AND I GOTTA START TRYING TO FIX IT BACK UP AGAIN.

I'VE BEEN A CARPENTER ON MY LIFE, AND I GOT FRIENDS THAT ARE PLUMBERS AND BRICKLAYERS, ROOFERS.

AND THEY'RE ALL IN THE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS, AND.

AND I'M DISABLED, AND I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WORK.

I AIN'T GOT NO MONEY.

AND I ASKED THEM IF THERE WAS SOME PEOPLE WHO COULD HELP ME, AND THEY GAVE ME SOME NUMBERS FROM I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS.

I'M IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING MY SOCIAL SECURITY REINSTATED, AND NOBODY'S STAYING THERE, BUT I GOT TO LOOK AFTER IT AND TRY TO FIX IT UP AGAIN.

I AIN'T GOT THE MONEY TO GET A CONTRACTOR AND OR NOR LICENSED CONTRACTOR OR NOTHING.

BUT LIKE I WAS SAYING, I GOT FRIENDS THAT ARE CARPENTERS, PLUMBERS ROOFERS.

THEY ARE WORKING THE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS.

I'VE BEEN DOING CONSTRUCTION ALL MY LIFE, AND THEY COULD HELP ME FIX IT UP.

AND I NEED SOME.

I NEED SOME HELP OR SOME TIME TO GET IT, TO TRY TO FIX IT UP AGAIN, BECAUSE I HAD TO FIX IT UP BEFORE, SIR.

I HAD TO REMODEL THE NEW WINDOWS AND THE NEW CABINETS.

EVERYTHING WAS NEW.

BUT THEN I LEFT TOWN AND THEN PEOPLE STARTED TO BREAK IN AND STARTED BREAKING IN THE WINDOWS AND BREAKING THE SHEETROCK AND DOING ALL KINDS OF STUFF TO IT.

AND NOW IT'S IT'S NOT IN SUCH BAD CONDITION THROUGH THE INSIDE, IT'S LIVABLE.

BUT THE WINDOWS I NEED THE WINDOWS AND THE WINDOWS, A LITTLE BIT OF SIDING AND THAT'LL, THAT'LL DO IT SO IT'S LIVABLE IN THE INSIDE.

I JUST GOT TO GET THE WATER AND THE ELECTRICITY BACK ON AND CUT THE YARD AND GET IT, YOU KNOW, GET IT NICE AGAIN.

BUT I'LL HAVE THE MONEY TO FOR A CONTRACTOR OR NOTHING.

LIKE I SAID, I GOT FRIENDS THAT I WORK IN THE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS AND THEY COULD HELP ME FIX IT UP.

AND I'M GOING TO COME BACK OVER HERE TO ABILENE AND TRY TO WORK ON IT.

I GOT TO CUT THE YARD AND TRY WORKING AND GET IT.

GET IT LIKE YOU WERE SAYING, SANITIZE THROUGH THE OUTSIDE.

AND THEN I START WORKING ON THE WINDOWS AND THE SIDING AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

BUT RIGHT NOW, I AIN'T GOT NO KIND OF INCOME, NO SOURCE.

I'M WAITING ON MY SOCIAL SECURITY.

IT'LL BE REINSTATED AGAIN.

AND THAT'S THAT.

I DON'T WANT NOTHING BAD TO HAPPEN TO MY HOUSE.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING I HAVE.

I BOUGHT IT IN 2007 WHEN I HAD A CONSTRUCTION ACCIDENT, AND THAT'S WHEN I GOT DISABLED.

AND THAT'S THE ONLY PROPERTY I HAVE.

AND I DON'T WANT I DON'T WANT NOTHING TO HAPPEN TO IT.

BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN LIVING HERE SINCE.

I AIN'T GOT THE MONEY FOR THE LIGHT AND OR THE ELECTRIC OR FOR THE ELECTRICITY OR THE WATER.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT REALLY TO DO.

TAXES ARE PAID FOR.

EVERYTHING IS PAID FOR BY THE CASH MONEY.

AND SO I DON'T I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO.

IF YOU HAVE IF YOU HAVE NO ABILITY OR RESOURCES TO FIX IT UP, IT SEEMS TO ME THE LOGICAL THING WOULD BE TO PUT IT IN THE HANDS OF SOMEBODY THAT DOES HAVE THE ABILITY. SO, I MEAN, IT CAN'T GO ON LIKE IT'S BEEN GOING ON.

YES, SIR. SO DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO SAY, MA'AM? BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS MUCH.

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

HELLO? LENA ORTIZ.

I'M THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE.

THERE WAS A FIRE.

JULY 4TH OF LAST YEAR.

THERE IS STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, BUT WE HAVE SINCE GOTTEN SERVICEMASTER TO COME IN, AND HE HAS GIVEN US BASICALLY AN ITEMIZED LIST AND THE COST OF WHAT IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR EACH ROOM.

AND A TOTAL OF ROUGHLY $63,000 TO REPAIR THE STRUCTURE INSIDE AND OUT.

NOW I DO WORK A FULL TIME JOB, AND I'M.

I WAS A SINGLE MOM.

I RAISED MY KIDS IN THE HOUSE.

WE DO NOT LOOK TO DEMOLISH THE HOUSE.

I'D LIKE TO KEEP IT, BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY THING I REALLY HAVE THAT'S MINE.

OTHER THAN MY KIDS.

I DO, I WORK AT HARDIN-SIMMONS.

I'M A HEAD BAKER.

I, MY BOYFRIEND AND I, WE GO, WE TRY TO GO ON THE WEEKENDS TO DEMOLISH, TO GUT OUT THE HOUSE.

JARED JETER FROM SERVICEMASTER SAID THAT WE COULD GO IN AND TEAR OUT AND GUT OUT THE SHEETROCK BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO ANYWAY.

IF I CAN SAVE MONEY ON TRYING TO DO THAT, THAT'S WHAT I PREFER TO DO.

WE DON'T WORK DURING AUGUST, I MEAN, DURING MAY TO AUGUST.

SO WE HAD PLANNED ON GOING IN AND REALLY TEARING OUT THE MAJORITY OF THE SHEETROCK WHERE THE WATER DAMAGE FROM THE FIRE AND THE SMOKE DAMAGE WAS GOING. SO WE I HAD TALKED TO JARED AND ASKED HIM IF HE COULD COME IN IN AUGUST TO START REPAIRS.

BECAUSE WHAT WE CAN DO OURSELVES, WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR.

