ANALYSIS: <br /> a <br /> The subject structures have been vacant for a considerable time. During that time, the <br /> buildings have continued to deteriorate and have been frequented by vandals and <br /> transients. Not only have the owners failed to maintain the structures in compliance with <br /> the Minimum Standard Codes, they have failed to bring the structures into compliance as <br /> required by posted notice. Since the owners have not filed an appeal to the condemnation <br /> order, the county may now proceed with demolition of the structures and with assessing a <br /> lien against the property for demolition and removal. Recent County demolition <br /> contracts have averaged $4.175 per structure. <br /> The County Attorney's Office has reviewed the title reports on these three parcels and <br /> found no encumbrances (i.e. mortgages, liens) other than code enforcement liens or tax <br /> certificates from unpaid taxes. <br /> FUNDING <br /> Funding in the amount of$12,525.00 (3 x $4,175) for the demolition and removal of the <br /> three (3) unsafe structures is available in the MSTU Fund/Reserve for Contingency. <br /> After demolition bids are received and a demolition contract is awarded, a budget <br /> amendment will need to be processed to move those funds to the MSTU/Road & <br /> Bridge/Other Contractual Services- Account # 00421441-033490. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioner's declare the referenced <br /> structures unsafe and a nuisance and order the buildings demolished, with related debris <br /> removed from the property by a private vendor approved through standard bid <br /> procedures. <br /> Staff further recommends that the Board adopt the attached resolution authorizing the <br /> Building Official to report the county's demolition and debris removal cost for said <br /> structures to the County Attorney for the preparation and recording of a lien to be placed <br /> on the real property of the owners of the demolished unsafe structures for the purpose of <br /> recovering the County's demolition costs. <br /> Indian River <br /> APPROVED AGENDA ITEM: CD, Approved <br /> Admin. 3 ' <br /> BY: <br /> FOR: March 11, 2014 Budget <br /> Dept. �z�liy <br /> Risk N1gr. <br /> 1lfileserver2lpublic\Community Development`,BUILDIN&BCC Agendas103.1 1.14.doc <br /> 119 <br />
