Conduct a Public Hearing and consider the applicant's request to modify the demolition order initiated by the Building and Standards Commission effective September 29, 2024, for the properties located at 600 and 604 Peggs St., DeSoto, Texas, to allow for an additional 90 days to bring the properties into compliance with the City of DeSoto's minimum building standards]
A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER THE APPLICANT'S REQUEST TO MODIFY THE DEMOLITION ORDER INITIATED BY THE BUILDING AND STANDARDS COMMISSION, EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 29TH, 2024. FOR THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 600 AND 604 PEG STREET IN DESOTO, TEXAS, TO ALLOW FOR AN ADDITIONAL 90 DAYS TO BRING THE PROPERTIES INTO COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY OF DESOTO'S MINIMUM BUILDING STANDARDS. MR. KEY, DO WE HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THIS FOR TONIGHT? YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT. AND SO I WOULD, FIRST OF ALL, WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME THE NEW BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE HERE TONIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME. WE APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE HERE ON THE BUILDING AND STANDARDS COMMISSION. AND SO THIS IS A PROPERTY THAT WE BROUGHT BACK ON SEPTEMBER THE 29TH TO THE BOARD AND PRESENTED A RECOMMENDATION OF DEMOLITION.AND SO ON AUGUST 29TH, 2024. GO AHEAD AND GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. THE BUILDING AND STANDARDS COMMISSION DETERMINED THAT THE STRUCTURES LOCATED AT 600 AND 604 PEGS DE SOTO, TEXAS, ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY OF DESOTO'S MINIMUM BUILDING STANDARDS. PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 3.700 OF THE CITY DE SOTO CODE OF ORDINANCES, THE ORDER FOR DEMOLITION WAS APPROVED AND INITIATED BY THE COMMISSION EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 29TH, 2024. CITY STAFF SENT NOTICE OF THE ORDER TO THE REAL PROPERTY OWNER VIA CERTIFIED MAIL AND THROUGH EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE. UPON RECEIPT OF THE ORDER, STAFF HAS WAS CONTACTED BY A REPRESENTATIVE FROM LONE STAR LONE RANGER CAPITAL, A MR. PAUL CARPIO. HE WAS REQUESTING THE COMMISSION DEFER OR MODIFY THE ORDER FOR A PERIOD OF 90 DAYS TO ALLOW THE PROPERTY OWNER TO COMPLETE THE CONSTRUCTION OF BOTH PROPERTIES AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ESTABLISHED GUIDELINES, AN APPEAL MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD TO REQUEST AN EXTENSION OR MODIFICATION OF THE ORDER. AND SO WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO, SINCE THE SINCE IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON ON THE BOARD THAT ACTUALLY HEARD THE ORIGINAL CASE. I WANT TO GIVE YOU ALL A LITTLE BIT OF A BRIEF HISTORY ON THE TWO PROPERTIES, AND SO YOU CAN SEE ON THE SLIDE THERE AT 600 PEGS ON NOVEMBER THE 28TH, 2021, A PERMIT WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION COMMENCED AS OF FEBRUARY 8TH, 2023, THE PERMIT BECAME NULL AND VOID WITH NO INSPECTION ACTIVITY FOR 180 DAYS PER BUILDING CODE. WHEN THERE IS NO INSPECTIONS TAKING PLACE WITHIN THAT 180 DAY PERIOD, THE PERMITS BECOME NULL AND VOID. AS OF JUNE THE 1ST, 2023, A PLACARD WAS POSTED ON THE PROPERTY NOTIFYING THE PROPERTY OWNER OF RECORD, PER DALLAS COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT. ON JUNE 1ST, 2023. ALSO, A VIOLATION NOTIFICATION WAS MAILED
[00:05:02]