AND RIGHT NOW I'M CURRENTLY WORKING TWO JOBS.

I WORK IN HARDIN-SIMMONS IN THE MORNING, AND I WORK AT WALMART AT NIGHT FROM 4 TO 8.

I ALSO DONATE PLASMA, AND ALL OF THAT IS TO ENSURE THAT MY HOUSE IS GOING TO GET PAID FOR WITH THE REPAIRS, BECAUSE I IT'S DEVASTATING TO ME THAT THE FIRE HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

IT'D BE EVEN MORE IF IT WAS TAKEN AWAY.

SO I MEAN, THAT'S I GUESS THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

IT'S IT'S JUST HARD.

IT'S VERY HARD FOR ME.

SO. THOUGH YOUR INTENT IS TO FIX IT UP AND YES, LIVE IN IT.

YES, I DO HAVE PICTURES WHERE WE HAVE GUTTED OUT THE CABINETS IN THE KITCHEN AND THE SHEETROCK IN THE HALLWAY, THE FRONT DOORS THE BATHROOM.

WE'VE STARTED IN THE BATHROOM WHERE WE'VE GUTTED OUT BECAUSE THE MAIN FIRE WAS AT THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE WHERE THE BATHROOM AND THE FRONT DOOR AND THE KITCHEN WAS.

AND WE'VE ALREADY GUTTED OUT SHEETROCK AND ONE SMALL BEDROOM, AND WE'VE STARTED IN THE BATHROOM.

[00:45:04]

SO I MEAN, WE'RE I'M DETERMINED.

DO YOU HAVE A GRASP OF WHAT THE 30 DAY AND THE 60 DAY TIME FRAMES ARE? IF WE GRANT THAT WHERE YOU HAVE, YOU'VE ALREADY GOT THE PLAN OF ACTION.

YES. IF NEED BE, I WILL CALL SERVICE MASTER AND HAVE THEM COME IN SOONER.

IF I HAVE TO.

THAT'S FINE WITH ME.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, I CAN ALWAYS CALL HIM IN AND HAVE HIM COME IN SOONER TO START REPAIRING THE HOUSE.

BUT I JUST WANTED TO DO AS MUCH WORK AS I COULD MYSELF.

SURE. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE PERMIT PROCESS WHERE YOU HAVE TO GET PERMITS BEFORE YOU? YES. JARED SAID HE WOULD GET THE PERMITS FOR ME.

SINCE WE'RE GOING THROUGH HIM.

HE WOULD DO THE THE LIGHT, THE ELECTRICIAN, THE WATER, I MEAN, THE PLUMBING AND ALL THAT STUFF.

HE WOULD HAVE EVERYTHING IN FILE FOR ME.

OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? WAS THIS YOUR RESIDENCE BEFORE THE FIRE? YES, IT WAS A HABITAT HOME THAT I BOUGHT.

WE'VE. LIKE I SAID, I RAISED MY KIDS IN IT.

I WAS A SINGLE MOM.

I GOT INTO HABITAT, A FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME ABOUT IT, AND I GOT INTO IT AND PURCHASED MY HOME, AND I KEPT IT.

IT'S STILL MINE. AND AND IT'S JUST UNFORTUNATE THIS HAS HAD HAPPENED.

SO RIGHT NOW I LIVE WITH MY MOM.

I TRY TO HELP TAKE CARE OF HER.

SHE'S 82 AND TRY TO LIVE KIND OF BACK AND FORTH AT THE TIME.

BUT MY SON WAS STARING, STAYING WITH ME AND AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE, MY GRANDKIDS WERE INSIDE AND HE WAS INSIDE TOO.

SO. BUT I MEAN, I JUST I REALLY AM DETERMINED.

I DON'T LET LITTLE THINGS KEEP ME FROM DOING WHAT I HAVE TO DO.

ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, MR. ORTIZ. THANK YOU.

MAY 2ND OF 2023, A STOP WORK ORDER STICKER NOTICE WAS PLACED ON THE PROPERTY FENCE DUE TO A NEW CONSTRUCTION ON A VACANT RESIDENTIAL LOT TAKING PLACE WITHOUT A PERMIT.

MAY 11TH OF 2023 WE STARTED A CASE FOR A NEW CONSTRUCTION WITHOUT A PERMIT.

THEN WE SENT NOTICE TO THE PROPERTY OWNER BY REGULAR MAIL.

MAY 23RD OF 2023.

WE HAD NO CONTACT FROM THE OWNER.

WE SENT A NOTICE OF VIOLATION TO THE PROPERTY OWNER BY CERTIFIED MAIL.

JUNE 2ND OF 2023.

WE MADE CONTACT WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER AND HE EXPLAINED THAT HE NEEDED A STOP WORK AND OBTAIN A PERMIT PRIOR TO RESTARTING WORK.

HE ASKED HOW TO OBTAIN A PERMIT.

THE PROPERTY OWNER IS IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY AND IS THE OWNER OF FLORES CONSTRUCTION, WHICH IS NOT REGISTERED WITH THE CITY OF ABILENE.

JUNE 29TH OF 2023.

WE INSPECTED THE PROPERTY AND OBSERVED THE STOP WORK ORDER NOTICE WAS REMOVED FROM THE FENCE AND THERE WAS NOW A SECOND STRUCTURE BEING BUILT.

NO PERMIT HAD BEEN APPLIED FOR.

WE PLACED A STOP WORK ORDER NOTICE ON THE PROPERTY FOR THE SECOND TIME.

ON JUNE 30TH OF 2023, A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH THE MUNICIPAL COURT TO ADDRESS THE CONSTRUCTION WITHOUT A PERMIT.

JUNE 5TH OF 2023.

WE INSPECTED THE PROPERTY.

BOTH STOP WORK ORDER STICKER NOTICES WERE REMOVED AND THE STOP WORK ORDER STICKER NOTICES SPECIFICALLY STATE THIS NOTICE SHALL NOT BE REMOVED EXCEPT BY THE BUILDING INSPECTIONS DIVISION. JULY 5TH, 2023 THE PROPERTY OWNER CAME INTO CITY HALL.

HE SPOKE TO THE CODE OFFICER AS WELL AS A REP FROM THE THE ZONING DEPARTMENT, AND WAS EXPLAINED ALL THE REQUIREMENTS TO GET A PERMIT.

JULY 12TH OF 2023.

