOSED OUT WHEN THE MEAT THE PERMIT, PLUMBING, THOSE PERMITS IS WHAT I WAS REFERRING IF YOU WANTED TO SPEAK TO THAT. THAT'S WHAT BRINGS IT OUT OF CONDEMNATION. THE CONDEMNATION IS SIMPLY A STATEMENT IT IS SUBSTANDARD AND NOT HABITABLE. IT IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY -- YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T SAY NOW IT'S HABITABLE.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED. I PRESUME THE REASON WHY THE VISUAL HE MENTIONED COULD NOT PULL PERMIT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT THE OWNERS ON ALL THE ROUGH AND'S PASSING, WITH THAT BE ABBREVIATED

REINSPECTION QUICK >> I DON'T THINK THERE'S DOCUMENTATION THAT THE ROUGH IN HAVE PASSED.

>> I THOUGHT THEY PASSED. >> NO, SIR. THERE WERE TWO

INSPECTIONS. >> PLUMBING ROUGH IN AND FOUNDATION INSPECTION. THEY BUILT. THE NEXT PART OF THE INSPECTIONS YOUR ROUGH IN ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL. THOS

HAVE NOT BEEN DONE. >> MAYBE WE NEED TO GO INTO

[EXECUTIVE SESSION]

EXECUTIVE SESSION.

EXECUTIVE SESSION HAS ENDED. NO DECISIONS WERE MADE. THE BOARD

OF BUILDING STANDARD HAS NOW RECONVENED. I MAY SAY THAT WE HAD NO LEGAL PRESIDENTS FOR LIFTING THE CONDEMNATION. THAT RESPONSIBILITY DOES REST WITH THE BUILDING OFFICIAL. THAT BEING SAID, IS THERE A MOTION ?

>> I MAKE A MOTION WE GIVE A 30/60.

>> 30 DAYS TO PROVIDE A PLAN O ACTION INCLUDING A TIMEFRAME AN OBTAIN ALL PERMITS. IF THIS IS THAT IN 60 DAYS TO OBTAIN ROUGH IN EXPECTIONS. THIS IS DONE, AL INSPECTIONS SHOULD BE COMPLETED

BY THE COMPLETION. >> IS THERE A SECOND QUICK

>> SECOND BY MR. DUGGER. THE OWNER IS PROVIDED 30 DAYS TO PROVIDE A PLAN OF ACTION INCLUDING A TIMEFRAME FOR REPAI AND COST ESTIMATES AND OBTAIN ALL PERMITS. IF THIS IS DONE 60 DAYS TO OBTAIN ROUGH IN INSPECTIONS AND IF THIS IS DONE ALL FINAL INSPECTIONS SHALL BE COMPLETED BY THE EXPIRATION OF ALL PERMITS. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ? I WILL OPEN TO PUBLIC HEARING. THIS IS ON CASE 22-002791.

>> WILL WE BE ABLE TO GET A LETTER STATING IF WE CLOSE ON THIS AND GET PERMITS CONDEMNATION WILL NOT BE AN

ISSUE. >> I WILL WORK WITH YOU ON THAT

ABSOLUTELY. >> PERFECT. OKAY.

>> THANK YOU. >> I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE# 22-002791 . AN COMMENTS ?

>> I WANT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT THE MOTION IS. THIS

[00:35:02]

GENTLEMAN'S COMPANY IS NOT THE OWNER. I UNDERSTAND ALL YOU CAN DO IS MAKE AN ORDER TO THE OWNE IS WHAT I'M HERE TO EVERETT THA MAY BE. IT'S A REGULAR 30/60 DA ORDER JUST LIKE WE HAD FIVE MONTHS AGO. IF IN THE MEANTIME SALE OCCURS AND THERE'S A NEW

OWNER, WHAT HAPPENS ? >> THEY CAN SELL -- CLOSE AND PULL THE PERMITS WITHIN THE TIMEFRAME. IF THAT PROPERTY IS SOLD AND PERMITS ARE PULLED, THIS CASE WILL NOT BE BACK TO THE BOARD. IF THAT OCCURS AND THE NEW OWNERS PULLED THE PERMITS AND MEETS THE TIME FRAMES THE BOARD HAS ORDERED.

IT'S VERY DOABLE AND THE ORDER RUNS WITH THE LAND A NEW OWNER CAN FOLLOW THE BOARDS ORDER JUS AS THE CURRENT OWNER COULD. THE CURRENT OWNER CAN PULL PERMITS AND THE NEW OWNER CAN PULL

PERMITS. >> ARE PERMITS TRANSFERABLE ? THE OWNER RIGHT NOW IS MR. HIRSCH. IF HE OR SOMEONE ON HIS BEHALF PULLS THOSE PERMITS AND THE SALE DID CLOSE, THESE FOLKS WOULD HAVE TO START OVER AGAIN IN TERMS OF PERMIT.

>> YES. THANK YOU. >> IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK ? SEEING NO ONE, CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE# 22-002791 . THERE IS A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. ROLL CALL.
