ANALYSIS: <br />The subject structure has been vacant for a considerable time. During that time, the <br />building has continued to deteriorate and have been frequented by vandals and transients. <br />Not only have the owners failed to maintain the structure in compliance with the <br />Minimum Standard Codes, they have failed to bring the structure 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 structure and with assessing a <br />lien against the property for demolition and removal. <br />The County Attorney's Office has reviewed the title reports on this parcel and found no <br />encumbrances (i.e. mortgages, liens) other than code enforcement liens or tax certificates <br />from unpaid taxes. <br />Owner: Maria L. Alo c/o Indian River Beach Properties LLC, a dissolved limited <br />liability company. Zoning: multi -family residential (RM -10). There is an unpaid <br />utility lien for $2,512.11 since July 25, 2008. There is a code enforcement fine <br />accruing since December, 2014, now estimated to be $177,000, and another code <br />enforcement fine accuring since December 2016 now estimated at $105,000. The <br />property taxes have not been paid for 2019, but are otherwise current. <br />FUNDING <br />Funding in the amount of $12,525 for the demolition and removal of the unsafe structure <br />on the residential site is available in the MSTU Fund/Reserve for Contingency. After <br />demolition bids are received and a demolition contract is awarded, a budget amendment <br />will need to be processed to move those funds to the MSTU/Road & Bridge/Other <br />Contractual Services- Account # 00421441-033490. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners declare the referenced <br />structure unsafe and a nuisance, and order the building 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 proposed resolution, which authorizes <br />the Building Official to report the county's demolition and debris removal cost for said <br />structure to the County Attorney, who will then prepare and record a lien against the <br />subject property for the purpose of recovering County demolition costs. <br />file:///F:\Community\Development\BUILDING\BCC\Agendas\ 12.10.19agenda.doc <br />63 <br />
