STRUCTURAL HAZARDS, NUISANCE HAZARDS, ELECTRICAL WIRING, HAZARDOUS PLUMBING, HAZARDOUS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT, AND FAULTY WEATHER PROTECTION. THESE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE EXTERIOR DILAPIDATION OF THE BUILDING.

INTERIOR DILAPIDATION.

THE TIMELINE OF EVENTS. AS YOU HEARD LAST MONTH, ON JANUARY 29TH, AN AFFIDAVIT OF CONDEMNATION WAS FILED.

AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE OR YOU ALL HAVE ORDERED CIVIL PENALTIES THREE TIMES ON THIS.

A PARTIAL PLAN OF ACTION WAS SUBMITTED. THERE HAVE BEEN CALLS TO APD FOR THEFTS IN THE BUILDING.

PRIOR TO THE FEBRUARY MEETING, WE MET WITH MR. ARMSTRONG AT THE PROPERTY TO GET PHOTOS.

AT THAT TIME, WE DIDN'T SEE ANY PROGRESS. THE PLANS FOR LOCATIONS OF THE ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING FIXTURES HAD NOT YET BEEN SUBMITTED,

[00:05:06]

ON FEBRUARY 11TH PMI MET WITH MR. ARMSTRONG TO DO A WALK THROUGH OF THE BUILDING WITH THE BUILDING OFFICIAL AND ASSISTANT BUILDING OFFICIAL FOR THE CITY TO PROVIDE SOME GUIDANCE TO THE OWNER FOR REQUIRED REPAIRS. MR. ARMSTRONG PROVIDED US WITH A SET OF PLANS THAT THE CITY HAD BEEN WAITING FOR.

THERE WERE WORKERS ACTIVELY CLEANING OUT THE BUILDING.

THE CITY IS NOW WAITING ON AN ASBESTOS SURVEY AND AS I UNDERSTAND, THAT JUST HAPPENED AND WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THAT TO BE SUBMITTED. TWO CONTRACTOR ESTIMATES WERE TO BE ISSUE A PERMIT FOR THEM.

WE DID POST THE NOTICE, THE NOTICE OF THE MARCH HEARING.

AND MR. ARMSTRONG ENTERED INTO A COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY TO FINISH THE WORK ON THE BUILDING.

AT THIS TIME, WE'RE ASKING THE BOARD TO TAKE NO ACTION AS HE HAS ENTERED INTO THE COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT AND LET US ALLOW THAT TO TAKE ITS COURSE.

AND I CAN TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. AT THIS TIME, I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR CASE NUMBER 24000130.

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

I'M BROOKS ARMSTRONG, AND YEAH, WE'RE WORKING ON THAT BILL.

AND THEY'VE GOT THE SECOND STORY. ALL THE DEMOLITION, ALL THE CHA STUFF'S GONE OUT OF THERE.

OF COURSE, THERE'S A LOT OF SMUT. AND AND OF COURSE, THE ASBESTOS STILL REPORT IS SUPPOSED TO BE TO US BY FRIDAY.

THEN HE WAS THINKING WITH THE NORTH AMERICAN ANALYTIC.

AND SO WE'LL KNOW HOW TO PROCEED FROM THERE, WHICH I'M HOPING IT'S JUST THE TILE.

THERE'S SOME TILE THAT WAS COVERED UP WITH SOME CARPET, THE LITTLE NINE INCH TILES.

BUT I HOPE THAT'S ALL ANYWAY. AND OF COURSE, AFTER WE GET TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GO ABOUT THAT, THEN I'M THINKING WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO TRY TO WATER BLAST A BUNCH OF THAT, CLEAN IT UP, AND PAINT THAT WHOLE SECOND STORY. BUT RIGHT NOW, I GOT ALL THE WALLS BETWEEN THE FIRE AND THE BUMS GOING IN THERE.

THERE'S A ROOM THAT'S APPROXIMATELY ABOUT 50 BY 120 BIG OLD OPEN SPACE.

AND AND OF COURSE, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HALL WILL BE THE SAME THING, BUT IT'S IT'S STILL INTACT.

BUT YEAH, THERE'S A LOT, A LOT OF, A LOT OF ROOM TO WORK WITH, AND SO WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE ELECTRICAL DONE IN A JIFFY.