ADDITIONAL WORK ON THE STRUCTURE WAS COMPLETED THAT WE POSTED A STOP WORK ORDER NOTICE AT THE PROPERTY FOR THE THIRD TIME.

SEPTEMBER 14TH OF 2023.

WE FOUND A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF NEW WORK WAS COMPLETED ON THE PROPERTY.

WE FILED A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT WITH THE MUNICIPAL COURT FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER'S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE STOP WORK ORDER.

SEPTEMBER 18TH OF 2023, A PERMIT WAS APPLIED FOR SEPTEMBER 19TH OF 23.

THE APPLICANT MET WITH PLANNING AND ZONING.

THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS WERE EXPLAINED TO THE PROPERTY OWNER.

THE PERMIT WAS DENIED AND HE WAS TOLD THE PERMIT CAN BE REAPPLIED FOR IF THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS CAN BE MET.

OCTOBER 10TH OF 2023.

THE CONDEMNATION CASE WAS OPENED DUE TO THE CONTINUATION OF WORK.

AFTER SEVERAL STOP WORK ORDER NOTICES WERE POSTED, VERBAL INSTRUCTIONS TO STOP WORK WERE GIVEN TO THE OWNER, AND THE STOP WORK ORDER NOTICE SIGNED BY THE BUILDING OFFICIAL WAS SENT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER.

OCTOBER 13TH OF 2023.

WE SEND A CONDEMNATION NOTICE TO THE OWNER.

OCTOBER 18TH OF 23 WE MET WITH THE OWNER AT CITY HALL AND EXPLAINED THE PERMANENT REQUIREMENTS.

HE ALSO MET WITH THE ZONING REP SO THEY COULD EXPLAIN WHY THE PERMIT WAS DENIED AND WHAT HE COULD DO TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS.

DECEMBER 12TH OF 23, THE PROPERTY OWNER CAME INTO CITY HALL AND MET WITH THE PLANNING AND ZONING.

HE WAS INSTRUCTED AGAIN ON WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO TO MEET THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS.

TO MEET THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS, HE NEEDS TO PLAT OBTAIN A FOUNDATION FORM BOARD SURVEY DUE TO THE STRUCTURE POSSIBLY NOT MEETING SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.

IF THESE REQUIREMENTS CAN'T BE MET, HE HAS TO MOVE THE STRUCTURE AND SLAB OR DEMOLISH FOR THE BUILDING INSPECTION SIDE, HE NEEDS TO PROVIDE VARIOUS PLANS, INCLUDING A FOUNDATION PLAN, AND SINCE THE FOUNDATION HAS ALREADY BEEN COMPLETED AND ENGINEER'S APPROVAL IS REQUIRED FOR THE FOUNDATION AND EXISTING STRUCTURE.

DECEMBER 18TH OF 23.

THE OWNER IS NOW IN THE PROCESS OF THE PLAT REVIEW.

JULY 3RD OF 2024.

AT THE BOARD HEARING, THE BOARD ORDERED 60 DAYS TO OBTAIN ALL PERMITS AND PROVIDE A PLAN OF ACTION AND COST ESTIMATES AND, IF THIS IS DONE, 30 DAYS TO OBTAIN RELEVANT INSPECTIONS.

JULY 3RD OF 2020 FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING REVIEW THE PLAT REQUEST AND ASKED FOR SOME CLERICAL CHANGES TO BE MADE, AND ALSO REQUESTED THAT THE OWNER REMOVE THE UNFINISHED ONE STORY HOUSE FROM THE LOT.

JANUARY 31ST OF 2020, FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER AND TRANSLATOR, CAME INTO CITY HALL TO DISCUSS THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PERMIT.

I GAVE THEM A PRINTOUT OF ALL OF THE REASONS THE PERMIT WAS DENIED AND WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO.

[01:00:03]

FEBRUARY 23RD OF 2024 I PROVIDED THAT SAME LIST OF REQUIREMENTS BY EMAIL TO THE FRIEND TRANSLATOR OF THE PROPERTY OWNER.

THE NOTICE OF THE APRIL HEARING WAS POSTED AT THE PROPERTY.

MARCH 12TH OF 24TH.

I CONTACTED THE PERSON ASSISTING THE OWNER TO ASK FOR AN UPDATE.

MARCH 18TH THE NOTICE OF THE APRIL HEARING WAS SENT TO THE OWNER.

MARCH 25TH I HADN'T RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM THE PERSON ASSISTING THE OWNER ON GETTING AN UPDATE.

I SENT ANOTHER REQUEST FOR UPDATE AND STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED ONE.

ON MARCH 25TH, WE INSPECTED THE PROPERTY AND OBSERVED AT LEAST A DOZEN CARS AND TRAILERS PARKED ON THE NON PAVED SURFACE ON A RESIDENTIAL LOT.

THE PROPERTY ALSO HAS AN UNAUTHORIZED FENCE THAT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED.

THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO FIND THE PROPERTY AS A PUBLIC NUISANCE, AND THAT IS A HAZARD TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE.

IMPAIR OF THE STRUCTURE WOULD BE UNREASONABLE AND ORDER THE OWNERS ORDER TO DEMOLISH OR APPEAL THE ORDER TO DISTRICT COURT WITHIN 30 DAYS, OR THE CITY MAY DEMOLISH.

ANY QUESTIONS OF MR. MARSH? JUST TO BE CLEAR.

THE REASON THAT THE PLANNING AND ZONING HAS A PROBLEM IS THE PROPERTY IS BUILT IN AN AREA WHERE IT PHYSICALLY CAN'T BE LOCATED AND WOULD HAVE TO BE DEMOLISHED OR.

HE'S NEVER PROVEN THAT HE WAS ABLE TO MEET THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS FOR ZONING.

WE HAD. THIS HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO THIS COMMITTEE BEFORE, RIGHT? YES, SIR. YOU HAD ORDERED THE BOARD ORDERED 60 DAYS TO OBTAIN ALL PERMITS AND PROVIDE A PLAN OF ACTION AND COST ESTIMATES.

AND IF THIS IS DONE, 30 DAYS TO OBTAIN RELEVANT INSPECTIONS BACK ON JANUARY 3RD.

THANK YOU. BUT ONCE AGAIN, TO BE CLEAR, ANY PLAN OF ACTION HE PRESENTED WOULD HAVE TO INCLUDE TEARING THE BUILDING DOWN AND MOVING IT SOMEWHERE ELSE, POTENTIALLY.

