In addition, <br />staff is requesting direction from Council in regards to permit waivers, permit fee waivers and the use of code <br />enforcement action to achieve home/roof repairs. <br /> <br />There were (57) homes declared substantially damaged. As noted in the attached report: (13) homes remain on the <br />"SD" list; (1) home was elevated and is being repaired; (20) homes are in the demolition process [demolition is <br />complete on 16 of the 20 homes) and (23) homes were reevaluated and became non-substantially damaged (NSD). <br />In addition, there were a total of (481) NSD homes that were identified as to having post Ike damage. <br /> <br />At this time, we are still waiving the "permit requirement for fences and roofs". Also, we are still waiving "permit <br />fees" for Ike related repairs. Staff spoke with area cities to determine what they are doing. Baytown stopped <br />waiving permit fees on June 1 SI; Seabrook never waived permit fees; Pasadena stopped waiving permit fees on <br />June 1 sl and League City stopped waiving permit fees on January 1 st. <br /> <br />Currently, we are "not" addressing homes that have a properly installed/maintained blue roof. We have spoken with <br />owners about re-securing or replacing tarps that have worn down or become loose. The same (4) areas cities noted <br />above have indicated that there is not a date set to begin utilizing code enforcement to address "blue roofs". <br /> <br />Action Required bv Council: <br /> <br />ovide staff with direction regarding permit waivers, permit fee waivers and the use of code enforcement action to <br />ac . eve home/roof repairs. <br /> <br /> <br />
