[III.1. The Commission to receive updates on the property owned by Anna Juno Bible located at 803 N Newark Street City of Decatur, Wise County, Texas also described as Proctor Addition Block 54 Tract 4 and 5 that was deemed substandard by the commission on February 18, 2026, and an Order of Demolition was issued on May 18, 2026. (Code Case #3454) ]

MR. DENNY, WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR US? OKAY. 803 NORTH NEWARK STREET.

THEY HAD SUBMITTED FOR A PERMIT. THE PERMIT WAS NEVER APPROVED.

THEY NEEDED TO GET THE SEWER LINE CAPPED OFF AND BROUGHT ABOVE GRADE.

WE NOTICED THAT THEY HAD BEEN STARTING TO DEMO WITHOUT THAT PERMIT.

I WENT OVER THERE WERE STILL LIVE GAS LINE BY THE PROPERTY, SO WE HAD THEM STOP EVERYTHING, PUT A STOP WORK NOTICE ON THE HOUSE AND CALLED THEM AND DISCUSSED IT.

TOLD THEM ALL TO JUST STOP WHERE YOU'RE AT BECAUSE IT WAS DANGEROUS WITH THE GAS LINE.

THEY HAVE SINCE MOVED THE GAS LINE. IT'S DISABLED AND MOVED AWAY FROM THE HOUSE.

THE WENT BY TODAY AND CHECKED AND THEY HAVE IT CAPPED OFF.

SO WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THEM TO CALL NOW AND AND TO SCHEDULE AN INSPECTION ON THAT.

AND THEN THEY CAN BEGIN THE THE DEMO PROCESS.

SO IF THAT DEMO PROCESS DOESN'T GET STARTED BEFORE LONG, WE'LL BRING IT BACK AND ASK FOR A THE ORDER FOR DEMO.

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND START THAT FOR THEM. WE'RE HOPING THAT THEY'LL GO AHEAD AND TAKE CARE OF IT AND GET IT TORE DOWN AND, AND CLEANED UP AND EVERYTHING LIKE THEY SHOULD.

BUT IF IT DOESN'T, THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND GO WHAT WE DID AFTER OUR LAST MEETING WHERE YOU ALL ISSUED THE DEMO ORDER AND PROCEED WITH THAT.

SO WE CAN GET IT. IT'S REALLY IN A DANGEROUS STATE THE WAY IT IS RIGHT NOW.

THE HOUSE IS STARTING TO LEAN AND IT'S IN BAD SHAPE RIGHT NOW, SO.

IT'S A BIG ONE. OKAY. MOVING ON TO.

[III.2. The Commission to hold a public hearing, consider and take action to determine the condition of structures as prescribed by City of Decatur Code of Ordinances, Article IV Unsafe, Dangerous or Hazardous Buildings and Structures, Section 10-105 Proceedings of the Building Standards Commission, (b) Criteria for Determining Substandard Condition, of property owned by Aguillar F&F Companies, LLC, located at 302 South Lane Street, City of Decatur, Wise County, Texas also described as Block 48 Tarleton Addition. If the structure is determined to be substandard, the Commission shall take action according to the City of Decatur Code of Ordinances, Article IV Unsafe, Dangerous, or Hazardous Buildings and Structures, Section 10-105 Proceedings of the Building Standards Commission, (d) Action by the commission: Time Frames. (Code Case #3348) ]

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I'M GOING TO HAND OUT A LETTER.

SO AT 2:00 THIS AFTERNOON, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER ADDRESSING THIS CASE.

AND SO I WANT TO GIVE THIS LETTER TO YOU SO THAT YOU HAVE SOME INSIGHT.

SO THIS IS A SUBSTANDARD CASE. PROPERTY ADDRESS IS 302 SOUTH LANE STREET.

IT IS A WE ARE ASKING FOR A DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE.

THE INITIAL CONTACT FOR THIS PROPERTY WAS WAS MADE IN AUGUST OF 2025.

WE FOUND SOME WORK THAT HAD BEEN DONE WITHOUT ANY PERMITTING HAD BEEN WORKING WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER TO TRY TO GET THEM TO COME IN AND PULL A PERMIT, SUBMIT PLANS, AND WORK THROUGH THAT PROCESS. MET WITH THEM ON LOCATION AND IN OUR OFFICE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, BUT WERE NEVER ABLE TO GET THIS TO MOVE FORWARD TO, TO HAVE TO GET IT MOVED TO A PERMIT.

SO THE CONSTRUCTION WAS STARTED ON THE PROPERTY WITHOUT ANY REVIEW OF THE CHANGES OR PERMITTING OR FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE ON THERE.

SO WE DID END UP BRINGING IT BEFORE BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION.

WE HAD IT ON AN AGENDA ITEM FOR APRIL 13TH. THAT PARTICULAR MEETING, WE WERE NOT ABLE TO HAVE A QUORUM AND WERE NOT ABLE TO HAVE A MEETING THAT DAY. AND SO AT THAT TIME THE AGUILAR [INAUDIBLE] MET HERE IN THE ROOM AND DISCUSSED OUR, OUR PATH FORWARD. WE HAD PLANNED ON BRINGING IT AT THE NEXT MEETING, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN IN MAY.

THEY DID ASK FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME THAT THEY WANTED TO GET SOME SOME PLANS TOGETHER AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.

[00:05:04]

WE HAD NOT HEARD FROM THEM IN ALL OF THIS TIME UNTIL ABOUT 2:00 THIS AFTERNOON.

WE RECEIVED AN EMAIL ON THEIR NOW MY UNDERSTANDING FROM, FROM THE PROPERTY OWNERS, THEY MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT I WAS COMMUNICATING AT THE LAST MEETING WHEN WE MET HERE ON APRIL 13TH.

I HAD INDICATED THAT WE NEEDED THEM TO GET THE PLANS INTO US AND MOVE FORWARD WITH PERMITTING BEFORE WE BRING IT BACK TO BUILDING STANDARDS.

THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY NEEDED TO BRING THE PLANS TO BUILDING STANDARDS AND BRING THEM HERE FOR YOUR REVIEW OF THOSE.

SO THERE WAS SOME MISCOMMUNICATION IN THAT. THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS DONE MODIFICATIONS TO THE ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING AND PLUMBING SYSTEMS WITHOUT ANY INSPECTIONS OR PERMITTING AT THIS TIME.

THEY'VE GOT ADDITIONAL LIVING SPACE THAT'S BEEN ADDED ABOVE THE CURRENT SINGLE STORY THAT'S IN THERE.

THEY, THERE'S NO ACCOUNT FOR THE LOAD PATHS OR THE STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR THOSE FOR THAT SECOND STORY THAT'S ON THERE.

THERE'S ALSO BEEN SOME FIRE DAMAGE TO THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY THAT WE'RE NOT SURE HOW IT WAS MITIGATED OR ACCOUNTED FOR AND TAKEN CARE OF.

THIS, A LOT OF THAT FIRE DAMAGE WAS TURNED, WAS COVERED UP BY SPRAY FOAM INSULATION THAT THEY CAME AND SPRAYED OVER THE TOP OF ALL OF THIS.

BEING THAT THEY ARE THE PROPERTY OWNER IS HERE AND HAVE HAS A PROPOSAL TO, TO BRING BEFORE BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION AS TO A TIMELINE FOR THEM TO MAKE THESE CORRECTIONS, I'D LIKE TO TO GIVE THEM SOME TIME TO LOOK AT THAT AFTER THIS PRESENTATION SO THAT YOU CAN LOOK AT IT.

BUT WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR A DETERMINATION OF A SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE AT THIS TIME.

AND WHAT OUR WHAT OUR CONCERN IS ON THAT IS THAT WE DON'T WANT THIS PROPERTY TO END UP GETTING SOLD LATER DOWN THE LINE TO SOMEBODY WHO DOES NOT IS NOT AWARE THAT THERE ARE THERE ARE VIOLATIONS THAT ARE INVOLVED WITH THIS PROPERTY.

AND SO WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO IS GO AHEAD AND GET THAT DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE, BUT WE WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE FOR THEM TO BRING THIS PROPERTY BACK UP TO A SPOT WHERE IT CAN BE USED, BE A BE A USEFUL PROPERTY AND A HOME FOR SOMEBODY ALONG THE WAY.

IT'S BEEN AN EYESORE FOR, FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

I DO HAVE SOME PICTURES THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THIS WITH SOME OF THE ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING THAT WAS DONE IN THERE. ALL OF THIS WILL HAVE TO COME OUT SO THAT WE CAN SEE WHAT WAS PUT IN THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS DONE CORRECTLY.

AT THIS TIME, WE DO NOT HAVE A ELECTRICAL OR PLUMBING CONTRACTOR THAT IS ATTACHED WITH THIS.

