11 REPORT ON DEMOLITION OF UNSAFE BUILDING AT 1122 NORTH "I" - Charles Roberts
12
13 Building Commissioner Charles Roberts reported we are where we were before,
14 nothing has been done. He sent the owner of the property a letter asking for
15 a starting and finishing date and a signed contract for demotion. Mr. Grant
16 Potter called Monday and. said he was going to get a permit Wednesday to tear
17 it down; however, he has not. In referring to another demolished property,
18 Mr. Roberts noted sometimes it costs as much to clean up the mess that is
19 left after the demolition as it does to tear the structure down. The order
20 stated a signed contract had to be received ten (10) days after receipt of
21 the notification letter, which is today. The Board has already ordered the
22 demolition, stating that if the structure is not down by November 30, the
23 City should proceed with it.
24
25 Mr. Webb moved that the owners of the unsafe building at 1122 North "I" be
26 given until November 30 to remove said building and the Commissioner of
27 Buildings be directed to cause said building to be removed, if the terms of
28 the original order are not_ fulfilled, seconded by Mr. Cordell and on unanimous
29 voice vote the motion was carried.