BUT HE NEVER BROUGHT IN A SURVEY TO SHOW WHETHER HE MET THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS OR NOT.

WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE REPLANTING EFFORT? IT'S INCOMPLETE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, MR. MARSH.

AT THIS TIME, I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE 20 3-004765.

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

MY NAME IS ULISES FLORES.

I'M A LITTLE BIT OF SPEAK ENGLISH.

I'M TRYING TO CALL RIGHT NOW.

YEAH. SHE'S NOT.

LET ME CHECK. WE USED TO HAVE A SERVICE THAT THAT WE COULD LET ME GO CHECK TO SEE IF THAT'S AVAILABLE.

YOU KNOW THE GUN, H.R..

DO WHAT? THERE'S A MAN IN HR THAT SPEAKS SPANISH.

OKAY, IF WE CAN JUST EITHER SIT TIGHT OR TAKE A FIVE MINUTE RECESS, IT'S UP TO YOU.

BUT I'LL BE.

WE CAN TAKE A FIVE MINUTE RECESS AT THIS TIME.

934. WE'LL RECESS FOR FIVE MINUTES.

WE DO HAVE A HEARING OPEN ON CASE 20 3-004765. COULD YOU STEP FORWARD AGAIN, PLEASE? WE HAVE A TRANSLATOR.

COULD YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELF, PLEASE? YES. MY NAME IS FRIDA MIRANDA DAILY.

OKAY. HE HE HAD SOMETHING HE WANTED TO TELL US.

DECIRLES A ELLOS.

IN CUESTION DE LA PROPIEDAD.

FIRST. LOS ESTIMADOS DE LA PROPIEDAD.

[01:05:04]

HE SAID THAT HE BROUGHT WHATEVER WAS HE SAID HE BROUGHT WHATEVER WAS TOLD TO HIM TO BRING AS FAR AS ESTIMATES OF THE PROPERTY.

HE SAID HE'S JUST BRINGING DOCUMENTATION THAT WAS TOLD TO HIM TO BRING IN.

OKAY. AND THAT'S ALL HE HAS TO DE LA DEL.

HE SAID HE HAS INSPECTION PAPERS OF THE PROPERTY.

SO I'M NOT SURE IF YOU GUYS ARE NEEDING TO LOOK AT THE DOCUMENTS THAT HE'S BRINGING IN.

BUT HE SAID THAT'S ALL HE HAS TO SAY.

OKAY. COULD YOU ASK HIM IF HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION HERE IS THAT'S ON THE SCREEN? COULD WE PULL THAT UP ON THE SCREEN SO SHE COULD INTERPRET IT FOR HIM? OKAY. PROPERTY IS A.

OKAY. ARRIBA! ESTE DE LA PROPIEDAD.

QUÉ ES UN PELIGRO PARA LA SALUD Y EL PUBLICO.

USTED ENTIENDA ARRIBA.

OH. UN UN PELIGRO.

HE'S ASKING WHAT HE SAID.

HE JUST DOESN'T REALLY HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF AS FAR AS THE PROPERTY IS CONCERNED.

NOLAN. EXPLICADO USTED? NADA DE LA PROPIEDAD.

NO, NO.

SABE USTED NADA.

ESTA PRIMERA VEZ AQUI NO LE DICEN.

COMO. PARA TODO ESTO.

LO 60 PARA CONTINUAR CON LA CONSTRUCCION PARA LOS PERMISOS PORQUE CUANDO LOS PERMISOS.

HE SAID HIS ONLY UNDERSTANDING REGARDING THE PROPERTY IS HIM.

PRESENTING TO YOU GUYS ESTIMATES.

AND HE HAS A LIST OF ALL THE ESTIMATES.

BUT HE SAID THAT IT'S ALL HIS UNDERSTANDING REGARDING THE PROPERTY AND ALL OF THIS RIGHT HERE.

CAN YOU ASK HIM IF HE UNDERSTANDS THE PERMIT PROCESS AND HOW THAT NEEDS TO UNFOLD THROUGH THE CITY BEFORE HE CAN START BUILDING? CONTINUE THAT. OKAY.

THIS IS USTED TIENE EL PROCESO PARA UN PERMISO PARA EMPEZAR A HACER TRABAJO EN UNA PROPIEDAD Y TODO LO OK SE TIENE QUÉ HACER CON LA CIUDAD PARA EL TRABAJO EN UNA PROPIEDAD.

PERO NO NO LOS PERMISOS PORQUE TIENE PRIMERO HACER ESTO COMO DICE EL CEMENTO COMO UN SURVEY LA PROPIEDAD. PRIMERO ESSER ESO YA DESPUÉS LOS PERMISOS OKAY.

HE SAID HE DOES UNDERSTAND THAT HE NEEDED TO GET THE APPROPRIATE PERMITS PRIOR TO HIM CONTINUING WORKING ON THE PROPERTY.

AND THEN HE SAID THAT HE RAN INTO SOME TROUBLE ACTUALLY GETTING THE PERMITS BECAUSE HE WAS TOLD HE NEEDED TO GET ALL THE ESTIMATES FOR ALL OF THESE THINGS, FOR ELECTRICITY AND ALL THAT. SO HE SAID THAT'S HIS UNDERSTANDING REGARDING THE PERMITS, BUT HE DOES UNDERSTAND THAT HE NEEDS TO GET APPROPRIATE PAPERWORK AND PERMITS BEFORE CONTINUING ANY OTHER WORK ON THE PROPERTY.

CAN YOU ASK HIM IF HE HAS A TIME FRAME FOR THAT? USTED TIENE UN ESTIMADO DE TIEMPO.

TENGA TODOS LOS PERMISOS CUALES SON PIDIENDO? BUT. HE SAID HE ESTIMATES ABOUT 30 DAYS.

OKAY. OKAY.

OKAY. YO YO LA FECHA PARA EL DIA DE HOY.

VERDAD PARA LOS 60.

PERO POR LO MAS FOYE POR.

PER LA PROPIEDAD DEL SUR CUANDO LAS HOJAS Y LA CASA DE LOS PLANOS.

OKAY, HE WAS JUST REITERATING AGAIN THAT HE WENT AND GOT ALL OF THE ESTIMATES THAT WAS REQUIRED TO HIM TO OBTAIN, AND HE SAID, FROM HERE HE'LL, I GUESS, START THE PROCESS.