THERE'S SOME OF THE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS THAT WERE THAT WERE INCLUDED WITH THIS, THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN INSPECTED, GOT SOME TWO BY SIX MATERIALS THAT ARE MAKING UP THE WHAT WAS CEILING JOISTS, WHICH ARE NOW BEING CONSIDERED AS FLOOR JOISTS BECAUSE THEY'VE ADDED THAT LIVING SPACE ON THE SECOND FLOOR. AND SO THAT'S NOT ADEQUATE FOR THE LIVE LOADS THAT WOULD BE IMPOSED ON THAT.

WAYNE, HOW RECENT ARE THESE PHOTOS? I COULD GET YOU DATES ON THEM.

THEY VARY FROM BUT THEY'RE ALL FROM NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR UP UNTIL THE LAST FIRST FEW MONTHS OF, OF THIS YEAR, JANUARY, FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR IS I THINK THE LAST TIME WE WERE IN THAT HOUSE.

SO, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IS TO DECLARE THE STRUCTURE SUBSTANDARD BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION OF THE HOUSE, BECAUSE OF THE ELEMENTS, THE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS THAT ARE INCLUDED WITH THAT.

AND OF COURSE, WE'VE GOT THE PROCESS THAT WE WORK THROUGH ON THAT PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS.

SO WE'LL OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING HERE IN A FEW MINUTES AND WHENEVER YOU'RE READY AND CAN WORK THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

AND THEN OF COURSE YOU HAVE THE THE EXHIBITS THAT ARE IN THE THE HANDOUT THERE FROM THE FIRST LETTER THAT WE INITIALLY MADE TO THEM ON AUGUST 20TH, 2025 THE TAX ASSESSOR COLLECTOR CERTIFICATES THAT ARE ON THEIR OWNERSHIP AND ENCUMBRANCE REPORT THAT WE HAD THAT WE COMMISSIONED.

AND THEN THE PUBLIC HEARING NOTIFICATION FOR THE BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION AND NEWSPAPER NOTICE ON THERE.

THERE'S ALSO SOME DETAILED CASE NOTES. YOU CAN SEE THE TIME THAT WE'VE SPENT GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE PROPERTY OWNER THAT'S ON THERE.

AND SO AT THIS TIME, WHENEVER YOU'RE READY, YOU COULD OPEN UP A PUBLIC HEARING ON THAT.

I'VE GOT A QUESTION, WAYNE. YES, I GRABBED THIS.

I SAW YOU SAID

[00:10:02]

I THINK YOU SAID THIS WAS AN EMAIL. WAS THIS AN ATTACHMENT TO AN EMAIL? OKAY. OKAY, GREAT. I ALSO HAVE TWO ENGINEERING REPORTS THAT CAME IN WITH THAT.

I HAVE NOT HAD TIME TO STUDY THOSE IN DETAIL.

I'VE GOT THE, THE BASIC GIST OF THIS. ONE OF THEM IS A FOUNDATION REPORT FROM AN ENGINEER THAT BASICALLY SAYS THAT THERE ARE REPAIRS THAT NEED TO BE MADE TO THIS FOUNDATION. BUT IT IS STILL FUNCTIONING AS A FOUNDATION AT THIS TIME AND CAN BE REPAIRED.

AND THE OTHER PORTION OF THAT REPORT FROM THE SAME ENGINEER IS A STRUCTURAL EVALUATION.

AND BASICALLY THE STRUCTURAL EVALUATION SAYS IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE DONE A GOOD JOB WITH IT, BUT WE REALLY CAN'T SEE BECAUSE MOST OF IT'S BEEN COVERED UP.

I THINK YOU ANSWERED MY QUESTION. THAT WAS THAT WAS WHAT IT WAS ABOUT.

SO YOU DO HAVE AN EMAIL FORM THE THE ENGINEER THAT THEY HAVE.

I DO. I'VE GOT I'VE GOT ONE SET OF THE REPORTS OUT HERE AND HAPPY TO TO LET YOU LOOK AT THOSE ALSO.

YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT PERMITS HAD NOT BEEN DONE TO DATE.

THEY HAVE NOT. NOW DO YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED AS OF THE DOCUMENTS TODAY TO COMPLETE THOSE PERMITS? WE DO NOT. OKAY. WHEN WAS THE LAST WORK DONE ON THIS PROPERTY? THERE WAS SOME ADDITIONAL WORK THAT WAS DONE LATE LAST YEAR THAT WE, I THINK THAT THE GUYS HAD HAD SEEN THAT THERE WAS ADDITIONAL WORK THAT HAD BEEN DONE, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF ANY, ANYTHING ELSE HAS BEEN DONE IN THAT TIME FRAME.

WE HAVE NOT BEEN BACK IN THE HOUSE SINCE EARLY, THE EARLY PART OF THIS YEAR, JANUARY OR FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR.

WAYNE, DIDN'T WE PUT A STOP WORK? WE DID. WHAT DATE DID WE PLACE THEM? I DO NOT HAVE THAT. AND ON ME RIGHT NOW. BUT WE DO HAVE A STOP WORK ORDER THAT IS IN PLACE ON THIS.

I THINK THAT WAS ON THAT AUGUST ON THE INITIAL.

OKAY. SO IS MARCH 3RD THE LAST TIME THAT WE TALKED TO THEM PRIOR TO TODAY? WE TALKED TO THEM IN APRIL ALSO. THAT WAS A, THAT WAS A, THAT WAS THE MEETING THAT WAS RESCHEDULED.

WE DID NOT GET RECEIVE A QUORUM ON. AND SO WE, WE JUST SAT HERE AND TALKED TALKED THIS OUT ABOUT WHAT THE PROCESS WOULD LOOK LIKE ON THIS. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MR. SMITH? HEARING NONE, I WILL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR 302 SOUTH LANE AT 405.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP, YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME TO. AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.

GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS ALEXIA AGUILAR. I AM HERE REGARDING THE HOUSE ON 302 SOUTH LANE STREET.

I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE COMMISSION ALLOW ADDITIONAL TIME TO BRING THIS PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE RATHER THAN PURSUE DEMOLITION OR SUBSTANDARD.

THIS PROPERTY IS NOT BEING ABANDONED. IT'S SIGNIFICANT STEPS HAVE ALREADY BEEN TAKEN TOWARD REHABILITATION.

WE HAVE RETAINED A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER WHO HAS EVALUATED THE STRUCTURE AND HAS PROVIDED THAT THE FINDINGS OF THE PROPERTY'S CONDITION CONDITION CAN BE BROUGHT UP TO CODE. WHILE PORTIONS OF THE STRUCTURE DO REQUIRE REPAIR, THE ENGINEERING EVALUATION INDICATES THAT THE PROPERTY CAN BE REPAIRED.

ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATION MAY BE REQUIRED IN CERTAIN CONCEALED AREAS, WHICH WE ARE OKAY WITH REMOVING SOME OF THAT FOAM INSULATION.

SO THE ENGINEER CAN COME AND LOOK AT IT AGAIN AND MAKE IT GIVE THEIR, THEIR OPINION ON IT.

WE HAVE ALREADY INVESTED SUBSTANTIAL TIME AND RESOURCES INTO THE ENGINEERING EVALUATIONS, PLANNING AND, AND PREPARATIONS. OUR PLAN IS TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE ENGINEER WITH THE EXPOSED FRAMING.

EXPOSE THE FRAMING WHERE REQUIRED, OBTAIN ANY NECESSARY ENGINEERED REPAIR RECOMMENDATIONS, SUBMIT PLANS AND PERMITS, AND COMPLETE ALL REPAIRS UNDER THE CITY'S OVERSIGHT AND INSPECTION.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO BRINGING THIS PROPERTY INTO FULL COMPLIANCE AND MAINTAINING COMMUNICATION WITH THE CITY STAFF THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. FOR THESE REASONS, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE COMMISSION APPROVE A COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT WITH REASONABLE MILESTONES AND DEADLINES, RATHER THAN THE DEMOLITION OR THE SUBSTANDARD.

THANK YOU. AND MISS AGUILAR. CHAIRMAN CLINESMITH HAD ASKED FOR YOUR ADDRESS.

MY ADDRESS IS 304 SOUTH STATE STREET, DECATUR, TEXAS.

AS FAR AS THE PERMITTING GOES, HOW QUICKLY DO YOU THINK YOU CAN GET THE CITY? EVERYTHING THEY NEED FOR THOSE PERMITS. WE CAN HAVE IT READY FOR THEM BY THE 28TH OF THIS MONTH.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? COMMISSION? COMFORTABLE WITH THE SCHEDULE THAT WE'VE THAT DWAYNE HAS GIVEN US TODAY, WITH THE FINAL INSPECTION BEING SEPTEMBER THE 30TH?

[00:15:07]

THAT'S THE SCHEDULE THAT I MADE. IF EVERYTHING GOES AS PLANNED, THAT'S THE SCHEDULE THAT I FEEL THAT WE CAN MAKE MAKE WORK.