WE'LL JUST BASICALLY DO LED BAYS AND LIGHT IT UP AND, AND GOT THE ONE BATHROOM AND WE SIT ON THE, ON THE PLANS THERE THAT WE'LL GET IT FIXED UP AND WE'RE AT.

AND THEN OF COURSE ONE WAS BROUGHT UP THAT I NEED TO HAVE IT CONDITIONED WITH AIR CONDITIONER.

SO I'LL HAVE SOMEBODY PUT A LITTLE MINI SPLIT UNIT OR CONDITION THAT LITTLE ROOM IN THERE.

SO. AND AND THEN OF COURSE THE ON THE DEALS, IT SAID HANDRAILS.

I'VE GOT THE HANDRAILS. STILL THE BUMS STOLE THE LITTLE BRASS FINGERS THAT HOLD IT, BUT I CAN RECREATE SOMETHING WITH SOME OAK WOOD AND MAKE IT LOOK NICE AND STURDY.

SO. BUT YEAH. GOOD DEAL. YEAH. GOT SOME PLANS.

SO. AND THEN AFTER THAT PLAN COMES THE OTHER PLAN.

BUT MAIN THING, GET IT, YOU IN GOOD SHAPE. AND SO.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU.

ANYBODY ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS CASE? I'M SORRY.

I NEGLECTED TO MENTION WE DID PROVIDE A COPY OF THE COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT IN YOUR FOLDERS. IF YOU WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. NOBODY ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK. I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE NUMBER 24000130.

OPEN THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION OR MOTION. STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO TAKE NO ACTION.

SO THAT IS SOMETHING WE CAN DO. YOU WOULDN'T NEED A MOTION FOR THAT. I MOVE, WE ACCEPT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE GOT A MOTION TO TAKE. NO ACTION.

WE HAVE A SECOND. SECOND. ALL RIGHT. FIRST BY MR. TURNER AND A SECOND BY MR. TANKERSLEY. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THAT.

RIGHT. WELL, SINCE THERE SINCE A MOTION WAS MADE IN A SECOND, GO AHEAD AND VOTE ON IT.

OKAY, BUT IF YOU CHOOSE TO TAKE NO ACTION AND NO ONE MAKES A MOTION, YOU CAN SIMPLY MOVE ON TO THE NEXT CASE IF THERE'S EVER ONE LIKE THAT.

AND I WANTED TO TELL YOU IF THERE'S ANOTHER TABLED CASE AND YOU WANT TO UNTABLE, THERE'S NO NEED TO TAKE A ROLL CALL ON THAT IF YOU JUST WANT TO ASK.

[00:10:01]

THIS IS THE PUBLIC NOTICE ON THE STRUCTURE. THIS IS THE FRONT.

EAST SIDE. THE REAR. WEST SIDE. THE NORTH SIDE.

AND THE SOUTH SIDE. SUBSTANDARD CODE VIOLATIONS INCLUDE INADEQUATE SANITATION, STRUCTURAL HAZARDS, NUISANCE HAZARDOUS ELECTRICAL WIRING, AND FAULTY WEATHER PROTECTION.

EXTERIOR DILAPIDATION. THE PICTURE ON. WELL, BOTH OF THEM ACTUALLY SHOW THERE WAS A FIRE IN THE REAR CORNER OF THE HOME.

WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THAT FIRE ACTUALLY OCCURRED.

EXAMPLES OF INTERIOR DILAPIDATION. INTERIOR CONDITIONS.

THIS IS THE BATHROOM. WE WERE UNABLE TO ACCESS A LOT OF THE INSIDE BECAUSE IT IS, I GUESS, BASICALLY BEING USED AS A STORAGE BUILDING. NUISANCE CONDITIONS, WHICH ACTUALLY HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN JUST A MONTH AGO. THE TIMELINE OF EVENTS. ON MARCH 8TH OF 24, AN AFFIDAVIT OF CONDEMNATION WAS RECORDED AT THE COUNTY CLERK.

THERE WAS A STRUCTURE FIRE AT THE PROPERTY THAT AFFECTED THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF THE HOUSE, AND IT HAS BEEN BOARDED UP.