AND HE'S ESTIMATING HIMSELF ABOUT 30 DAYS TO GET EVERYTHING TAKEN CARE OF.

PARA. EL CEMENTO.

FOR? LOOK, HE'S JUST MENTIONING A DELAY IN THE CEMENT INSPECTION, WHICH DELAYED, YOU KNOW, THE PROCESS, BUT THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH IT. BUT HE SAID HE ALREADY HAS EVERYTHING ELSE TAKEN CARE OF AS FAR AS THE ESTIMATES ARE CONCERNED.

[01:10:02]

COULD YOU ASK HIM IF HIS ZONING PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND ADDRESSED? OTROS POEMAS. UN ESTADO DE SUELTOS DE LA PROPIEDAD.

OTROS PROBLEMAS DIJO.

THERE IS NO LE DIJERON EN DONDE LA PROPIEDAD.

AL ESTE PORQUE EL TUVO LA PROPIEDAD DE LOS PARA QUÉ NOS TUVIERA PARA LA ORILLA.

HE'S MENTIONING WHAT I MENTIONED THE ZONING.

HE SAID HE HAS ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF.

HE WAS TOLD THAT THE CEMENT ON A SIDE ON A CERTAIN PART OF THE PROPERTY WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR.

SO HE HAD SOMEBODY GO OUT TO SURVEY THE PROPERTY TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF.

OKAY, BUT THAT'S HIS UNDERSTANDING.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF THE BOARD, MA'AM, ON WHAT YOU WERE SPEAKING OF THERE.

SO HE IS COMMUNICATED THAT SOMEONE HAS LOOKED AT WHERE THIS CONCRETE IS, AND HE'S COMMUNICATED THAT BACK TO THE ZONING, AND THEY'RE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT HE'S DONE A SURVEY AND LOOKED AT IT, AND HE'S TOLD THE CITY THAT, OKAY, THE 60 TODO ESTA DICIENDO DE ALGUIEN PARA QUÉ LE VOY A HACER A SURVEY DE CONCRETO USTED ESTADO COMUNICANDO TODO ESO CON LA CIUDAD DE HE SAID HE HAS THANK YOU E APENAS EL LUNES FOYE NOTARIO SIGUIERON LOS PAPELES DE LA PERSONA ESSER Y AQUI EL CITY, QUIEN ES LA PERSONA EL.

ESTES. ESTES WILL BE.

HE'S SAYING THAT HE IS PAYING SOMEONE TO HELP HIM WITH AS FAR AS ALL THE PAPERWORK IS CONCERNED, AND THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY IN CHARGE OF BRINGING IN THE PAPERWORK AND HELPING HIM HAVE THAT COMMUNICATION WITH THE CITY AND LETTING THEM KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING IS.

THANK YOU. OKAY, JUST TO BE CLEAR, THERE'S TWO MAIN ISSUES ON THE TABLE, RIGHT? ONE IS THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.

OKAY. AND HE'S CONDUCTED A SURVEY I'VE NOT HEARD FROM THE CITY IF THAT IS ACCEPTABLE AND COMPLIES WITH THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.

THAT'S ISSUE NUMBER ONE.

AND ISSUE NUMBER TWO IS AN ENGINEERED FOUNDATION.

HE ALREADY POURED THE EXISTING FOUNDATION WITHOUT A PERMIT.

AND SO TO TO FIND AN ENGINEER THAT WILL SEAL THOSE PLANS POST LIKE IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED.

HE'D HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THAT.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CITY'S POSITION I DON'T THINK HE'S ADDRESSED THAT ISSUE AT THIS TIME.

IS THAT IS THAT CORRECT? CAN THE CITY WEIGH IN ON BEFORE YOU ANSWER, CAN YOU EXPLAIN, CAN YOU TRANSLATE TO TO HIM WHAT HE JUST MR. DUGGER JUST SAID? YES.

SO USTED SEPA USTED SABE EL PROBLEMA ES USTED YA? CEMENTO Y DESPUÉS DE CONTRATADO UN INGENIERO PARA ELLOS VEIAN ACABAR TODO ESO DESPUÉS DE ANTES DE QUÉ PIDIERON PERMISO.

ENTONCES ESO NO SE TIENE ESSER TAMPOCO.

OKAY, SO HE SAID HE UNDERSTANDS THE FACT THAT HE DID IT PRIOR TO, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING THAT HE HAD TO DO AND THAT THEN HE HAD TO GET THE ENGINEER.

IS HE ENGAGED A CONSULTANT TO TRY TO PROVIDE AN ENGINEERED FOUNDATION PLAN? I MEAN, THAT'S PROBABLY A MOOT POINT IF THE SETBACK REQUIREMENT CANNOT BE MET.

BUT HE SAID IN A COMMUNICATION CON EL INGENIERO SI SI EL SEVEN DE LO ESTA PASANDO ELLOS PUEDEN HACER ESO PERO USTED NO PODIA CONTRATAR ANTES DE EMPEZAR.

USTED TIENE PERMISO.

SI TODO ESO EL CEMENTERIO IBA A SER COMO PARA UN ESTAS COSAS.

PERO CUANDO ME DIJERON AHI LO HABIA UNA CASA.

NO SE IBA A SER NINGUN ESTAS PRIMERO ESTAR LA CASA.

Y LUEGO EL STORIES YA I PRIMERO STORIES NO CASA.

ENTONCES LA DECISION DE CAMBIARME DE UN STORIES A HACER LA CASA.

PARA PODER TENER UN DIA HACER NADA ANTES DE UNA CASA AHI.

HE'S JUST EXPLAINING THAT HE WAS TOLD THAT HE WASN'T ALLOWED TO BUILD ANYTHING ON THE PROPERTY.

HE DID MENTION.

HE DID MENTION SOMETHING ABOUT HAVING SOME KIND OF STORAGE ON THE PROPERTY.

AND HE WAS TOLD HE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO UNLESS THERE WAS A HOME STANDING ON THE PROPERTY.

THAT'S WHAT HE'S TELLING ME.

HE SAID HE WAS JUST GOING TO USE IT AS A STOOL, AS A TOOL STORAGE.

[01:15:07]

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THAT VAN. IF YOU WERE GOING TO SAY SOMETHING.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY TIME SOMEONE SPEAKS, SHE CAN TRANSLATE BEFORE THE NEXT PERSON TALKS.

SO THE THE REPLAT OR PLATTING HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED.