AS LONG AS WE GET THE PERMITS AND EVERYTHING MOVING.

SO. DANNY, ARE YOU REFERRING. DANNY? ARE YOU REFERRING TO THIS THAT WAYNE HANDED OUT? I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MISS AGUILAR PROVIDED TO THE CITY.

THIS ISN'T FROM WAYNE. OKAY. HAVE YOU NEWLY ACQUIRED OR ACQUIRED THIS PROPERTY, OR BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN VACANT FOR YEARS.

RIGHT? YEAH. SO THE WE WE ACQUIRED IT IN 2024.

WE KIND OF JUST LEFT IT BE. IT WASN'T UNTIL LATER ON THAT WE WENT IN AND STARTED DEMOING AND REMOVING SOME OF THE STUFF IS WHEN WE REALIZED THAT THE HOUSE HAD BEEN BURNT. SO PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE, WE DIDN'T REALIZE.

SO, AND FROM WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT PEOPLE LIVED IN THE HOME WHILE IT WAS BURNT.

SO IT WAS BURNT, PEOPLE FIXED IT, THEY COVERED IT UP, AND THEN THEY CONTINUED TO LIVE THERE.

AND THEN THEY OBVIOUSLY ABANDONED THE HOME AND IT HAD BEEN SITTING ABANDONED FOR YEARS BEFORE WE PURCHASED IT.

THANK YOU. OKAY, SO YOU RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE CITY, EXCUSE ME, FROM THE CITY IN AUGUST OF 25, CORRECT? YES. OKAY.

ASKING YOU TO BE COMPLIANT WITH THE BUILDING CODES WITHIN THE CITY.

RIGHT. OKAY. THEN YOU PROGRESSED AND IGNORED WHAT THE CITY WAS ASKING OF YOU WITHOUT PERMIT, WITHOUT LICENSE, CONTRACTORS, THE WHOLE NINE YARDS THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT.

OKAY. AND NOW THAT THE CITY HAS BASICALLY COME IN AND SAID, YOU CAN'T CANNOT DO THIS, WHICH THAT'S A CITY ORDINANCE.

AND NOW THEN YOU'RE ASKING US TO RE YOU'VE HAD ALMOST A YEAR.

AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT PROCESS OF, WELL, WE'RE JUST GOING TO IGNORE IT AND THEN CONTINUE WORKING UNTIL THEY PUT A STOP ORDER ON YOU. A STOP WORK ORDER. OKAY. AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT PROCESS OF THIS IS OUR CODE TO BE CODE COMPLIANCE.

AND WHAT I'M SEEING IS YOUR COMPANY OR IN PROPERTY INVESTMENT, WHATEVER IT IS, TOTALLY IGNORED WHAT WE WERE ASKING OR WHAT THE CITY ASKED OF YOU.

AND THAT RIGHT THERE. I MEAN, WHAT MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PROCEED FORWARD WITH THIS? I MEAN, YOU PUT THIS OUT TODAY AT 2:00 THIS AFTERNOON.

YOU KNOW, I'M NOT FOLLOWING THAT PROCESS, IF THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU.

YEAH, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THAT. THIS HOME WAS PURCHASED FOR ME AND THIS IS MY PROJECT.

I DON'T WANT TO SOUND IGNORANT, BUT I AM IGNORANT TO HOW THIS PROCESS WORKS.

SO I THINK WHENEVER I WOULD REACH OUT TO THE CITY FOR THE HELP I DON'T THINK I WAS ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS AND I LET TIME GET AWAY FROM ME. AND WE GOT TO THE POINT WHERE, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS A TIME FRAME THAT I NEEDED TO GET MY STUFF IN ORDER.

SO AND IT'S NOT REALLY AN ANSWER, BUT I'M. OKAY.

I UNDERSTAND BEING, YOU KNOW, NOT UNDERSTANDING THE LAWS OF THE CITY.

I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT I WILL TELL YOU, THIS CITY WILL BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO HELP ANY OF THE RESIDENTS AND ANY OTHER CONTRACTORS. I'VE BEEN THERE MANY TIMES, AND THEY DO AN EXCELLENT JOB OF EXPLAINING AND HELPING AND LENDING AN EXTRA HAND AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT. BUT I JUST WAS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE COULDN'T FOLLOW THE RULES OF WHAT THE CITY IMPLIES AND APPLIES. SO YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IS, IS WHY THAT PROCESS WAS NOT FOLLOWED. BECAUSE WE DO HAVE RULES IN THIS CITY AND WE ALL LIVE BY THEM, AND THAT MAKES OUR CITY A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE.

YEAH. AND THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE AFTER HERE.

BUT ANYWAY. I WILL CONSIDER THAT. THANK YOU. AND TO ADD TO THAT I THINK AT FIRST I MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT THE CITY WAS ASKING.

I THOUGHT THEY WANTED AN ARCHITECT TO COME OUT.

AND WE GOT LOTS OF QUOTES FROM ARCHITECTS WHERE THEY WERE QUOTING US ANYWHERE FROM 20 TO $40,000.

AND I THINK WHAT THE CITY REALLY WANTED WAS JUST A FLOOR PLAN, WHICH I HAVE INCLUDED IN THE EMAIL THAT I SENT OVER TODAY.

SO IT'S JUST A LOT OF MISCOMMUNICATION AND ME JUST NOT REALLY UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE CITY WAS ASKING FOR.

IF I, IF I COULD CLARIFY JUST A MINUTE WHAT I THINK YOU'RE YOU WERE ASKING AND MAYBE SHE ANSWERED IT,

[00:20:03]

BUT I THINK WHAT MR. GILLESPIE IS ASKING YOU IS WHY, WHEN THEY TOLD YOU YOU HAD TO GET PERMITS TO DO MORE WORK, WHY DID YOU DO MORE WORK AFTER THEY TOLD YOU YOU COULDN'T WITHOUT GETTING PERMITS? I THINK I LET MY DAD HANDLE A LOT OF THAT STUFF, AND I JUST FIGURED THAT HE WOULD HANDLE IT, AND I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHEN IT WHAT IT WHAT WAS HAPPENING BEFORE THAT.

SO I JUST THOUGHT LIKE.[INAUDIBLE] STATE YOUR NAME, SIR. MY NAME JOSE AGUILAR. AND ADDRESS AS WELL, SIR.

THAT'S 304 LANE. SOUTH STATE LANE. THANK YOU.

OKAY. WHEN WAYNE SAY STOP THE THE. DON'T DO NO MORE.

STOP. OKAY. WHY SAY YOU NEED A FLOOR PLAN AND ENGINEER, AND WE CONTACT A COUPLE OF GUYS AND ONE CHARGE 20,000 AND THE OTHER BY 11,000. BARELY FINDING ONE, THE ONE WE SEND IT TODAY.

THIS REASONABLE PRICE FOR US. OKAY. WHEN? WHEN I SAY DON'T DO MORE WORK, WE STOP, OKAY. WE DON'T DO ANYTHING IN THAT HOUSE. MY BIGGER PROBLEM IN THAT HOUSE, WE PURCHASED TWO YEARS AGO.

AND WHEN I SAY, ALL IN ALL, THIS HOUSE WAS BURN.

OKAY. I SAY NOW HE MAKES A COMPLAINT FOR BURNT HOUSE AND I BUY TWO YEARS AGO.

I MAKE A MISTAKE. I DON'T KNOW. YEAH. YOU KNOW, I'M SORRY.

YOU KNOW I SAID THAT WAY. YOU KNOW I'M BUY SOMETHING.

I NEVER CHECK IT. JUST. I HAVE SOME FOR SALE.

I BUY THE HOUSE. I FIND IT BURNT. AND THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU SAY NEED AN ENGINEER, NEED AN ARCHITECT, WE HAVE. LET'S GO KEEP GOING. SEE WHAT HAPPENED.

YOU KNOW WE DON'T DO NO MORE WORK. WHEN SAY STOP, WE STOP AND DO NO MORE WORK.

I COST TO YOU MONEY. EVERYTHING YOU COST MONEY, YOU KNOW.

YES, SIR. I DON'T WANT TO THROW AWAY MONEY FOR NO REASON.

YES, SIR. YOU KNOW, I'M SORRY. I'M BAD. YOU KNOW, I FEEL BAD MYSELF.

OKAY. SOMETIMES WE THINK FOR SOMETHING GOOD. I DON'T KNOW, YOU DECISION WHAT YOU WANT TO DO BY THE HOUSE, THE DECISION. WHAT? YOU WANT TO BUY THIS HOUSE? WE TRY TO FIX IT NICE AND I'M PROFESSIONAL. AND DO ANY FLOOR, ANY SHOWER.

I LEAVE IT HERE IN THE GARAGE FOR ALMOST 25 YEARS.

OKAY. AND I NEVER, NO HAVE NO COMPLAINT TO NOBODY.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. LET ME RETURN TO THE SCHEDULE.

