i COMMISSIONER DEESON REPORTED IN REGARD TO USE OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF WINTER BEACH AS A POLLING PLACE, THAT THEY SEEM TO FEEL THERE IS SOME POSSIBILITY OF A PROBLEM WITH PARKING AND IN CONNECTION WITH A RAMP FOR WHEELCHAIRS. HE STATED THAT WE HAVE BEEN REQUESTED TO CONTACT THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DEACONS IN THIS REGARD ROSEMARY RICHEY, SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS, NOTED THAT THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 400 VOTERS IN THIS DISTRICT AND SHE DID NOT FEEL THERE WOULD BE MUCH PROBLEM WITH PARKING, BUT STATED THAT SHE WILL CONTACT THE -BOARD OF DEACONS AS REQUESTED. COMMISSIONER LOY DISCUSSED HAVING A SPECIFIC AGREEMENT FOR THE USE OF THE VARIOUS POLLING PLACES, WHICH WAS BROUGHT UP SOME TIME AGO. ATTORNEY COLLINS WILL RESEARCH THIS MATTER. ATTORNEY COLLINS REPORTED TO THE BOARD THAT OVER THE LAST YEAR HIS OFFICE AND THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT HAVE BEEN SENDING OUT NOTICES TO OWNERS OF DILAPIDATED STRUCTURES REQUESTING DEMOLITION BECAUSE OF HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. IN SOME CASES, TWO OR THREE LETTERS .HAVE BEEN SENT TO THE OWNERS, HE NOTED THAT THEY NOW HAVE 16 ACTIVE CASES WHERE OWNERS HAVE REFUSED TO TAKE ANY ACTION AFTER BEING GIVEN NOTICE. ATTORNEY COLLINS CONTINUED THAT THE ORDINANCE DOES NOT REQUIRE A PUBLIC HEARING PRIOR TO DEMOLITION, BUT HE FELT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO SEND ONE MORE NOTICE TO THESE PEOPLE, HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING, AND GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO STATE ANY REASONS THE STRUCTURES SHOULD NOT BE DEMOLISHED, AND THEN PROCEED WITH DEMO- LITION, IF JUSTIFIED. ZONING DIRECTOR TALKER CONCURRED, AND INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THEY HAVE BEEN NOTIFYING THESE PEOPLE BY CERTIFIED MAIL SO THEY CANNOT CLAIM THEY NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTICE. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE ATTORNEY TO ADVERTISE A PUBLIC HEARING RE DEMOLITION OF THE 16 DILAPIDATED STRUCTURES FOR THE SECOND MEETING IN .TUNE. 35 BOOK 35 PAGE 35
