Wilmore <br /> <br />Source of Funds: General Funds <br /> <br />Department: <br /> <br />Planning <br /> <br />Account Number: #001-9092-524-6021 <br /> <br />Report: X Resolution: <br /> <br />Ordinance: <br /> <br />X <br /> <br />Amount Budgeted: $45,658.00 <br /> <br />Exhibits: Inspection Report <br /> <br />Amount Requested: <br /> <br />Exhibits: Condemnation Ordinance <br /> <br />Budgeted Item: YES NO <br /> <br />Exhibits Photo Presentation <br /> <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The August 10,2009, October 12,2009, December 14,2009 and January 25,2010 public hearing for 401 N.6th <br />Street was continued until March 08, 2010. Subsequent to the first public hearing meeting, legal notices, in <br />accordance with Article VIII; Section 82-475 of the Code of Ordinances, were provided to the structure owner. The <br />individual attended each public hearing and was aware of the continuances granted by Council. Staff also sent <br />meeting reminder letters. <br /> <br />A February 23,2010 site visit to 401 N. 6th Street showed no change. Also, on the same date, we spoke with the <br />owner (Mary Riley) by phone and she informed staff that a representative from the Harris County Home Repair <br />Program advised her that they are unable to assist her in the repair of the home. <br /> <br />The purpose of this public hearing is to receive property owner, citizen and staff comments as to why the structure <br />should or should not be condemned and demolished. Following the close of the hearing, Council will be asked to <br />consider condemnation of the structure. <br /> <br />The structure was damaged by a fire in October 2005 and while the Dangerous Building Inspections Board is aware <br />of Ms. Riley's recent efforts, the County's decision not to assist with repairs is significant. Since funding has not <br />been secured and the structure remains a public nuisance, staff recommends condemnation of the structure at 401 <br />N. 6th Street. <br /> <br /> <br />~(~ <br /> <br />Date <br />
