The canopy sags in some areas as exhibited <br />in photo #G. Some of the sag results from rotting of the supporting <br />beam shown in photo #7. There is a missing column as shown i <br />Photo #8 and an inappropriate sized beam as shown in photo #J. <br />There are no hurricane anchors on the walkway roof structure which <br />is contrary t0 --the present code. <br />Rather than to describe each unit separately,I will define some <br />typical problems common to all units in varying degrees. <br />There is evidence of termites in roof structures. In photo #10 <br />it is apparent that termite damage is excessive. In some areas <br />it is obvious that the roof leaks in numerous places. Furthermore, <br />there was no evidence of any insulation in existence; current <br />energy codes require some form of insulation. <br />Photo #11 exhibits the inaccessibility to the bathroom by the <br />handicapped. There are no grab bars, the door is 2 ft. wide, and <br />there is not enough room for a wheel chair to maneuver. <br />Electrically the units are not up to code as the distribution panel, <br />shown in photo #12, is of the fuse type _instead of the breaker <br />type currently required. Photo #x`13 extlibits wiring that is not in <br />conduit. This photo also shotes tile. absense of a roof, a condition <br />existingin several units. <br />The windows that are still in Place -are in a bad state of repair <br />(see photo #14) and of the jalousie type which will not meet the <br />current energy code due to the high air infiltration rates. Most <br />of the doors, as in photo #15, are similar to the windows in that <br />they fail to meet energy code requirements. <br />Some of the units have gas wall heaters which are beyond the state <br />of repair. (see photo .#16) <br />In the center lobby a portion of the roof load is being supported <br />by an aluminum frame. In photo #17 there is a stress crack in the <br />glass due to improper structural support. <br />Photo #18 shows what will be called the storage building for this <br />report. The shed roof is constructed with 2 by 4's which are too <br />small for the span as exhibited by the deflection shown in photo <br />#19. Inside the storage building there has been a fire which <br />completely severed the two roof joists shown in photo #20. <br />In my general inspection of the site, nowhere was there evidence <br />of either a water treatment plant or a sewer treatment plant. Under <br />current regulations, for a motel, both of the above items would <br />be required. I have to assume that the facility is on a septic'' <br />tank system and a private water supply. <br />It is obvious from photos #1 and #2 that the project would not <br />comply with currant landscape ordinances. <br />MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER BIRD, SECONDED BY COMMIS - <br />STONER SCURLOCK, THAT THE ATTORNEY AND THE ADMINISTRATOR BE DIRECTED <br />TO PURSUE THE DEMOLITION OF THE HAZARDOUS STRUCTURE KNOWN AS HIGHLAND <br />MOTEL AND THAT THE OWNER BE SO NOTIFIED. <br />JAN 28 1981 57 80ox 5 -PavE'f2J <br />
