BOOK 97 PAGE 219 <br />As per county code requirements, the owners of the properties were issued notices <br />to repair or remove the structures, and advised of their right to appeal the <br />condemnation order before the Indian River County Building Code Board of <br />Adjustments and Appeals. In addition, condemnation cards were posted on the <br />properties. Because staff could not obtain legal service for the condemnation notice <br />on the property owned by Lynn C. and Ludy Bell Monts (#2 on attached list), and <br />property owned by Ardella Ellison (#3 on attached list), a public notice was posted <br />at the Indian River County Courthouse. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />The subject structures have been vacant for a considerable time. During that time, <br />the buildings have continued to deteriorate and have been frequented by vandals <br />and transients. Not only have the owners failed to maintain the structures in <br />compliance with the Minimum Standard Codes, they have failed to bring the <br />structures into compliance as required by posted notice. Since the owners have not <br />filed an appeal to the condemnation order, the county may now proceed with <br />demolition of the structures. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners declare said structures <br />a nuisance, and order the buildings demolished with related debris removed from the <br />property by .the County Road and Bridge Department. <br />Staff further recommends that the Board adopt the attached resolution authorizing <br />the Building Official to report the county's demolition and debris removal cost for <br />each structure to the county attorney for the preparation and recording of a lien to <br />be placed on the real property of the owner .of each demolished unsafe structure for <br />the purpose of recovering the county's costs. <br />EXHIBIT "A" <br />1.