ON THE 14TH, WE SENT CONDEMNATION NOTICES TO THE OWNER.

ON MAY 1ST OF 24, WE SPOKE TO THE OWNER BY PHONE AND EXPLAINED THE CONDEMNATION PROCESS.

ASKED THAT HE ADDRESS THE FAILING GARAGE IMMEDIATELY SINCE IT POSED A HAZARD.

HE TOLD US HE WOULD GET RIGHT TO WORK ON THE DEMO OF THE DETACHED GARAGE AND A PLAN OF ACTION FOR THE HOUSE.

YOU DIDN'T SEE PHOTOS OF THAT BECAUSE THEY DEMOED THE GARAGE WITHOUT A PERMIT AND IT WAS JUST GONE UP ON OCTOBER 8TH, 2024. SPOKE TO THE OWNER AND HIS DAUGHTER BY PHONE AND EXPLAINED THE CONDEMNATION PROCESS AGAIN.

WE RESENT THE CONDEMNATION NOTICES AND PLAN OF ACTION TO THE OWNER'S DAUGHTER IN JANUARY OF 25.

WE DISCOVERED THE DETACHED GARAGE HAD BEEN DEMOLISHED. DEMO DEBRIS WAS STILL ON SITE, THE REAR DOOR OF THE HOUSE HAD BEEN BROKEN INTO AND WE LET THE OWNER KNOW WHAT WE FOUND AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD SECURE THE HOME. WE BROUGHT THE CASE TO YOU ALL IN JANUARY OF 26, AND YOU ORDERED A 3060. AND UP UNTIL JUST THE LAST FEW DAYS, WE HAD NOT HAD ANY COMMUNICATION WITH THE OWNERS.

THE OWNER'S DAUGHTER DID CONTACT MR. WRIGHT RECENTLY TO SAY THAT THEY HAD GOTTEN AN ELECTRICIAN IN THERE TO START A PLAN OF ACTION, AND REALIZED THAT IT WAS ALL GOING TO BE TOO EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR.

THE NOTICE FOR THIS HEARING WAS SENT ON FEBRUARY 11TH, AND ON THE 16TH WE POSTED IT ON THE STRUCTURE.

AT THIS TIME, THE STAFF RECOMMENDS A FINDING THAT THE PROPERTY IS A PUBLIC NUISANCE IN THAT IT IS A HAZARD TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE, AND REPAIR OF THE STRUCTURE WOULD BE UNREASONABLE AND ORDER THE OWNER TO DEMOLISH OR APPEAL THE ORDER TO DISTRICT COURT WITHIN 30 DAYS, OR THE CITY MAY DEMOLISH. AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

YOU SAID THE OWNER SAID IT'S GOING TO BE TOO EXPENSIVE TO REHABILITATE THIS.

IS THAT RIGHT? AS I UNDERSTAND, THE OWNER IS ACTUALLY IN NURSING CARE.

HIS DAUGHTER IS THE ONE THAT SPOKE WITH MR. RIGHT AND SAID THAT THEY HAD GOTTEN AN ELECTRICIAN OUT THERE, AND THAT WAS TOO MUCH, DESPITE ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT NEED TO BE REPAIRED.

SO APPARENTLY, AND HE DID EXPLAIN TO HER THAT WE WOULD BE RECOMMENDING DEMO, AND SHE SAID WE HAD TO DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO.

SO THE OWNER EXPRESSED, I MEAN, THEY'RE TRYING TO GET THE CONTENTS OUT OR ANYTHING SHE MENTIONED TO.

HE TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD MENTIONED TO HIM THAT SHE MIGHT TRY TO GET IN THERE AND GET A COUPLE OF THINGS OUT.

I DON'T THINK SHE HAS INTEREST IN ALL OF THAT FURNITURE THAT'S IN THERE OR THE REFRIGERATORS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

[00:15:04]

ANYBODY WISHING TO SPEAK TO THE CASE, PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD. SEEING NO ONE, I WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR CASE NUMBER 24000572 AND OPEN THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION OR MOTION.

THE TIMELINE OF EVENTS ON JULY 17TH, 2025. THE AFFIDAVIT OF COUNTY CLERK AND ON JULY 22ND, THE CONDEMNATION NOTICES WERE SENT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER ON JULY 24TH OF 2025.