YOU MADE THIS SCHEDULE UP. NOT WITHOUT HELP FROM THE CITY.

IS THAT MY UNDERSTANDING? YES. OKAY. MAY I ASK A QUESTION OF WAYNE? IF WE WERE TO DEEM IT TO BE SUBSTANDARD. DOES THAT HALT OR STOP THEIR ABILITY TO WORK ON IT? IT DOES NOT. EXCUSE ME. LET ME JUST COME UP HERE.

IT DOES NOT. IT JUST DETERMINES THAT IT IS SUBSTANDARD.

THEN THEY CAN REPAIR IT TO BRING IT INTO COMPLIANCE.

DOES IT REQUIRE ANY ADDITIONAL PERMITS OR? IT WOULD BE THE SAME PERMITTING PROCESS THAT IS ALREADY IN PLACE.

OKAY. SO THERE'S NOT LIKE A OKAY, THIS IS A SPECIAL ONE TO GET YOU OUT OF SUBSTANDARD QUALIFICATION.

THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF THROUGH THE INSPECTION PROCESS AS WE WORK THROUGH THAT PERMIT.

OKAY. MY QUESTION I'M ASKING THAT BECAUSE I AND I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, MR. AGUILAR, AND AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE.

I THINK A LOT OF US HAVE BOUGHT PROPERTIES AND WE FIND OUT LOVES, THE LOVELY GOLDEN NUGGETS WHEN WE GET INTO IT.

BUT THE FACT THAT YOU IGNORED NOTICES FOR SO MANY MONTHS, MY CONCERN WOULD BE IS THAT IF WE DO NOT DEEM THE SUBSTANDARD THAT THE IGNORING WILL CONTINUE. NOW THERE WILL BE TWO SEPARATE VOTES.

ONE WILL BE FOR THE DESIGNATION OF THE SUBSTANDARD PROPERTY AND THEN A FOLLOW UP TO DETERMINE THE TIME FRAME.

YES, THERE WILL BE TWO SEPARATE DISCUSSIONS THERE.

CHAIRMAN, I HAD ONE QUESTION. IF I COULD ASK, WHEN YOU ALL PURCHASED THE HOUSE, DID YOU GET AN INSPECTION DONE OF THE HOUSE AS PART OF THE PURCHASE? SO WE DIDN'T. WE BOUGHT IT AS IS.

[00:25:01]

WE ACTUALLY DIDN'T EVEN GO INSIDE THE HOME. WE DIDN'T GET WE DIDN'T LOOK AT THE HOME UNTIL WE HAD ALREADY CLOSED.

DO WE HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE OWNERS? I THINK I'M COMFORTABLE THAT MR. AGUILAR UNDERSTANDS THE PROCESS NOW, AND WE'LL GO WITH IT IF.

IF THAT'S WHAT HE'LL DO. I'M OKAY. BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND, YOU GOT YOUR WORK CUT OUT FOR YOU.

ABSOLUTELY. I HAD ONE FOLLOW UP. MISS AGUILAR.

AGUILAR. EXCUSE ME. IN YOUR PRESENTATION, I THINK YOU PHRASED IT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE WORK WOULD HAVE TO BE TORN OUT.

I THINK YOU MENTIONED THE FOAM. LET ME CLARIFY.

THERE'S A LOT MORE THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE PULLED UP OR OFF THAN JUST JUST THE FOAM INSULATION.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? I UNDERSTAND THAT THE FOAM, SOME ELECTRICAL AND SOME PLUMBING WILL NEED TO BE TORN OUT.

IT WOULD BE ANY CONSTRUCTION THAT WAS CONCEALED DURING THIS PROCESS BECAUSE WE'VE WE'VE HAD A LIMITED INSPECTION OFF OF THIS.

BUT THERE ARE AREAS THAT HAVE THERE, THERE ARE AREAS THAT HAVE FLUORINE ON THEM, OR WALL SECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT UP THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S BEHIND THAT.

SO IT MAY BE IT WOULD BE ANYTHING THAT WAS CONCEALED DURING THE PROCESS.

LET ME ASK THIS TO WAYNE BEFORE THEY BEGIN TO TEAR ANYTHING OUT.

DOES THE PERMITTING HAVE TO BE COMPLETED? YES.

I WOULD WANT THE PERMITTING IN PLACE SO THAT WE HAVE A WAY TO DOCUMENT WHAT WE FIND ALONG THE WAY.

RIGHT. I'M JUST LOOKING IT UP TO MAKE SURE. BUT I BET WAYNE KNOWS THIS OFF THE TOP OF HIS HEAD.

I THINK THE FURTHEREST THIS COMMISSION COULD POSSIBLY GO IS 90 DAYS BY LAW.

AM I RIGHT? THEY CAN GO FURTHER. OKAY. BUT THEY'RE VERY SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR GOING PAST THE 90 DAYS, WHICH DOES INCLUDE A WRITTEN PLAN FROM THE APPLICANT OR FROM THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. AND THEN THEN FOLLOW UPS AT SUBSEQUENT BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION MEETINGS.

AND THAT'S IF SO, IF IT'S DEEMED SUBSTANDARD, THEN WE'RE KIND OF LIMITED TO THAT 90 DAYS.

IS THAT CORRECT? I'M SORRY. SO IF IT'S DEEMED SUB SUBSTANDARD, THEN YOU WERE LIMITED TO THAT 90 DAYS GENERALLY.

NO. OKAY. SO HERE'S, HERE'S WHERE THE ACTION BY THE COMMISSION YOU DETERMINE WHETHER IT'S SUBSTANDARD.

AFTER THAT YOU HAVE THESE TIME FRAMES THAT ARE ON HERE IN SECTION 10.105.

THE STANDARD TIME FRAME ON THIS IS 30 DAYS EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE.

SO IN THAT 30 DAYS, YOU HAVE TO SECURE THE BUILDING FROM UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY, REPAIR, REMOVE OR DEMOLISH THE BUILDING UNLESS THE OWNER OR LIENHOLDER ESTABLISHES THE WORK OR AT THE HEARING THAT THE WORK CANNOT BE REASONABLY PERFORMED WITHIN THE 30 DAYS.

I THINK THAT THEY'VE MET THAT CRITERIA. SECOND ONE IS B, WHICH IS 30 TO 90 DAY TIME PERIOD.

THAT CAN ALLOW THE OWNER MORE THAN 30 DAYS TO REPAIR, REMOVE OR DEMOLISH THE BUILDING.

THE COMMISSION SHALL ESTABLISH SPECIFIC TIME SCHEDULES FOR THE COMMENCEMENT AND PERFORMANCE OF THE WORK, AND SHALL REQUIRE THE OWNER TO SECURE THE PROPERTY FROM, IN A REASONABLE MANNER, FROM UNAUTHORIZED, UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY WHILE THE WORK IS BEING PERFORMED AS DETERMINED AT THE HEARING.

AND THEN THE THIRD ONE IS THIS ONE PERIODS IN EXCESS OF 90 DAYS.

THE COMMISSION MAY ALLOW THE OWNER LIENHOLDER OR MORTGAGEE MORE THAN 90 DAYS TO REPAIR REMOVE OR DEMOLISH THE BUILDING AND OR FULLY PERFORM ALL WORK REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE ORDER IF THE OWNER OR LIENHOLDER OR MORTGAGE ONE SUBMITS A DETAILED PLAN AND TIME SCHEDULE FOR THE WORK AT THE HEARING ESTABLISHES AT THE HEARING THAT THE WORK CANNOT BE REASONABLY COMPLETED WITHIN 90 DAYS BECAUSE OF THE SCOPE OR COMPLEXITY, REGULARLY SUBMITS PROGRESS REPORTS TO THE MUNICIPALITY TO DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH THE TIME SCHEDULES ESTABLISHED FOR THE COMMENCEMENT AND PERFORMANCE OF THE WORK. THAT IT ALSO. AND SECTION 10-105 D. THAT ALSO PUTS THE BURDEN OF PROOF FOR DETERMINING WHAT THAT COMPLEXITY OF WORK AND THE TIMETABLE ON THERE PUTS THE BURDEN OF PROOF ON THE APPLICANT.

[00:30:03]

SO THE BASICALLY THIS THIS THIRD ONE BASICALLY SAYS, YOU CAN DO THIS.

HOWEVER YOU HAVE TO HAVE A TIMETABLE AND YOU HAVE TO REPORT ON REGULAR BASIS BACK TO THIS AT ANY POINT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO BRING THAT BACK TO BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION AND SAY THIS HAS NOT MOVED OR PROGRESSED FORWARD.

WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE OTHER ACTION IN THIS. AND WE CAN DO THAT IN BETWEEN.

AND I WANT TO MAKE IT MAKE IT VERY CLEAR. OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS NOT TO TEAR THIS PROPERTY DOWN.

I AGREE WITH YOU. THEY CAN IF. I AGREE WITH YOU, PAIR IT.

WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IT BACK AS A AS A USEFUL HOME IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND HERE'S MY ISSUE WITH THE WHOLE DEAL ON THAT.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT. I MEAN, THIS YOUNG LADY WANTS A HOME AND I'M.

IS THIS YOUR FATHER BACK HERE? OKAY. ANYWAY, AND HE'S TRYING VERY HARD TO ESTABLISH THAT FOR YOU.

AND I'M IN TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH THAT. BUT WHAT I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IS THIS TIMETABLE THAT YOU'VE SET FORTH HERE, BECAUSE BASED OFF THE PICTURES THAT I'M SEEING, YOU'RE GOING TO BE FURTHER OUT THAN THIS.

ALL RIGHT. AND ANYWAY, AND SO IF IF WE GRANT YOU THIS TIME AND THERE'S NO PROGRESS MADE, I'M IN AGREEANCE WITH WAYNE, WE NEED TO COME BACK AND SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT? THEY'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING. WE'RE GOING TO DO A DIFFERENT ACTION THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

BUT I'M IN TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH THAT. WAYNE. THIS IS TRUE.

CAN WE REQUIRE, WAYNE THAT THEY HAVE PROGRESS REPORTS TO YOU OR INSPECTIONS MUST HAPPEN WITHIN THIS TIMELINE, THIS TIMELINE, THIS TIMELINE. I BELIEVE THAT THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED UNDER NUMBER THREE ON THIS.

REGULAR SUBMITTALS SUBMITTED FOR PROGRESS REPORTS TO THE MUNICIPALITY TO DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH THE TIME SCHEDULES ESTABLISHED FOR THE COMPLIANCE.

ABSOLUTELY. I THINK THAT THAT'S A THAT'S A REASONABLE EXPECTATION THAT THERE'S A TIMETABLE THAT THAT HAPPENS.

SO IF WE HAD A 90 DAY LIMIT ON THERE, BUT TWO MONTHS FROM NOW, THERE'S OBVIOUS, YOU KNOW, PROGRESS GOING ON AND IT'S GOING TO PUSH PAST THIS.

WE COULD WE COULD ACT ON THAT TO GIVE THEM MORE TIME IF THINGS WERE MOVING AND GETTING FIXED UP.

OF COURSE, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WILL BE REPORTING BACK TO YOU.

IT'S JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW, THIS THIS HOUSE OVER HERE ON ON NEWARK STREET THAT'S BEEN ON YOUR SCHEDULE.

THAT OR YOUR AGENDA FOR THE LAST 4 OR 5 MONTHS, RIGHT.

AND SO THIS ONE, WE WILL HAVE REGULAR UPDATES ON THIS, LETTING YOU KNOW WHERE WE'RE AT ON THIS.

HEY, THEY'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH IT. HEY, HERE'S SOME PICTURES. HERE'S WHAT IT'S LOOKING LIKE NOW. THIS IS WHAT WE'RE WHERE WE'RE AT, WHAT'S GOING ON? OR, HEY, WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM THE AGUILARS AND WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD.

MISS AGUILAR, ARE YOU UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE'RE SAYING HERE? THAT YOU YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PROGRESS. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO OBTAIN YOUR YOUR LICENSE, CONTRACTORS AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO IT TO PULL THE PERMITS AND DO EVERYTHING.

ARE YOU UNDERSTANDING THIS? YES. I THINK THE TIMELINE THAT I HAD ON THERE WAS JUST TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT WERE OUTSIDE OF THE HOME, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT'S, WHAT THE LETTER THAT WE HAD POSTED ON OUR DOOR HAD STATED THAT PEOPLE.

THEY WERE AFRAID THAT PEOPLE COULD COME ON THE PORCH, GET HURT, MAYBE FALL THROUGH THE FLOOR AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

SO. OKAY. I'M AWARE OF THAT. BUT THE, THE, THE, THE PICTURES THAT ARE PRESENTED TO US ARE NOT OUTSIDE THE HOME.

THE PLUMBING IS NOT OUTSIDE THE HOME. THE ELECTRICAL IS NOT OUTSIDE THE HOME.

AND THESE THINGS THAT ARE BEING DONE IN YOUR HOUSE HAVE TO BE DONE BY A LICENSED CONTRACTOR.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT. YOU HAVE TO HIRE THAT. YES.

AND MY FATHER IS A LICENSED CONTRACTOR. THEY HAVE TO BE A LICENSED PLUMBER, A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.

HE HAS A PLUMBING LICENSE AND ELECTRICIAN LICENSE.

WE WILL FIND PEOPLE THAT ARE LICENSED PLUMBERS.

BUT AS FAR AS EVERYTHING ELSE. THAT'S THE DEAL BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE THOSE CONTRACTORS DO THAT.

IF THERE'S BUT YOU DON'T QUALIFY FOR A HOMESTEAD ON THAT PROPERTY AT THIS TIME THAT I'M AWARE OF.

AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING THAT SAYS THAT. SO THEREFORE, YOU HAVE TO USE LICENSED CONTRACTORS.

THEY HAVE TO HAVE A MASTER PLUMBING LICENSE, A MASTER ELECTRICIAN LICENSE, AND APPLICABLE A LICENSE TO DO THAT STUFF.

SO I MEAN, THERE'S, THERE'S LIMITATIONS TO WHAT YOUR FATHER CAN DO AND WITHOUT THE PROPER LICENSE AND INSURANCES.

RIGHT. AND THAT'S TO PROTECT THE HOMEOWNERS. NOW YOU'RE UNDERSTANDING THAT, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO DO THIS WITHIN A CERTAIN REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME.

BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK AND, AND MAKE OTHER DECISIONS FOR YOU.

OKAY. YES, I UNDERSTAND. I THINK WHAT I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND AT THIS POINT IS HOW MUCH TIME AM I GOING TO BE GIVEN? BECAUSE I THINK YOU GUYS ARE STILL. WE'RE TRYING TO GIVE YOU 90 DAYS IS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

[00:35:04]

BUT BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ACT. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ACT ON IT.

YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T GO FROM AUGUST TO NEARLY AUGUST AND NOT HAVE ANY ACTION.

THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK. OKAY. YEAH. AS LONG AS I'M I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I NEED TO DO IN THOSE 90 DAYS, AND YES, I OKAY. AND THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO YOU.

IS THAT SO THAT YOU STATED EARLIER THAT YOU MISUNDERSTOOD OR WHATEVER, AND I WANT YOU TO HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO THIS WITHIN A TIME LIMIT, AND IT HAS TO BE VERY ACTIVE VERY QUICKLY.

WITHOUT PROGRESS, YOU LEAVE US NO CHOICE, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.

YES. AS LONG AS WAYNE CAN CAN GUIDE ME AND TELL ME EXACTLY.

HE'S VERY GOOD AT THAT. DONE IN THOSE 90 DAYS, THEN YES.

I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE TIMELINE. SO YOU'RE THE ONE THAT DID THE TIMELINE? YES. AND I WAS AGAIN, JUST FOCUSING ON WHAT THE HOUSE LOOKED LIKE ON THE OUTSIDE, LIKE THE PROBLEMS HE HAD POINTED OUT.

I JUST AM CURIOUS ON HOW MUCH TIME AND LIKE HOW THOUGHT OUT THIS WAS BECAUSE, FOR EXAMPLE, SUBMIT PLANS TO THE CITY ON JUNE 20TH, WHICH IS A SATURDAY.

I WAS JUST GIVING MYSELF FIVE DAYS FROM TODAY.

SO JUST EVERYTHING HAS TO BE EXTREMELY THOUGHTFUL.

AND I THINK I MEAN, YOU REALLY SYSTEMATIC WHEN YOU'RE DOING A REBUILD ON A HOUSE.

AND SO AND I AND I APPRECIATE WAYNE IS AMAZING TO WORK WITH, BUT HE'S NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO HANDHOLD.

SO I WOULD IMAGINE YOUR DAD BEING A CONTRACTOR SHOULD KNOW THAT I START HERE, THEN I GO HERE, THEN I GO HERE.

SO YOU UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING? YES. OKAY. DO YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE OWNERS? HEARING NONE, WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT 4:30.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE UP HERE, WE DO HAVE THE CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING SUBSTANDARD CONDITION IF A STRUCTURE STRUCTURE SHALL BE CONSIDERED SUBSTANDARD, IF IT IS A CONDITION SUCH THAT IT FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THE MINIMUM STANDARDS SET FORTH IN THE CITY'S ORDINANCES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE STANDARDS SET FORTH IN THIS CHAPTER SPECIFYING MINIMUM PROPERTY STANDARDS.

THERE ARE LOADS OF PATHS THAT ARE THAT ARE COMPROMISED.

THERE IS ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING ISSUES THAT ARE THROUGHOUT THE PROPERTY.

SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ESTABLISH WITH THESE PICTURES.

