12.A.1. Condemnation, Demolition and Removal of Unsafe <br />Structures <br />Scott McAdam, County Building Official, presented this item to the Board using a <br />PowerPoint presentation (on file). <br />On the request of Vice Chairman Davis he asked how aggressive the Board wanted to be <br />on liens that may eventually be foreclosed on. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan stated that although these properties do not have a mortgage, <br />there are plenty that do, and he proposed that instead of a lien, they would declare an annual <br />assessment on the properties that would be added to their tax bill. <br />Commissioner Zorc recalled a case where a site had been declared unsafe and <br />demolished, and afterwards became a jungle, creating a Code Enforcement issue. <br />Vice Chairman Davis agreed, and said that this was something he would like the Board to <br />consider in the future. <br />Chairman Flescher commented that the buildings should not become public safety issues; <br />he felt that by the time they get to this point they are ready for demolition. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Davis, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner O'Bryan, to declare the property owned by Jessie <br />Lewis, at 12936 100th Lane; and the property owned by Cynthia L. <br />Stamps, at 12930 100th Place, unsafe and a nuisance, and in <br />addition, to authorize the approval of the Resolution. <br />Discussion ensued. <br />October 22, 2013 15 <br />BK 144 PG 494 <br />