WE WENT OVER THE CONDEMNATION PROCESS WITH THE OWNER AND THEN AGAIN WITH ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER. EXCUSE ME.

JULY 25TH OF 25. THE OWNER CALLED AND HAD US SEND THE PAPERWORK TO HIS CONTRACTOR.

ON JULY 29TH. A ROOF PERMIT WAS THAT WAS ISSUED IN JANUARY HAD EXPIRED.

THE FINAL INSPECTION WAS NEVER SCHEDULED OR COMPLETED.

IN JANUARY, THE BOARD ORDERED THE CASE TABLED DUE TO PENDING SALE.

IN FEBRUARY, THE BOARD ORDERED THE CASE TABLED DUE TO THE TITLE BEING THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY BEING ENTITLED, AND THEN MISS STRUNK UNFORTUNATELY PASSED AWAY. AND THEN IT'S IN PROBATE AT THIS TIME.

IN FEBRUARY 11TH WE POSTED THE NOTICE OF THE HEARING, OR WE SENT THE NOTICE OF THE HEARING TO THE PROPERTY OWNER.

AND ON FEBRUARY 16TH, IT WAS POSTED ON THE STRUCTURE, THE BUYER IS STILL INTERESTED IN THE HOME AND HAS BEEN VERY COMMUNICATIVE WITH US, AND SO IS THE SELLER. MR.

QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. AT THIS TIME, I WILL OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING FOR CASE NUMBER 25003241. ANYBODY WISHING TO SPEAK TO THIS, PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

GOOD MORNING, BRETT STEWART. I AM THE PURCHASER UNDER CONTRACT FOR THIS BUILDING.

[00:30:02]

SO THAT HAS EXTENDED THE TIMELINE FOR CLEARING TITLE.

WE, ON FEBRUARY 23RD, WE SIGNED AN AMENDMENT THAT ACTUALLY ALLOWED US TO CHANGE THE TITLE COMPANY.

WE WERE UNDER CONTRACT AND IN ESCROW AT FIRST TEXAS TITLE.

AT THEIR RECOMMENDATION, THEY WOULD NOT ACCEPT AN AFFIDAVIT OF HEIRSHIP SINCE THERE WAS NO WILL IN PLACE.

THEY WERE SUGGESTING THE FAMILY HIRE A PROBATE ATTORNEY AND IT BE A LONGER PROCESS.

I HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP THAT I WORK WITH WITH A TITLE COMPANY IN FRISCO.

BASED OUT OF FRISCO. STELLAR TITLE. I PRESENTED THE DETAILS OF THE CASE TO THEM.

WE DID HAVE AN AFFIDAVIT OF HEIRSHIP QUESTIONNAIRE ALREADY FILLED OUT.

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD ACCEPT IN THE PROCESS OF CLEARING TITLE, AS OPPOSED TO THE FAMILY HAVING TO HIRE A PROBATE ATTORNEY? THEY SAID YES. SO WE SIGNED AN AMENDMENT. WE ACTUALLY TRANSFERRED THE, THE PROPERTY OVER FROM FIRST TEXAS TITLE HERE IN ABILENE TO STELLAR TITLE BASED IN FRISCO, TEXAS. AND I'M TOLD THAT AT SOME POINT THIS WEEK WE SHOULD HAVE THE TITLE COMMITMENT BACK BECAUSE THEY HAD TO RUN A NEW TITLE COMMITMENT, NEW TITLE COMPANY, ETC.. SO AND I'VE MET WITH CONTRACTORS, HAVE BUDGETS, PREPARED EVERYTHING.

WE'RE JUST KIND OF PENDING TITLE AT THIS POINT.

AND THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF DELAY DUE TO GAZE PASSING.

COOL. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE 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 FOR CASE NUMBER 25003241.

OPEN THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION. WE DO THE SAME THING.

TAKE NO ACTION AND HOWEVER LONG TITLE TAKES. AND THEN THE CITY WOULD TAKE OVER.

YES. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL TAKE NO ACTION. I THINK THAT CONCLUDES OUR MEETING.

ADJOURNED. THANK YOU.