CERTIFIED TO THE PROPERTY OWNER OF RECORD, PER THE DALLAS COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT, AND WAS RETURNED UNCLAIMED ON AUGUST THE 17TH, 2024. PERMITS WERE RENEWED ON JUNE THE 10TH, AND INSPECTIONS DID RESUME AS OF FEBRUARY THE 9TH OF 2024. THAT WAS THE LAST INSPECTION THAT WAS PERFORMED ON THE PROPERTY PERMITS AGAIN BECAME NULL AND VOID UPON THE 180 DAYS, WITH NO INSPECTIONS BEING PERFORMED. SO WITH THIS PROPERTY, AS OF AUGUST THE 9TH, 2024, THE PERMIT FOR 600 PEGS BECAME NULL AND VOID. THE PROPERTY AT 604 PEGS. IT'S KIND OF A LITTLE BIT OF THE SAME SCENARIO, BUT ON JANUARY 18TH, 2022, A PERMIT WAS ISSUED FOR THIS PROPERTY. CONSTRUCTION COMMENCED MAY 25TH, 2022 WAS THE LAST INSPECTION PERFORMED. PERMITS BECOME NULL AND VOID AGAIN AFTER 180 DAYS, WITH NO INSPECTIONS BEING PERFORMED. ON JUNE 1ST, 2023, A PLACARD WAS POSTED ON THIS PROPERTY NOTIFYING THE PROPERTY OWNER OF RECORD PER DALLAS COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT. ALSO ON JUNE 1ST, 2023, A VIOLATION NOTICE OR NOTIFICATION WAS MAILED CERTIFIED TO THE PROPERTY OWNER OF RECORD, PER THE DALLAS COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT, AND AGAIN WAS RETURNED UNCLAIMED. AS OF AUGUST 17TH, 2024, THIS PERMIT WAS ALSO RENEWED ON JUNE 10TH, 2023, BUT AS OF DECEMBER THE 10TH, 2023, THE PERMIT BECAME NULL AND VOID WITH NO INSPECTION ACTIVITY WITHIN 180 DAYS. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE TWO PROPERTIES ITSELF IN QUESTION ARE AT THIS TIME OR EVEN AT THAT TIME. WE'RE AT A STAGE THAT HAS BECOME NUMBER NUMBER ONE, UNINHABITABLE. IT'S BECOME A NUISANCE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. IT'S BECOME UNSAFE. AND IT WAS A DETRIMENT TO THE CITY AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND SO YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE PICTURES THAT I PROVIDED BASED ON THOSE DATES, AS TO WHAT THE HOUSES LOOK LIKE AT THE TIME OF THOSE DATES AND THOSE HOUSES ARE ACTUALLY IN THE SAME STATE AS WE SPEAK THIS EVENING. YOU CAN SEE ALSO. THE NEXT SLIDE IS AUGUST 29TH, 2024. THEY HAVEN'T REALLY CHANGED A WHOLE LOT. THEY'VE STAYED IN THE SAME STATUS. AND THIS STATUS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS. PURSUANT TO THE 2021 INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE. AS THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION, WE HAVE A RIGHT WHERE IT STATES OR WHERE THERE HAS BEEN A SUCCESSION OF NORMAL CONSTRUCTION OF ANY STRUCTURE FOR A PERIOD OF MORE THAN TWO YEARS, THE CODE OFFICIAL, WHICH WOULD BE ME, THE BUILDING OFFICIAL, SHALL ORDER THE OWNER OR OWNERS AUTHORIZED AGENTS TO DEMOLISH AND REMOVE SUCH STRUCTURE AS THE BUILDING OFFICIAL AND AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION. I RECOMMEND TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. I RECOMMENDED THAT THE BUILDING STANDARDS BOARD, BASED ON THE PRESENTED FACTS AND APPLICABLE CODES AND ORDINANCES, APPROVE AN ORDER FOR THE DEMOLITION OF THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT 600 AND 604 PEG STREET, DESOTO, TEXAS ON AUGUST 29TH, 2024. BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE LENDER, LONE RANGER CAPITAL CAPITAL. EXCUSE ME. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A GENERAL CONTRACTOR HAS BEEN SECURED, ALONG WITH ALL REQUIRED SUBCONTRACTORS, TO COMPLETE THE WORK ON BOTH PROPERTIES WITHIN THE 90 DAY TIME FRAME. THAT WOULD BE SET BY THE BUILDING AND STANDARDS BOARD. SO AT THIS POINT, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS WE'RE LOOKING AT THE LONG HAUL OR THE LONG STRETCH OF THIS. AND SO STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT YOU GRANT A MODIFICATION OF THE APPROVED ORDER TO ALLOW FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE PROPERTIES AT 600 AND 604 PEGS. AND SO I WILL OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS TO THE BOARD AT THIS TIME. SO THE MODIFICATION IS FOR TO RESUME CONSTRUCTION OR IS IT TO DEMOLISH. NO. IT WOULD BE A MODIFIED ORDER. SO WHAT IT IS TO ALLOW THEM TO RESUME CONSTRUCTION WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS A 90 DAY PERIOD THAT YOU, THE BOARD, WOULD DETERMINE FOR THEM TO GET THAT COMPLETED. AND SO WE HAVE OUR CITY ATTORNEY WITH US WHO CAN WHO CAN ELABORATE ON THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE WHEN HE GETS TO THAT POINT. BUT WHAT WE'RE DOING AS A STAFF IS WE'RE RECOMMENDING THAT YOU MODIFY THE CURRENT ORDER TO ALLOW THEM TO GET THE COMPLETION OF THESE TWO PROPERTIES WITHIN 90 DAYS, BECAUSE, I MEAN, LET'S FACE IT, AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT WOULD BE A WIN WIN FOR THE CITY BECAUSE NUMBER ONE, WE WOULD HAVE A COMPLETED PRODUCT. NUMBER TWO, WE WOULD HAVE PROPERTY ON THE TAX ROLL WHERE WE WOULD BE GETTING PROPERTY TAXES FOR. IT WOULD PROBABLY HELP THE NEIGHBORHOOD AT THAT TIME. ONCE IT'S COMPLETED AND VIABLE TO BE SOLD, IT WOULD JUST ADHERE TO THE PROPERTY IN THE SURROUNDING PROPERTIES. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR STAFF? I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION. THEN WE'LL MOVE INTO THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO TONIGHT THE ACTUAL. NO SIR. NO SIR. OKAY. THE OWNER IS NOT[00:10:08]
HERE. THIS EVENING REQUESTING THE MODIFICATION. IT IS THE LENDER THAT IS HERE. THAT IS CORRECT. IT IS THE LENDER. I DON'T. OH, THERE HE IS. RIGHT THERE. OKAY, SO WE WILL ALSO HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU AS WELL. ALRIGHTY. WITH NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, I DID SEE HERE THAT WE SHOULD OPEN A PUBLIC HEARING. THERE'S NOT A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS EVENING.WELL, THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING, BUT IT'S SIR, IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING. BUT THIS IS MORE LIKE A COURT SETTING. IT'S NOT A PUBLIC HEARING WHERE THE PUBLIC IS ALLOWED TO SPEAK. OKAY. I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY THAT IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING. IT'S A PUBLIC HEARING WHERE YOU'RE ALLOWED TO ATTEND. OKAY, BUT YOU CAN'T SPEAK. BUT NO ONE WILL ATTEND THE PODIUM TONIGHT. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. LIKE MY OBJECTION TO THE RECOMMENDATION, SIR, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO STOP, OR WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ASK YOU TO STEP OUT. OKAY. ALRIGHTY. WITH THAT BEING CONSIDERED, IS THE APPLICANT ASKING OR REQUESTING TO PRESENT ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS TONIGHT? I BELIEVE HE IS. AND I BELIEVE HE IS HERE. MR. CAPRIO, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK, PLEASE? HAVE YOU ALSO FILLED OUT A CARD WITH YOUR INFORMATION FOR THIS EVENING? I HAVE NOT OKAY. WE CAN MAKE SURE WE GET WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO. IN THIS INSTANCE. HE DOESN'T NEED TO FILL OUT A CARD, BUT HE DOES NEED TO BE SWORN IN AS A WITNESS SINCE HE'S AN INTERESTED OWNER OF THE PROPERTY. SO SINCE THIS IS LIKE A QUASI COURT SETTING, HE'S GOING TO ACT AS A WITNESS. SO HE DOES NEED TO JUST BE SWORN IN RATHER THAN LIKE A COMMENT CARD. OKAY, WHO WOULD NORMALLY DO THAT FOR US? YOU. ALRIGHTY. DO I HAVE ANY SUPPORT TO GET THAT ACCOMPLISHED FOR TONIGHT OR DO YOU HAVE AND HOLD NO. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TONIGHT AS A WITNESS ON THIS CASE THAT WE'RE DISCUSSING FOR THIS EVENING. IS THERE ANYTHING APPROPRIATE TO SAY, MR. BREWER, ON THIS OR ARE YOU YOU NEED TO DO IS JUST SAY, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND, AND SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO PROVIDE TRUE, FACTUAL INFORMATION. AS YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS CASE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU'RE GOING TO TURN ON YOUR MICROPHONE. THANK YOU. AND ADDRESS PAUL CARPIO, REPRESENTING CAPITAL CRO OF THE COMPANY BASED OUT OF AUSTIN, TEXAS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ATTENDING TONIGHT. IS THERE ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT YOU'D LIKE TO GIVE US THIS EVENING? YEAH, JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND OF LIKE THE SITUATION THAT HAPPENED AND THEN DOCUMENTATION THAT WE GOT. SO WE DID GET ENGINEERS TO GO OUT AND INSPECT THE PROPERTY AND CERTIFY AND GIVE US INSPECTIONS, REPORT THAT THE STRUCTURES ARE SOUND AND WE CAN'T CONTINUE THE WORK. AND IT REALLY WAS LIKE THE HOMEOWNER, THE BUILDER AT THE TIME WENT THROUGH THE FINANCIAL PROBLEMS. AND THAT'S WHERE ALL THOSE GAPS HAPPENED BECAUSE LIKE THEY FRONT A LOT OF THE MONEY AND THEN THEY CAME TO US TO REFINANCE AND GET THEM ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO COMPLETE THE PROJECTS. BUT WHEN WE DECIDED TO REFINANCE THE PROPERTY, WE TOOK SOLE CONTROL OF, LIKE THE CONSTRUCTION. SO WE WILL BE MANAGING THE CONSTRUCTION OURSELVES. SO WE'RE THE ONES THAT RETAIN THE GENERAL CONTRACTORS, THE SUBS, WHICH ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH DE SOTO AND HAVE OTHER PROJECTS IN THE CITY, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE FINISH IN A TIMELY MANNER. THANK YOU. COULD YOU GIVE US A SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED? SO THE PROPERTY RIGHT NOW IS CURRENTLY FRAMED OUT. SO WE HAVE TO WEATHER IN. AND SO THE WINDOWS GET THE SIDING DONE. AND THEN FROM THERE GO INTO LIKE FINISH REINSPECTING THE ROOFING BECAUSE IT'S BEEN SITTING THERE FOR A WHILE. SO WE WANT TO RECHECK THE PLUMBING, RECHECK THE ELECTRIC AND THEN ONCE WE GET THAT REINSPECTED START SHEETROCKING AND MOVE ON TO FINISHES. A LOT OF THE MATERIALS HAS BEEN SOURCED ALREADY AND WE HAVE IT IN STORAGE. AND THEN ONCE COMPLETE, YOU WOULD BE PLACING THIS PROPERTY ON THE MARKET. YES. OKAY. DO YOU FEEL CONFIDENT THAT YOU CAN GET THE PROJECT COMPLETED WITHIN THE 90 DAYS? YES. US TAKING. YEAH. SO JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON OUR COMPANY, WE'RE BASED OUT OF AUSTIN. WE CURRENTLY HAVE HERE IN IN DALLAS, $186 MILLION WORTH OF LOANS IN DESOTO ALONE. WE HAVE ABOUT 10 MILLION. WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR NINE YEARS, AND WE MANAGE A FUND OF OVER HALF $1 BILLION AT THIS MOMENT. SO WE HAVE A LOT OF EXPERIENCE.
BIG STAFF OF 38 PEOPLE. AND THIS IS LIKE STANDARD FOR US. IT'S USUALLY WHEN WE TAKE CONTROL WE CAN MANAGE THE TIMELINE WHEN WE'RE JUST LENDING THE MONEY INTO SOMEBODY ELSE'S CONTROL.
IT'S WHEN WE HAVE ISSUES AND LEGALLY THERE'S STEPS THAT WE NEED TO TAKE BEFORE WE CAN TAKE OVER A PROPERTY. SO BUT AT THIS POINT, WE HAVE FULL CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY. OKAY. MY CONCERN WOULD BE FOR THE RESIDENTS AROUND THE PROPERTY IS THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO HAVE THAT EXTENSION, THEN YOU SHOULD KEEP, YOU KNOW, THE PROPERTY SHOULD BE WELL KEPT.