YOU'VE GOT SOME ADDITIONAL PICTURES. AND IN THE HANDOUT THAT YOU HAVE THERE ALSO SUCH CONDITION EXISTS TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LIFE, HEALTH, PROPERTY OR SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC OR ITS OCCUPANTS ARE ENDANGERED.

AND SO AT THAT I'LL LEAVE IT WITH THE COMMISSION.

AGAIN, WE WILL HAVE TWO SEPARATE ACTIONS TAKEN HERE.

THE FIRST WILL JUST BE TO DETERMINE THE THE IF THE PROPERTY IS SUBSTANDARD OR NOT, AND I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

I MAKE A MOTION TO, I GUESS, CATEGORIZE IT AS A SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE FOR 302 SOUTH LANE.

WE HAVE A MOTION FROM KATRINA. AND A SECOND FROM DANNY.

ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE. AYE. ANY OPPOSED? HEARING NONE, THE PROPERTY IS DESIGNATED AS SUBSTANDARD.

MOVING ON TO OUR TIME FRAME, WOULD WE LIKE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON WHAT WE THINK IS APPROPRIATE? YEAH, I JUST, YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE'S BEEN MOVEMENT ON IT.

I KNOW THAT IT'S DRUG OUT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO SEE HOUSES JUST ABANDONED AND TORN DOWN EITHER.

SO I THINK WHAT, WHAT OUR OPTIONS ARE FOR NOW IS TO, TO PUT THE 90 DAY RESTRICTION ON IT.

BUT THEN AS LONG AS WE SEE REAL PROGRESS, I'M WITH YOU.

I DON'T THINK THAT THIS SCHEDULE IS IS GOING TO CUT IT.

BUT IF 60 DAYS FROM NOW IT'S REALLY MOVING ALONG WELL, OKAY, I'D RATHER SEE IT MOVED ALONG.

AND I FEEL LIKE THAT'S BEEN MADE CLEAR TO THE OWNER THE SERIOUSNESS OF FALLING THROUGH.

BUT, YOU KNOW, TO ME, IT'S A GOOD START. AND I THINK UNLESS WE GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY, YOU KNOW, WE WON'T KNOW. SO. AND THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED A SCHEDULE.

YES. THERE'S THERE'S SOME FLAWS IN THERE ON THIS.

BUT BUT WE DO HAVE SOMETHING TO BE ABLE TO BENCHMARK THIS BY.

YEAH. IT'S AN ATTEMPT TO, TO TRY. SURE. BUT IF WE COME ALONG, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE'VE GOT A PERMIT APPLICATION THAT'S THAT THEY'RE SAYING THEY'LL HAVE THEIR PERMIT APPLICATION IN BY JUNE 20TH. WELL, I SAY THAT THAT WENT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.

AND YOU KNOW, I'M NOT I'M NOT LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE TO GO IN AND TEAR THIS BUILDING DOWN.

BUT THE 90 DAYS GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY. IF NOTHING HAPPENS IN THREE MONTHS, IF YOU HAVE PERMITTING PROBLEMS.

[00:40:03]

OKAY. THAT'S FINE. AT LEAST WE'RE WORKING. BUT IT GIVES US THE ABILITY TO SAY, IT'S BEEN THREE MONTHS.

NOTHING'S HAPPENED. YEAH. IF YOU DON'T IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ACTION ON IT WITHIN THE 60 DAYS OR 30 DAYS.

AND WE'LL PROVIDE YOU UPDATES ALONG THE WAY AND WHAT OUR PROPOSAL IS FOR THE NEXT MEETING.

YOU KNOW, DEPENDING ON WHAT WHAT ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN DURING THAT TIME.

ONCE WE REACH THAT 90 DAY TIME FRAME, SAY WE'RE NOT QUITE WHERE WE NEED TO BE.

WE'RE A LITTLE BEHIND AS WE THINK WE MIGHT BE ON THE SCHEDULE.

WE CAN ALWAYS EXTEND THAT TIME FRAME FOR THE COMPLETION PAST THAT 90 DAYS AT THAT POINT.

ABSOLUTELY. PERFECT. THANK YOU. THAT'S TRUE. I, I'M SOMEWHAT CONCERNED ABOUT SAYING, WELL, YOU KNOW, IF THEY DON'T GET IT ON TIME, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT TYPE OF APPROACH.

I THINK THEY NEED A REASONABLE SCHEDULE BASED ON THIS HISTORY AND THAT THEY NEED TO BE HELD TO THE DEADLINES.

AND IF THEY DON'T MEET THE DEADLINES, AND THAT NEEDS TO BE REPORTED BACK TO THE BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION.

SURE. AND WE CAN TAKE THE SUBMIT THE MILESTONES THAT THEY HAVE HERE AND BASE IT OFF OF THAT.

THIS THIS COMMISSION ONLY MEETS ONCE A MONTH.

AND SO IT'S GOING TO BE THE MIDDLE OF JULY, SOMEWHERE AROUND THE 15TH OR 18TH OF JULY.

IT WOULD BE THE NEXT BUILDING STANDARDS MEETING.

BY THAT POINT WE SHOULD HAVE SOME WE SHOULD BE AT THE POINT WHERE WE'RE AT LEAST ABLE TO START STRUCTURAL REPAIRS.

WHERE YOU HAVE PERMITS IN PLACE OR APPLIED FOR PERMIT IN PLACE ON SOMETHING ON THAT.

AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO REPORT AT THAT TIME.

IF WE SHOW BACK UP HERE AND THEY'VE EXCEEDED THAT, THEN THAT'S GREAT.

IF IF THEY'VE FALLEN SHORT OF THAT, BUT HEY, THEY HAVE PERMIT APPLICATIONS IN PLACE AND WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THIS OR THIS IS WHERE THE SITUATION IS. THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR. BUT IT DOES GIVE US A TARGET TO SHOOT FOR.

OKAY. LET ME ASK THIS. HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WILL TAKE THE PERMITTING TO HAPPEN? I'M. I'M JUST BLESSED WITH IGNORANCE HERE.

BUT REALISTICALLY, HOW LONG ARE WE LOOKING AT FOR PERMITTING.

DEPENDING AS FAR AS OUR SITE, THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT SIDE OF THIS ONCE IT'S SUBMITTED WE WILL ACT ON THAT WITHIN TEN DAYS. NOW WHETHER THERE'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT'S NEEDED OFF OF THAT.

AND THERE'S WHERE THE GRAY AREA COMES IN IS ONCE WE PROVIDE THEM THAT INFORMATION, WE NEED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

I CAN'T SPEAK FOR HOW QUICKLY THE APPLICANT GETS THE INFORMATION BACK TO US.

THAT'S USUALLY OUR STALLING POINT IS, HEY, WE NEED THIS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

WELL, IT GETS PUSHED TO THE SIDE, OR IT TAKES SOME TIME FOR THEM TO GET IT BACK TO US.

IT IS REASONABLE THAT THEY COULD HAVE A PERMIT NOT BY THE 20TH, BUT BY JULY 1ST.

SO NEXT MEETING WITH US, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO REPORT BACK THAT THEY HAVE PERMITS.

THEY HAVE THEIR CONTRACTORS IN LINE AND THEY'RE PROCEEDING TO MOVE FORWARD.

YES. SO THAT GIVES THEM 30 DAYS, I BELIEVE, OR 33 DAYS, IF I'M CORRECT.

JULY 20TH IS THE NEXT BUILDING STANDARD. OKAY.

SO WHAT IS THAT, 35 DAYS? ANYWAY. FOR THEM TO HAVE THAT PERMIT PROCESS IN PLACE AND CONTRACTORS LINED UP TO DO THAT. BUT DOING THIS MOTION HERE, IT GIVES THEM 90 DAYS.

CAN WE WRITE THAT IN OR CAN WE DO SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE OR NO? YES. YOU CERTAINLY CAN PROVIDE THE SPECIFICITY THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR WITHIN THE 90 DAY PERIOD.

OKAY. SO I WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT THAT INTO THEIR OF THAT.

THEY HAVE A 30, BY NEXT BOARD MEETING, AND I BELIEVE IT'S 35 DAYS IF MY MATH IS CORRECT.

BUT ANYWAY OR MAYBE, BUT THAT THEY HAVE TO HAVE THOSE PERMITS CONTRACTORS AND, AND PERMITS PLANNED FOR THIS PROJECT TO MOVE FORWARD. SO YOU'RE CREATING A SPECIFICATION WITHIN OPTION THREE IS WHAT I'M UNDERSTANDING YOU'RE GOING WITH THE. NO, NO, IT WOULD BE OPTION TWO WOULDN'T IT?

[00:45:01]

NUMBER TWO THAT YOU'RE GRANTING 90 DAYS. AND BY THE NEXT BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION MEETING, THEY WILL HAVE PERMITS APPROVED AND CONTRACTORS SECURED.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

I THINK THAT'S REASONABLE. SO CAN WE. WE CAN ADD THAT IN TO THAT.

