AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Public hearing and consider Notice of Appeal of the Administrative Order by the Community Development Director determining the property located at 637 North Louisa as a public nuisance.
Mayor Harden declared a public hearing open to consider a Notice of Appeal by owner Helen Spriggs and Attorney Joseph McKimmey, of the Administrative Order entered on January 29, 1998 by Mr. Bill Colclasure, Community Development Director, determining property at 637 North Louisa a public nuisance.
Mayor Harden asked if there were any persons who wished to be heard regarding said property. Mr. Joseph McKimmey, attorney representing the owner, appeared before the Commission to appeal to the Commission not to demolish the house.
Mr. McKimmey first indicated that he was disappointed with the hearing process, especially since the City Inspector was not present at the hearing to report his findings and the only evidence presented were some pictures and a checklist stating the structure shall be razed and removed.
It was his request that the City Commission void the Order and allow the owner to return to the property.
There being no others to appear regarding said issue, Mayor Harden declared the public hearing closed.
The Mayor then called upon city staff member Bill Colclasure, Administrative Hearing Officer and Community Development Director, to give his staff report.
Mr. Colclasure reassured the Commission that staff followed the legal process and sufficient time and proper notification was given to the property owner.
He noted that the structure had many code violations such as front yard sewage, windows in disrepair, the foundation in need of repair and a recent flash fire.
He further advised that after investigating more into the situation after he had already given the Order, he had reconsidered his Order to demolish the structure. He advised that the building was reparable and he recommended that the owner obtain a building permit to bring the structure up to Code and then the structure could be occupied.
After much discussion about the property situation, the following motion was made.
A motion was made by Commissioner Davis, seconded by Commissioner Downing, that the Administrative Order of January 29, 1998 declaring property at 627 North Louisa a public nuisance, be rescinded; and direct staff to re-exam the property and schedule a new administrative hearing to determine if the property is a public nuisance. Motion carried.
AYE: Davis, Downing, Snider, Gillham, Young, Harden
NAY: None