AND I NOTICED THAT THERE WERE SOME CITATIONS AND VIOLATIONS INVOLVING, YOU KNOW, HIGH GRASS DEBRIS AND ALL OF THAT. AND THAT. YEAH, THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE MY CONCERN. WE'LL KEEP
[00:15:03]
US AS SOON AS IT WAS BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION, WE SENT PEOPLE OUT THERE TO CUT THE GRASS, REMOVE THE DEBRIS AND WE'LL KEEP THEM MAINTAINED. AND THE SUBCONTRACTOR AND THE GCS ARE ON TOP OF THIS JOB ARE VERY EXPERIENCED. SO THEY HAVE OTHER JOB SITES THAT YOU CAN CHECK TO VERIFY THAT THEY KEEP CLEAN JOB SITES. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. SO THINKING ABOUT 90 DAYS. AND THEN IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S PUTTING US ABOUT THE END OF FEBRUARY IS WHAT WE'RE THINKING. YEAH, 90 DAYS FROM THE DAY I'M ALLOWED TO RESUME TO RESUME. OKAY. SIR, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING? I'M SORRY, I CHARLES BREWER, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES I KIND OF GOT A QUESTION FOR OUR LEGAL ASSISTANCE. IS IT 90 DAYS FROM THE BUILDING AND STANDARDS ACTION DATE IN SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER OR AUGUST, WHENEVER THAT WAS? OR IS IT 90 DAYS FROM THE DAY, WHICH MEANS THE NUMBER IS ACTUALLY FROM THAT DATE? PLUS 90 DAYS. SO, COMMISSIONERS, WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS I HAVE A PROPOSED MOTION HERE FOR Y'ALL. I'VE KIND OF TALKED WITH, YOU KNOW, STAFF ON HOW THEY WANT TO PROCEED WITH THIS AND WHAT THEIR SUGGESTION IS. SO WHAT THIS MOTION DOES IS IT'S GOING TO RESCIND THAT. SINCE THIS IS A LITTLE WEIRD, WE'VE ALREADY BEEN HERE. WE'VE DONE THIS. THEY'VE BEEN ORDERED TO DEMOLISH THE PROPERTY. WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS WE NEED TO ESSENTIALLY APPROVE ALL THE FINDINGS OF THE PREVIOUS HEARING. WE NEED TO RESCIND THAT ORDER AND THEN MAKE OUR NEW ORDERS ON WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO, WHAT YOU ALL ARE GOING TO D.WHAT I HAVE LAID OUT HERE IS ESSENTIALLY A 90 DAY WINDOW. IT WILL BE FROM TODAY. SO THE DATE OF THE ORDER, WHAT IT'S GOING TO DO IS AND YOU ALL ARE FREE TO MODIFY THIS, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE. SO YOU CAN CHANGE THE TIMELINES. IF Y'ALL FEEL THE NEED I HAVE IN THERE, YOU KNOW, ORDER THAT I AM BUILDING PERMIT BE ISSUED IN 30 DAYS A CO BE ISSUED IN 90 DAYS FOR THE PROPERTY IF A BUILDING PERMIT IS NOT RECEIVED OR NOT OBTAINED WITHIN 30 DAYS, THEN THAT DEMOLITION ORDER COMES BACK INTO EFFECT. THE PROPERTY MUST BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 60 DAYS. IF THEY DON'T DEMOLISH THE PROPERTY WITHIN 60 DAYS, OR A LIEN HOLDER OR SOMEONE, THE CITY WILL DO IT OR ASSESS MONETARY PENALTIES, CIVIL PENALTIES ON THEM. SO THAT'S WHAT I HAVE HERE PROPOSED IN THIS MOTION. I CAN GO AHEAD AND PROVIDE THAT TO YOU ALL. BRING IT UP FOR SOMEONE TO CONSIDER AND Y'ALL CAN CHANGE THAT AT YOUR WILL. OR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MYSELF OR STAFF AS WELL, WE'RE OPEN TO THAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER INFORMATION, SIR? NO. AND I MEAN TIMELINE WORKS I OH, THAT WORKS FOR US OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I THINK WE WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE ADJUSTED. INFORMATION. THANK YOU. TAKE ONE. THANK YOU.
