BY: MiChael E. Peterson BY:
On August .9, 1991, the City Commissio~ (by adoption of Resolution 91-
4350) set September 16, 1991, as the date for a public hearing to
provide any owner, owner's agent, lienholder of record and any occupant
of the structures listed in Resolution 91-4350 an opportunity to appear
and show cause why such structure should not be condemned and ordered
repaired or demolished.
The original list of buildings included 29 structures. Four structures
have been demolished; Work has begun but is not completed on six other
structures. The garage behind 1228 North 7th and the house at 410 West
Elm cannot be acted upon because we were unable to notify all parties
with an interest in these properties. We have begun nuisance abatement
procedures instead.
The Permits and Inspection Division has prepared'reports (see attached)
on each of the remaining 23 structures. The reports and evaluation were
done using the 18 criteria listed in Section 302 of the Uniform Code
for the Abatement of Dangerous Structures (see attached). Our report is
expressed by listing the conditions which were found to exist for each
property.
It is recommended that, upon closure of the public hearing, the enclosed
resolution be adopted. The resolution requires repair or removal and
sets a time frame for initiation and completion of work.

This is an evaluation report based on eighteen conditions or defects

The applicable conditions are listed for each property. Following
the conditions, a staff recommendation is given as to the type of work we
believe to be an appropriate solution to eliminate these conditions or
defects. The owners will, however, ibe able to choose to repair or remove
under State law. In addition, if they fail to take the necessary action
to repair or remowe, the City is Only allowed to raze (demolish) the
structure as a solution. If an owneir chooses to repair when we recommend
removal, the owners are free to do so as long as they meet all
applicable City codes (i.e. building, zoning, etc.). In all cases, we
expect the owner to eliminate all debris and uncontrolled vegetation.
State law requires that a reasonable time be established within which the
repair or removal shall be commenced and completed. In ail cases we
recommend that the owner or authorized agent begin work no later than
October 1, 1991 and that all work be substantially completed by November
]5, 1991. The term "begin work" is intended to mean that the Permits and
Inspection Division has been givein a completed application for the
necessary permits and repair or removal work has begun.