OPTION TWO IS EVERYBODY IN AGREEANCE WITH THAT.

THAT WAY WE GET THEM MOVING WITH IT BASED OFF THE HISTORY.

I WOULD ACCEPT THAT AS A MOTION AS A MOTION OPTION TWO WITH THAT STIPULATION OF BY NEXT BOARD MEETING THAT THEY HAVE THEIR PERMITS IN PLACE. I HAVE A MOTION FROM JOE. SECOND. I HAVE A SECOND FROM KATRINA.

ALL IN FAVOR TO PASS OPTION TWO AND ALLOW 90 DAYS WITH THE STIPULATION.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. ANY OPPOSED? HEARING NONE, THIS ITEM PASSES.

LET ME ASK ONE MORE QUESTION. CAN WE GET VISUAL UPDATES ON THIS PROJECT? YES. OKAY. YES. I MEAN, WE CAN TAKE SOME SIMPLIFIED.

A PICTURE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS. IF. IF I SEE PROGRESS, I'M HAPPY.

SURE THING. WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE SOME PICTURES ALONG THE WAY AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE INCORPORATED IN WITH THE REPORT BACK TO THE COMMISSION.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDING EVERYTHING? OKAY. GOOD LUCK. YEAH. GOOD LUCK. MOVING ON TO ACTION ITEM THREE

[III.3. The Commission to receive updates, consider and take action on an order of demolition on the property owned by Kamy Real Property Trust located at 300 South Houston Street City of Decatur, Wise County, Texas also described as Block 50 Tarleton Addition, that was deemed substandard by the commission on May 18, 2026, and given 30 days to repair, remove or demolish the building and to secure the structure until the property is brough into compliance. Staff is requesting that an order of demolition be issued. (Code Case #3498) ]

ON 300 SOUTH HOUSTON STREET IN DECATUR, TEXAS.

MR. DENNY, WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR US? OKAY. 300 SOUTH HOUSTON STREET. THE PROPERTY PRESENTED TO THE BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION ON MAY 18TH, 2026, IS A SUBSTANDARD STRUCTURE. BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION HELD A PUBLIC HEARING, DETERMINED THE STRUCTURE IS SUBSTANDARD.

THE BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION ORDERED THAT THE STRUCTURE REPAIRED, REMOVED OR DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS.

NOTIFICATION OF THE ORDER WAS SENT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER.

ON JUNE 15TH, 2026 IS A 28 DAY SINCE THE ORDER WAS GIVEN, FALLING SHORT OF THE 30 DAY TIME FRAME.

SO JUST TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE, WE'RE STILL A LITTLE BIT SHORT OF THE 30 DAYS THAT WAS ALLOWED.

SO WE'LL BE BRINGING THAT BACK FOR THE NEXT MEETING.

I DID TALK TO THE, THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.

HE SAID HE'S OWNED THE PROPERTY FOR AROUND. THIS IS JUST MY CONVERSATION WITH HIM FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 YEARS.

HE SAID THAT WHEN HE GOT THE PROPERTY, THE CITY TOLD HIM HE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING ON TAKING CARE OF THAT STRUCTURE AS LONG AS HE KEPT THE GRASS MOWED.

15 YEARS, THIS THING HAS DETERIORATED AND IT'S CONTINUALLY GOT WORSE.

SO NOW IT'S I MEAN, IT'S JUST IT'S FALLEN DOWN AND IT'S REALLY UNSAFE THE WAY IT IS NOW.

HE WANTED ME TO PRESENT TO Y'ALL, WHICH I WON'T PRESENT ON MY BEHALF, BUT I DID TELL HIM I WOULD PASS IT ON TO Y'ALL.

HE WANTED US TO PUSH IT BACK TILL AUGUST SO THAT HE COULD TRY TO SELL THE PROPERTY.

IF WE DO THAT, WE'RE GOING TO JUST PASS THE PROPERTY OF THIS STRUCTURE ONTO SOMEBODY ELSE.

SO WHEN WE COME BACK TO THE NEXT MEETING, WE'LL WE'LL DISCUSS THAT AND SEE WHERE WE STAND.

AND WE'RE GOING TO WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE SOME KIND OF ACTION ON IT.

THE HOUSE, I, I MEAN, IT'S JUST FALLEN DOWN SO BAD NOW.

THERE'S NO WAY THAT IT CAN BE REPAIRED I DON'T BELIEVE.

BUT BUT WE HAVE TO WAIT OUR 30 DAYS BEFORE WE PROCEED WITH IT.

DO YOU KNOW IF THAT PROPERTY HAS BEEN LISTED FOR SALE ALREADY? I DO NOT KNOW THAT. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY INDICATION OF THAT, BUT I'M NOT SURE.

I KNOW THAT THE OWNER OWNS MULTIPLE PROPERTIES IN WISE COUNTY AND USUALLY HANGS ON TO THOSE PROPERTIES FOR A WHILE.

BUT WE'VE ALSO GOT THE TWO OTHER STRUCTURES THAT ARE UP BACK TO THE SHED THAT ARE IN THE BACK THAT ARE FALLING DOWN AS WELL.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CLEAN THE, THAT WHEN WE DO THAT, IF IT COMES TO A DEMO THAT ALL THOSE THINGS ARE REMOVED WITH THE HOUSE.

AND IT'S NOT SECURED OR ANYTHING TO KEEP IT ON THE OUT IN THEIR SUMMERTIME AND ALL.

AND THAT'S WHAT SCARES ME IS, YES, THE CHILDREN GOING IN THERE, HEY, WE GOT US A FORT AND.

THE FRONT DOOR NOW IS ACTUALLY. THAT'S ALL THEY HAVE FOR THE DOOR WITH BRICKS HOLDING IT SHUT SO IT'S NOT SECURED.

[00:50:08]

THE. THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY HAS WELL, [INAUDIBLE] HIS BUSINESS HAS GOT THE CERTIFIED LETTERS WE'VE MAILED.

THEY'VE SIGNED THEM AND SENT THEM BACK. SO THEY'VE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THEY'VE RECEIVED THESE LETTERS. WHEN HE CALLED ME THE OTHER DAY, HE SAID HE HADN'T HE WASN'T AWARE OF IT. HE HADN'T SEEN ANY OF THE LETTERS.

BUT HE DID GET THE LETTER WHEN HE SAID THAT WE WERE COMING BEFORE THE BUILDING STANDARDS WITH IT.

SO. BUT WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING TILL JULY. YES, SIR.

OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS PROPERTY HERE? I WILL SAY WE CAN SECURE THE PROPERTY AND AS MUCH AS WE CAN. THE CITY CAN DO THIS. WE CAN WE CAN BOARD UP THE OPENINGS ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN KEEP. WE COULD SECURE THE PROPERTY COMPLETELY.

[INAUDIBLE] I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE BULLDOZED RIGHT NOW. BUT WE WE WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ON THAT TILL JULY.

SO. COMMISSIONER. I'M JUST INFORMED ME THAT YOU CAN REQUEST A SPECIAL MEETING TO COINCIDE WITH THE 30 DAY NOTIFICATION THAT'S ON THIS, SO THAT WE COULD ISSUE THAT ORDER OF DEMOLITION AT THAT TIME.

IT'S NOT REQUIRED. THE PROBLEM IS THE TIME PERIOD.

OUR MEETING FELL SHORT OF 30 DAYS. SO IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS PROPERTY BECAUSE OF ITS DANGEROUS NATURE, YOU COULD HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME BACK HERE ON THE DATE THE SPECIAL MEETING IS SET IN ORDER TO TAKE CARE OF THE BUSINESS OF YOUR COMMISSION.

DO YOU WANT TO WAIT UNTIL JULY 20TH, OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME BACK FOR A SPECIAL MEETING? CAN WE NOT VOTE TODAY TO DEMOLISH? NO, IT'S NOT 30 DAYS.

IT HAS TO BE AFTER THE 30 DAYS. YES. WE HAVE NO CHOICE.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES, CAN WE BACK THERE? GO THROUGH SOME PICTURES HERE, PLEASE? OKAY. THIS IS WHAT CONCERNS ME.

THIS. AND WE HAVE SOME OTHER PICTURES OF THE INSIDE OR SOMETHING THERE.

OKAY. I JUST THAT'S A BIG CONCERN. IT'S SUMMERTIME AND THIS IS ON HOUSTON STREET AND THERE'S CHILDREN OVER THERE AND THAT THAT THAT BOTHERS ME.

THIS, THIS PICTURE HERE, I MEAN, AND, AND, YOU KNOW, THEN KIDS, YOU KNOW, THEY'LL, THEY'LL TRY TO RAISE THAT WINDOW EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN GO THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR, THEY'LL THROW A BRICK THROUGH THAT IF THERE'S GLASS THERE. OH IT'S COOL. BROKE THE GLASS. LET'S GO SEE WHAT IT DID. YOU KNOW, AND THEN THEY'RE IN THERE AND AND THEY START MOVING STUFF AROUND AND BOOM, THAT WHOLE THING FALLS IN ON THEM.