THE SURVEY SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE STRUCTURE, AS OPPOSED TO THE DISTANCE TO THE PROPERTY LINE HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED.

SO THEREFORE THERE IS NO ENGINEER ASSESSMENT OF THE FOUNDATION UNTIL WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO WITH THE FOUNDATION.

SO WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR THAT INFORMATION.

CAN YOU TELL? CAN YOU TELL HIM? CAN YOU TRANSLATE THAT FOR HIM? THAT THERE'S REALLY JUST BASICALLY JUST WHAT MR. WATSON JUST SAID? YEAH.

OKAY. AND SENOR WATSON NADA MAS.

USTED KAN NO ELLOS NO BIEN MUCHO.

SISTEMA VIENDO ELLOS NECESITAN ESTAMOS VIENDO.

ENTONCES ELLOS GETTING USED TO LO ESTAN DICIENDO PARECE TODO ESTAMOS VIENDO UN POCO DE ESPACIO A ELLOS NECESITAN.

ESTAMOS VIENDO EN TODO O LO SIENTO PUES SI.

PERO YO ESTABA ESPERANDO A ESTA FINKLEA PARA ELLOS ESTABAN PIDIENDO HE'S.

SAYING THAT HE UNDERSTANDS WAS BEING TOLD TO HIM AND THAT HE'S JUST, HE WAS JUST WAITING UNTIL TODAY TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT HE HAS ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS OR ESTIMATES THAT WERE REQUIRED OF HIM.

OKAY. CAN YOU LET HIM KNOW THAT NOT TO WAIT, THAT WHEN WE ASK FOR SOMETHING, WE NEED THAT INFORMATION IN ORDER TO HELP HIM? OKAY, OKAY. EL SENOR WANTS CUANDO USTED LE ESTÉN PIDIENDO CIERTOS DOCUMENTOS CIERTAS COSAS COMO SE ESPERA. POR EJEMPLO, HASTA HOY PARA USTED TIENE LOS ESTADOS.

USTED TIENE COSAS ANTES DE LA FECHA.

USTED TIENE HABLAR Y YO TENGO YO LO MR. PIDIENDO ANTES DE ESPERA ESTA HOY.

OH OKAY.

HE SAID HE UNDERSTANDS TO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.

THANK YOU. OKAY. AT THE RISK OF BELABORING THE POINT, THE SURVEY AND THE ISSUE OF WHERE THE PROPERTY LINE IS AND WHAT THE SETBACK IS, ARE WE SAYING THAT THE CITY HAS NOT RECEIVED THE INFORMATION FROM HIM, OR THE CITY HAS RECEIVED THE INFORMATION AND HAS YET TO ACT ON WHETHER.

DOES MEET THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS OR IS THAT SOMETHING CAN BE ANSWERED? WE THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE, WE CAN.

WE STILL DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER BASED ON LACK OF INFORMATION, BASED ON LACK OF INFORMATION.

SO THEN THERE'S STILL INFORMATION NEEDED TO COME.

FROM WHO HIS HE HAS HIRED TO GIVE US THAT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SURVEY AND ABOUT WHERE THE PROPERTY LINE IS.

EXACTLY. SO CAN YOU COMMUNICATE IT TO HIM THAT WE ARE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE CITY HAS NOT RECEIVED ENOUGH INFORMATION TO MAKE A DETERMINATION ABOUT WHETHER HE'S IN THE RIGHT PLACE? AND THERE'S MORE INFORMATION INVOLVING THE SURVEY, THE PLANNING AND THE LOCATION OF THE SLAB THAT THEY'RE WAITING ON IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD.

OKAY, SO, SENOR WYATT, USTED LA PERSONA CARGANDO CON USTED AYUDARLE CON LOS PAPELES Y ELLOS VIENEN AQUI.

ELLOS NO ESTAN DANDO SUFFICIENT INFORMATION A ELLOS COMO LA CIUDAD PARA HACER UNA DETERMINACION ACABAR CON ESTO.

SO THIS EL INFORMATION ELLOS NECESITAN ANTES DE ACABAR TODO ESTO.

SO SE VA A TENER QUÉ VER CON EL SENOR CON LA PERSONA DANDO PORQUE DICEN ELLOS MUCHO INFORMATION CAN NO NO ES SUFICIENTE TODAVIA PARA ELLOS PORQUE NO LES ANDADO INFORMATION OR NADA.

ELLOS ELLOS NECESITAN NOSOTROS VAMOS A VER LA SEMANA Y ÉL SE ESPERA UNA SEMANA DOS SEMANAS EL SEGUN EL ESTA TRABAJANDO EN ESO. PERO ESTABA MUY OCUPADO EN OTRAS COSAS.

HE IS SAYING THAT THE PERSON THAT HE HAS HIRED TO HELP HIM WITH ALL OF THAT, HE SAID HE CONTACTS HIM ON A WEEKLY BASIS.

AND THIS GENTLEMAN TELLS HIM, OKAY, WELL JUST GIVE ME ANOTHER WEEK, ANOTHER TWO WEEKS.

BUT HE SAID HE IS TRYING TO MAKE EFFORTS ON A WEEKLY BASIS TO KIND OF SEE IF ANYTHING HAS CHANGED, IF HE'S COMMUNICATING WITH YOU GUYS.

BUT HE SAID HE CAN ALSO JUST DO SO MUCH, BUT THAT HE HAS BEEN CONTACTING WHOEVER HE HIRED ON A WEEKLY BASIS FOR AN UPDATE.

JUST JUST THE ONE THING I'D LIKE YOU TO COMMUNICATE TO HIM IS HOW IMPORTANT THIS PLATTING IS.

AND ALL THE PERMITTING AND ALL THE BUILDING AND ALL THE CONSTRUCTION IS ALMOST IRRELEVANT IF YOU CAN'T ASCERTAIN WHETHER THE BUILDING CAN BE PHYSICALLY LOCATED WHERE IT IS.

SO IT'S OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE THAT FIGURING OUT THE PLAT, THE SURVEY, THE PROPER PLAN, THE SETBACK, IT IT DRIVES EVERYTHING.

[01:20:04]

OKAY. LA IMPORTANCIA DE ELLOS TENGAN TODO ESTO.

HE SAYS NO TIENE NADA NO PUEDEN SER.

YOU KNOW, CON TODO LO OK ELLOS NECESITAN.

