1.REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM CATHERINE A. THOMAS, <br /> <br />ST <br />FLORIDA RIDGE, REGARDING 2133 S.E. 1 COURT <br /> <br />nd <br />Catherine Thomas <br />, 2109 SE 2 Avenue, asked the Board to make a final decision <br />st <br />to demolish the old house at 2133 SE 1 Court. Ms. Thomas showed pictures depicting deplorable <br />conditions existing on the property. She outlined numerous problems associated with the structure <br />and asked the Board not to let this become another “Barton” issue. She urged the Board not to <br />extend the work permit but to issue a stop order and vote “yes” for demolition of the property. <br /> <br />Building Official James “Buddy” Akins, informed the Board that he conducted an <br />inspection yesterday and found windows, roof, floor plan, among other things, to be in <br />compliance. However there were other matters that have to be addressed such as construction <br />debris scattered over the site. <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lowther, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Davis, for discussion, to <br />continue the demolition process. <br /> <br />Mr. Akins, in response to Commissioner Davis’ question, …”What’s your <br />recommendation”, recommended that they follow the demolition requirements that were set out on <br />August 17, 2006. Discussion ensued regarding how long the demolition process would take if they <br />decided to go that way. <br /> <br />In response to questions from Commissioner Davis, County Attorney Collins <br />provided legal opinion on what “they” could do legally to stop the demolition from going forward, <br />as well as how to proceed, whether with demolition or extend the permit to complete the <br />renovations. Discussion ensued on whether the house could be completed in 60 days. <br />November 14, 2006 <br />17 <br /> <br />
