Following that review, staff requested and was granted a public hearing date of August 23, 2004. Following the close of the public hearing, seven (7) of the ten (10) structures considered were condemned. The remaining three (3) structures were tabled and were to be addressed sepamtely. Two of the three structures were tabled for thirty (30) days with the remaining one tabled for ninety (90) days. The two (2) tabled for thirty (30) days and are now ready for Council consideration. Their addresses were 501 So. 4th (residential accessory building) and 10910 N. L Street (single family dwelling). As of 09-16-04, both structures remain unchanged. On the property known as 501 So. 4lh, staff has not had any response from the property owner shown on the Harris County Appraisal District or the quitclaim deed. At the time it was tabled, Council asked the legal department to research what affect, if any, results from church ownership of the accessory building. Staff has had conversations with the attorney representing the current heirs and has met with the proposed owners regarding 10910 N. L Street. When staff met with the proposed owners, they concur the existing structure needed to be demolished. As of 09-17-04, the proposed buyer advised us that the proposed sale will probably occur around mid..()ctober anticipating the demolition of the structure prior to the new owners closing on the property. The Board (Chief Building Official, Fire Marshal and Fire Oriet) supports our original findings and unanimously recommend both substandard structures be condemned and demolished. Action Reauired bv Council: Consider passing ordinances condemning each of the two (2) substandard structures. Aooroved for Citv Council Aeenda ri~~~~~ Cf -- ~~ -b f Date