EXCUSE ME. NO SI ESTA COMUNICANDO CON ELLOS ELLOS NO PUEDEN HACER NADA Y NO PUEDEN AYUDAR A USTED O OKAY SO PERO ADELANTE VOY A HACER LAS COSAS COMO ELLOS DICEN DE ESTADOS COMUNICANDO.

HE SAID THAT FROM HERE ON OUT HE'S GOING TO TRY TO HIM TRY TO MAKE THE EFFORT ON REACHING OUT TO THE CITY PERSONALLY INSTEAD OF WAITING TO THE PERSON WHO HE HAS HIRED TO KIND OF KEEP COMMUNICATION WITH THE CITY.

SO HE DOES THAT.

HE DOES UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF ALL OF THIS AND GETTING EVERYTHING TAKEN CARE OF.

SO HE SAID HE'S GOING TO START MAKING AN EFFORT OF REACHING OUT TO YOU GUYS PERSONALLY.

THANK YOU. MUCHOS GRACIAS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OH, SURE. YOU'RE FINE.

TIM LITTLEJOHN. IF SHE COULD ALSO EXPLAIN TO THE APPLICANT THAT THE CONTRACTOR SERVICES THAT HE'S WANTING TO USE THE PROPERTY FOR WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED BECAUSE IT IS ZONED RESIDENTIAL RS SIX.

SO THE CONTRACTOR SERVICES AND THE STORAGE YARD WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED WITHOUT REZONING THE PROPERTY TO THE APPROPRIATE USE.

JUST SO THAT HE UNDERSTANDS THAT.

AND IN EXPLICAR LA COMPANIA OCUPANDO PARA CONSTRUCTION PARA LA AYUDA CON TODO ESTO NO VAN A PODER NO TIENEN ELLOS ESTA LA EDAD DE AYUDARLE A DONDE ESTA SU CASA CAMBIAR O BUSCAR OTRO CONTRACTOR PARA QUÉ LA AYUDA PORQUE LA COMPANIA.

ELLOS ACABANDO NO PUEDEN TRABAJAR EN LA ZONA.

DONDE ESTA SU CASA. LET'S SAY.

HE'S ASKING, ARE YOU GUYS REFERRING TO TO THE AM CONSTRUCTION AND FOUNDATION REPAIR? NO. SO.

WHAT HE HAS STARTED TO BUILD IS A RESIDENCE TO A PLACE TO LIVE IN.

OH, OKAY. OKAY.

WHICH IS ALLOWED R-6 ZONING.

I BELIEVE WHAT HE MADE MENTION THROUGH THIS PROCESS IS NOW HE WANTS TO USE IT AS STORAGE FOR HIS CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS.

THAT IS NOT ALLOWED IN THAT ZONING.

OKAY, OKAY.

SO OKAY. EXPLICARTE ES LO EN LA PROPIEDAD ERA PARA PODER DE VIVIR EN LO ESTABA CONSTRUYENDO ERA ALGUIEN ERA.

ENTONCES EL ESTA DICIENDO CUANDO EMPIEZA A TODO ESTE PROCESO CON USTED.

YA USTED VINO OTRA VEZ.

SI LES DIGO LO ESTABA HACIENDO NADA MAS PARA STORAGE PARA SUS PARA SU HERRAMIENTA.

ESO NO ESTA PROHIBIDO EN LA ZONA.

DONDE ESTA ES LA PROPIEDAD. EL STORAGE NO PRIMERO ES UNA CASA ANTES DE SER UN STORAGE.

NO PODIA TENER UN STORAGE.

SI NO UNA CASA HE'S.

GOING BACK TO THE POINT WHERE HE SAID THAT HE WAS TOLD THAT HE CANNOT BUILD THE STORAGE UNLESS THERE'S A HOME BUILT ON THE PROPERTY.

OKAY. ERA UNA ZONA RESIDENTIAL.

NO COMMERCIAL.

OKAY. PORQUE YO TENIA VARIOS CARROS AHI Y YO NO PUEDO TENER COMO STORAGE.

COMMERCIAL. RESIDENTIAL? NO COMMERCIAL. HE WAS TOLD THAT THE THE AREA WHERE HE WAS LIVING WAS RESIDENTIAL.

HAVE ALL OF THESE CARS AND ALL OF THIS, YOU KNOW, EXTRA STUFF THAT HE HAD ON THE PROPERTY.

SO HE WAS JUST WANTING TO MENTION THAT.

WELL, AND THAT'S THAT'S A TRUE STATEMENT.

AND EVERYTHING HE'S DONE HAS BEEN JUST THAT WHICH IS NOT ALLOWED.

YOU SAW ALL THE CARS, YOU SAW THE CONSTRUCTION, ALL OF THAT STUFF.

I SHOULDN'T BE TALKING TO YOU.

I'M SORRY. OH, NO. YOU'RE FINE.

IT'S OKAY. SO YOU'RE SCANNING.

EMPEZAR A HACER CUANDO SE LES DIJO QUIEREN STORAGE NO PUEDE SER UN STORAGE LOCAL DIJERON DE LOS CARAS NO PUEDEN ESTAR AHI LOS CARROS.

SO USE QUIERAN LOCAL.

NO, HE'S SAYING HE UNDERSTANDS.

OKAY. I THINK WE HAVE REACHED A POINT HERE WHERE THERE'S SOME ISSUES THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY JURISDICTION OVER.

MAYBE WE NEED TO BACK UP AND.

RETHINK THIS CASE AND GET SOME MORE INFORMATION BEFORE WE PROCEED BEFORE THIS BOARD PROCEEDS.

COULD YOU CONVEY THAT TO HIM? YES, SIR. SO DICIENDO ES ELLOS VAN A TENER QUÉ HABLAR DE SU CASO DE USTEDES VAN A TENER JUNTAS Y HABLAR VAN DE

[01:25:05]

ELLOS A MOVERSE IN AYUDARLA.

PERO. PERO POR LO MIENTRAS NO TIENEN ELLOS SUFICIENTE PARA AYUDARLE ELLOS VAN A TENER UN REVISAR SU CASA Y TODO ESO Y MAS INFORMACION. OH, NO.

WAS PORQUE YO NO ESTABA EN LA INFORMACION LEAR COMO DE LA VERDAD PERO. WAS.

SO HE'S SAYING HE UNDERSTANDS THAT YOU GUYS ARE PROBABLY GOING TO NEED SOME MORE TIME TO COME TO SOME KIND OF CONCLUSION OR DECISION.