LOOK AT THE ROOF ON THEM. WHENEVER YOU GO UP TO THE ROOF PICTURES.

I MEAN, IT'S IT'S IN BAD SHAPE. BAD, BAD. LOOK AT THAT.

AND YEAH, I MEAN, IF WE NEED TO HOLD A SPECIAL MEETING TO.

BUT HOW FAST CAN WE BULLDOZE IT? 30 DAYS. AT LEAST FOUR DAYS.

FOUR DAYS. YEAH. BECAUSE IT'S THREE BUSINESS, THREE BUSINESS DAYS.

AND YOU DON'T COUNT THE DAY YOU POST IN THAT THREE BUSINESS DAYS.

SO SO THEORETICALLY, IF WE HELD A SPECIAL MEETING ON FRIDAY, ORDERED DEMOLITION BY THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY, IT COULD BE DEMOED. YES. SO BEFORE 4TH OF JULY? YES. ALL IN FAVOR OF DOING A SPECIAL MEETING? FOR THIS, YOU NEED TO VERIFY THE DATE OF THE DELIVERY OF OF THE CERTIFIED LETTER.

OKAY. AND THEN. AND THEN COUNT OUT THE 30 DAYS FROM THERE.

I WE CAN WORK ON THAT. MATTER OF FACT, WHILE Y'ALL ARE DOING THAT, IS THAT NEW NEWSLETTER IN IN THERE? NO. WELL I'VE GOT, GOT IT. NOT IN THERE IN THE IN [INAUDIBLE] WAYNE ARE WE SURE OF OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY.

WE'RE CERTAIN? [INAUDIBLE] OKAY. FRIDAY BEING JUNETEENTH.

THAT DOES NOT IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO MEET HERE.

DOES IT. IT'S A CITY HOLIDAY. OKAY, SO THAT WILL IMPACT AND WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING THEN NEXT WEEK ON MONDAY,

[00:55:01]

IF THAT'S THE OPTION, WE DECIDE MONDAY IS A COUNCIL MEETING.

I WOULD ASK THE CITY MANAGER FOR THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS MEETING AT 3:00.

WE'RE WAY AHEAD OF THEM. WE'RE DONE BY 5:30. YEAH.

I THINK MAYBE AT 3:00 WE'RE EASY. YEAH, WE CAN DO MONDAY, 03:00, MONDAY THE I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT DATE IS.

JUNE 22ND. AND I BELIEVE WHAT YOU'RE DISCUSSING IS 3:00, 03:00.

YOU COULD I THINK YOUR MEETINGS ARE NORMALLY AT 3:30, BUT WHATEVER.

HOWEVER YOU WANT TO DO THAT THREE, THREE SPECIAL MEETING.

I MEAN, WE DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE OTHER DEALS.

CAN WE DO THAT AT [INAUDIBLE] OKAY. BUT HOW MANY WE GOT TO HAVE FOR A QUORUM? YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE THREE FOR QUORUM. LET ME SEE.

WE COULD DO IT MONDAY MORNING. YEAH. MONDAY MORNING. WHAT'S MORNING? NINE. 10:00. OKAY. OKAY. THAT'S NEXT MONDAY, RIGHT? OKAY. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT. ME, TOO.

OKAY. SO MONDAY. THE 22ND.

AT 9 A.M.. IS THAT ACCEPTABLE TO THE CITY? WAYNE AND ALL Y'ALL.

BECAUSE Y'ALL KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE HERE, TOO.

JUNE 4TH. IS THIS THE RIGHT ONE? HE RECEIVED THIS LETTER IT SIGNED FOR IT ON JUNE 4TH, 2026.

JUNE 4TH. IS THAT RIGHT? NO. I'M SORRY. HE HE RECEIVED IT JUNE 8TH.

WE'RE WHEN WE GOT IT. OH, IS THAT WHERE WE GOT IT BACK? I'M SORRY. WE CAN'T DO THAT AT THAT POINT. YEAH.

THAT'S OUT. YOU JUST MIGHT AS WELL. JUNE 4TH.

WAIT TILL JULY. YEAH. IT'S WHENEVER HE RECEIVED IT.

AND SIGNED FOR IT. THAT'S THAT'S WHEN THE, THE DENTON POST OFFICE STAMPED IT ON HERE.

SO WE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT. WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT TILL JULY 8TH TO DO ANYTHING ON IT.

AND IF YOU WAIT THAT LONG, MIGHT AS WELL JUST TABLE IT TILL JUNE, JULY 20TH, OR.

WE CAN IN THE MEANTIME, SECURE THOSE ENTRIES.

WE WE'LL HAVE TO BUY. WE CAN DO THAT. I MEAN, I JUST HAVE A CONCERN FOR THIS.

THE CITIZENS, ESPECIALLY THE CHILDREN. IT'S JUST IT'S SUMMERTIME AND KIDS ARE OUT EXPLORING AND DOING THINGS THAT ALL KIDS DO. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IN THE SHAPE THAT IT'S IN NOW.

WELL, HAVE THERE BEEN ANY TRESPASSING ON IT? WE HAD ANY DEALS OF THAT WHERE WE TRESPASSED, OR IF THE POLICE HAVE SAID ANYTHING TO YOU ABOUT ABOUT THAT.

I MEAN, THEY'VE HAD PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES TRESPASSING IN THERE FOR SURE.

BUT YOU KNOW, SO. OKAY. NEVER MIND. SEEING IS THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN ACTION ITEM SINCE WE ARE SHORT OF THE 30 DAYS, IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS AMONGST THE COMMISSION? HEARING NONE, WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS WHICH CONSIST OF OUR MAY 18TH, 2026 BUILDING STANDARDS MINUTES.

GETTING A LITTLE BIT AHEAD OF MYSELF. NUMBER FOUR.

DISCUSSION ITEM NUMBER ONE IS FOR 502 NORTH NEWARK STREET.

[IV.1. 502 N Newark St, staff has been in contact with the property owner and continues working with the owner to gain voluntary compliance. Structure has hazardous conditions; there has been no progress by the property owner to correct the conditions to date. The case is proposed to be on June 15, 2026, agenda for action if a resolution is not made. (Code Case #3347) ]

502 NORTH NEWARK. WE HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THE OWNER ON THAT.

NOTHING'S BEEN DONE THERE. SO STILL ON OUR LIST TO BRING BEFORE YOU, BUT WE JUST HAD SO MUCH NOW THAT IT'D BE TOO MUCH TO PUT ON ONE.

BUT WE STILL GOT THAT WAITING TO, TO GET IT IS BOARDED UP AND IT'S SECURED, BUT IT'S IN BAD NEED OF BEING A DEMO.

SO WE'LL BE BRINGING THAT BACK TO YOU. AT 204 WEST BRADY THEY'VE ACCEPTED THE CERTIFIED LETTERS THAT WE'VE SENT.

[IV.2. 204 W Brady St., during an investigation of a complaint, a substandard structure was found. The structure has a damaged roof, is unsecured, and violates several minimum standards defined by our ordinance. Staff has notified the owners by certified mail of dangerous and damaged construction on the property. No contact has been made by the property owners. We will continue to pursue notification; if no response is received, this will be brought before the BSC in July. (Code Case # 3492)]

THEY HAVEN'T REACHED OUT TO ME YET SINCE WE STARTED SENDING THOSE.

SO WITH NO COMMUNICATION WHATSOEVER, I KNOW THEY'VE GOT THE LETTERS BECAUSE THEY'VE SIGNED FOR THEM.

[01:00:04]

SO WE'LL BE BRINGING THAT BACK BEFORE Y'ALL AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT. SO THE THIRD ITEM IS THE COMMERCIAL INFILL POLICY DISCUSSION.

[IV.3. Informational presentation of Commercial Infill Policy. ]

WE CAN WE CAN AGAIN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THIS POLICY OR THE RESIDENTIAL POLICY THAT'S IN PLACE HERE.

I DON'T WANT TO RUN THROUGH EVERYTHING AGAIN.

I THINK EVERYBODY WAS IN THE ROOM WHEN WE DID THE PRESENTATION THE FIRST TIME.

BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THAT WE FEEL LIKE WILL BE VERY POPULAR AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND HELP FILL IN SOME OF THESE VACANT OR UNDERUTILIZED PROPERTIES THAT ARE OUT THERE. AND WE NOW HAVE A, WE WOULD HAVE A WE NOW HAVE A RESIDENTIAL POLICY, AND WE HOPE BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK THAT WE HAVE A COMMERCIAL POLICY IN PLACE.

BUT IF THERE'S ANY INPUT OR DISCUSSION ON THAT, HAPPY TO TO WORK THROUGH THAT.

ALL RIGHT. [INAUDIBLE] EARLIER ABOUT THE ONE THAT'S.
