Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final July 18, 2017 referenced structures unsafe and a nuisance and order the buildings demolished, with related debris removed from the property by a private vendor approved through standard bid procedures. Staff further recommends that the Board adopt the resolution authorizing the Building Official to report the county's demolition and debris removal cost for said structures to the County Attorney for the preparation and recording of a lien to be placed on the real property of the owners of the demolished unsafe structures for the purpose of recovering the County's demolition costs. Attachments: Staff Report Resolution Condemnation List Pictures of Unsafe Structures Minutes from November 15, 2016 BCC Meeting Building Official Scott McAdam, in his PowerPoint Presentation, provided an overview of the properties proposed for condemnation and demolition. He stated that staffs recommendation was to remove the third property which is located at 4345, 4355 & 4365 28th Avenue (considered one property), from the condemnation list, pursuant to the request from Jeffre Berman, Manager of Forty Fourth Associates, LLC, the property's owner. Mr. Berman has asked for a continuance to give him an opportunity to address staffs concerns, and to bring the two structures on the property up to code. Commissioner Solari stated that it is quite clear that due to the extent of the deterioration, nothing can realistically be done to restore this building. Vice Chairman O'Bryan suggested that the Board approve all three properties for demolition. He noted that there would be enough time before the County receives the demolition bids, for Forty Fourth Associates, LLC, to voluntarily demolish the property, if it wishes, and not receive a lien from the County. Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, sought and received details on how the County gets reimbursed for the demolition costs. A motion was made by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, seconded by Commissioner Solari, to: (1) declare the structures located at: (a) 6345 85th Street; (b) 4305 26th Avenue; and (c) 4345, 4355, and 4365 28th Avenue unsafe and a nuisance and order the buildings demolished, with related debris removed from the property by a private vendor approved through standard bid procedures; and (2) approve Resolution 2017-074, providing for the demolition of unsafe structures and the recovery of costs. The motion carried by the following vote: Indian River County Florida Page 13
