1424 West Walnut
/ CASE NO. 89-3002
PRESENTED BY:
Dany R. Nolfo
Dany R. Nolfo presented photographs and background information for the
Board's review. Don Hesterley explained that Mr. Hobart had come in to
the office on January 25, 1990 and expressed the wish to rehabilitate
and asked to pull new rehab permits. It was recommended to him at that
time to wait until the case was reviewed by the BBC.
Staff's recommendation
to adopt an order that the owner(s) shall obtain a Demolition Permit
and demolish the building(s) located at this address within sixty (60)
days. Ir the building is not demolished within the prescribed period
of time, the building(s) will be demolished by the City and to incur
all current and future costs in the form of a lien against the property
or a personal obligation of the owner(s).
CURRENT COSTS:
$ 335.65
commissioner Pollock asked if there was anyone present to testify on
behalf of the subject property. Ken Hobart was present to testify. He
stated he would like to rehabilitate the building and asked that the
costs be dropped so he could afford to pull permits. He said he was
gone for five (5) months on a long vacation last year, and that was why
he had not done anything after pulling permits to rehabilitate.
commissioner Pollock asked Mr. Hobart if he had pulled permits for the
rehabilitation work done in 1988. Commissioner pensiero asked how much
more time would be needed to complete the rehabilitation of the
building. Mr. Hobart answered that he had pulled the permits before
and that if he is allowed to pull new permits, it will take him 60 days
to complete the work. He stated he had done some work after pulling
the first permit, but thought he wasn't supposed to call for anv
inspections until after all work was completed.
Commissioner Lord made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Hunt, to
adopt an order that the owner(s) shall obtain a Rehabilitation Permit
within ten (10) days and to complete the rehabilitation of the building
within sixty (60) days, and that if this is not done in the prescribed
time, that the owner(s) shall obtain a Demolition Permit and demolish
the building(s) located at this address within sixty (60) days. If the
building is not demolished within the prescribed period of time, the
building(s) will be demolished by the City, and to incur all current
and future costs in the form of a lien against the property or a
personal obligation of the owner(s).