AND HE SAID HE DOES APOLOGIZE FOR THE MISCOMMUNICATION BETWEEN HIM AND THE CITY.

OKAY. HE NEEDS HE NEEDS TO GET THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS TAKEN CARE OF AND THE ZONING REQUIREMENTS TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE IT COMES BACK HERE, AND THAT IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN PRETTY FAST.

OKAY. OKAY.

ANTES DE ESTAR AQUI EN LA CORTE CON ELLOS.

OKAY. SI USTED TIENE TODO ESTO.

EL DIA AQUI PARA TODOS LOS OTROS REQUISITOS HAN PEDIDO.

OKAY. HE UNDERSTANDS.

AND ALSO BEFORE HE COMES BACK HERE OR IN ANY OTHER CITY BOARD, HE NEEDS TO REQUEST A TRANSLATOR WITHIN 48 HOURS. OKAY.

BEFORE THE MEETING.

OKAY. AND CAN HE DO THAT THROUGH THE CITY? YES. OKAY.

THEY SAID THAT A SABER CUANDO VUELVAS A TENER UNA CORTE CON LA CIUDAD O CON CON CUALQUIER COURT.

USTED TIENE LA CIUDAD DOS DIAS ANTES DE ANTES DE SU CORTE Y UN TRADUCTOR SOLO PUEDEN DAR SI USTED NO BIEN ACOMPANADO CON ALGUIEN OKAY, ELLOS PUEDEN TENER ALGUIEN AQUI PARA AYUDAR A TRADUCIR.

OKAY. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING TO ASK? DOES HE UNDERSTAND THAT HE CANNOT DO ANY MORE WORK ON THIS PROPERTY UNTIL ALL PERMITS AND EVERYTHING IS ACQUIRED, THAT HE'S GOT ALL OF THIS, AND HE CANNOT TAKE THE STICKERS OFF OF THE FENCE.

AND. SENOR.

POR TODO ESTA LISTO.

USTEDES LO ELLOS USTED NO PUEDE SER ABSOLUTAMENTE NADA DE TRABAJO.

NO PUEDE QUITAR NADA DE LOS STICKERS ON THE FENCE.

NO PUEDE SER HACER NADA EN LA PROPIEDAD.

OKAY, SO NO SE PUEDE HACER UN TRABAJO NI QUITAR NADA DE LA PROPIEDAD Q ELLOS HAN PUESTO.

DE NADA OKAY.

HE UNDERSTANDS TO NOT DO ANYTHING ON THE PROPERTY.

THANK YOU. NO PROBLEM.

PER SE VAN A CONMIGO.

HE'S JUST ASKING WHERE THE IS THERE GOING TO BE ANY COMMUNICATION AFTER TODAY WITH HIM KIND OF MOVING FORWARD ON WHERE HIS CASE STANDS.

HE'S ASKING WILL MAKE THAT DETERMINATION.

IF YOU COULD WAIT UNTIL WE MAKE THAT DETERMINATION, YOU CAN CONVEY THAT TO HIM OKAY.

NO PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

YES, SIR. YOU'VE BEEN VERY HELPFUL.

OH NO PROBLEM. MAYBE YOU COULD MOVE YOUR OFFICE CLOSE BY HERE.

THANK YOU. YEAH.

NO PROBLEM. DID YOU GUYS.

AM I GOOD OR DO YOU NEED ME TO HAVE A SEAT? IF YOU CAN HAVE A SEAT.

SURE. ANY OTHERS WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE? PLEASE STEP FORWARD.

I'LL HAVE TO TALK OUT. SEEING NO ONE, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE 20 3-004765.

AND MR. BEARD, I DO WANT TO JUST POINT OUT TO YOU BASED ON SOMETHING YOU SAID, I KNOW THAT THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE BEYOND THIS BOARD'S JURISDICTION, SUCH AS WHETHER THIS STRUCTURE EVEN MEETS THE SETBACK OR NOT, BUT BECAUSE THEY'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO BECAUSE HE NEVER PULLED A PERMIT AND HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET A PERMIT BECAUSE IT.

POTENTIALLY DOESN'T MEET SETBACKS.

ALL OF THIS WORK HAS BEEN DONE WITHOUT A PERMIT.

AND THERE ARE REASONS WHY THIS PROPERTY THAT BACK IN THE STAFF REPORT MR. MARSH'S LISTED ALL OF THE VIOLATIONS THAT WOULD FALL UNDER THE DIVISION UNDER WHICH THIS BOARD HAS AUTHORITY.

SO THIS BOARD CAN STILL YOU KNOW, MAKE ANY OF THE MOTIONS AVAILABLE MAKE ANY OF THE DECISIONS AVAILABLE REGARDING THIS PROPERTY, EVEN IF THERE ARE THINGS BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THIS BOARD.

SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT COMING TO THE BOARD HERE IS ONE SOLUTION THE CITY HAS IF, IF, IF PROPERTY HAS NUISANCE ISSUES WORK WITHOUT PERMITS AND AND SO FORTH.

AND I DIDN'T MEAN TO INTERRUPT, BUT I JUST WANTED.

I DID WANT TO CLARIFY THAT.

THANK YOU. I JUST FEEL SOME OF THESE ISSUES OUGHT TO, OUGHT TO BE CLARIFIED BEFORE WE ACTUALLY DECLARE

[01:30:05]

TO A DEMOLITION ON IT.

BUT THAT'S MY OPINION.

BUT I'LL OPEN THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION OR MOTION ON HOW TO PROCEED, WHATEVER THE BOARD'S PLEASURE IS HERE.

I FEEL LIKE MAYBE IT'S PREMATURE FOR US TO DECLARE IT A PUBLIC NUISANCE, BUT WHATEVER.

THAT'S MY OPINION.

IT'S A DOMINO EFFECT AND I AGREE THE SETBACK ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED FIRST I THINK BEFORE WE WE TAKE ANY ACTION.

SO I AGREE. WITH THAT, I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE TABLE THE ISSUE FOR 30 DAYS AND ALLOW THE SETBACK TO ISSUE TO BE RECTIFIED.

OKAY. MOTION BY MR. DUGGAR THAT WE TABLE THIS FOR 30 DAYS.

YES. MR. ALLRED. YES.

MR. MCBRAYER.

YES. MR. MCNEIL.

YES. MR. TURNER. YES. MR. DUGGAR. YES.

MR. BEARD? YES.