IS THAT THE SAME? IS IT OKAY? THAT. IS IT OKAY THAT I READ THIS OUT LOUD JUST FOR AWARENES.
ARE YOU IN THE MOTION? NOT YET. NO, I PREFER TO JUST READ IT OUT LOUD WHEN YOU MAKE A MOTION.
OKAY, Y'ALL CAN DISCUSS IT, BUT THERE'S NO POINT IN READING THE WHOLE THING NOW. OKAY? ALRIGHTY.
I'LL GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY JUST TO KIND OF ABSORB ALL OF THIS.
AND YOU CAN BE. SURE. THERE SHOULD BE ONE IN THE BACK.
THANK YOU. SIR. LET'S JUST TRANSITION.
[00:20:21]
ARE THERE ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGES TO THE MODIFIED AMENDMENT OR THE MODIFIED ORDER? YEAH, I THINK WE JUST WANT SOME CLARIFICATION. SO THEY HAVE TO GET THE PERMIT WITHIN 30 DAYS.CORRECT? CORRECT. AND THEN AFTER THE PERMIT IS OBTAINED, THEN THEY HAVE THE 90 DAYS TO COMPLETE EVERYTHING TO BE THEY DON'T HAVE 60 DAYS FOR CONSTRUCTION. OKAY. BUT THAT'S ONLY ASSUMING THEY GOT THE BUILDING PERMIT ON DAY 30. RIGHT. SO IN OTHER WORDS, WHAT WHAT LEGAL'S SAYING IS THE 90 DAYS WOULD START TODAY. OKAY. IF Y'ALL SO CALL SO, SO CALLED THE PRESENTATION AND MADE THAT MOTION. THE 90 DAYS WOULD START TODAY. BUT THEY WOULD HAVE 30 DAYS TO OBTAIN THE PERMIT. OKAY. DO WE KNOW WHEN THEY PLAN TO APPLY FOR THE PERMIT? YOU CAN ASK THEM THAT WHEN WE ALL WHEN DO YOU PLAN TO APPLY FOR THE PERMIT? THE CITY OF. YEAH. JUST FOR A LITTLE CLARIFICATION, I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS AND SO FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, HE IS PREPARED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WITH THE APPLICATION FOR THE PERMIT, WHICH IS NOT GOING TO TAKE VERY LONG FOR US ON OUR SIDE TO GET IT PROCESSED AND ISSUED FOR THEM TO GO TO WORK. SO YEAH, IF GRANTED THE PERMISSION, WE WOULD HAVE SOMEBODY HERE ON MONDAY START WORKING ON SUBMITTING EVERYTHING TO THE CITY. OKAY.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I HAVE A QUESTION AND PERHAPS A COMMENT HERE. IT SAYS SEPTEMBER 29TH. I BELIEVE OUR HEARING DATE WAS ACTUALLY AUGUST 29TH. SHOULD THAT BE CHANGED OR WERE WE DOING 30 DAYS? SO NO. SO THE ORDER THAT Y'ALL APPROVED AND THAT WAS BY THE BOARD WAS AS OF SEPTEMBER THE 29TH, Y'ALL WERE ALLOWING THEM AN ADDITIONAL 30 DAYS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN SHOULD WE HAVE ANYTHING WRITTEN IN HERE FOR THE SECOND BULLET POINT THAT SAYS IF WITHIN THE 60 DAYS, IF THE BUILDING PERMIT IS NOT OBTAINED, THEY WOULD DEMOLISH AND REMOVE ALL TRASH AND DEBRIS.
MY QUESTION, I THINK THERE IS, IS THEN WHAT IF IT'S DEMOLISHED, CLEANED UP? WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE LAND POST THAT OR IS THAT NOT THE CITY? THAT'S THE CITY DECIDE. WE'RE JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OKAY. AND I DO HAVE ONE CORRECTION TO THE MOTION I WAS MISTAKEN. SO THIS THE FINDINGS WOULD BE THE 1ST SEPTEMBER WOULD BE AUGUST. OKAY. THE ORDER IS DATED OKAY SEPTEMBER 29TH. SO THE 2ND SEPTEMBER IS CORRECT. OKAY. BUT THE FIRST ONE SHOULD BE AUGUST.
IF YOU DECIDE TO GO WITH THAT MOTION. OKAY. VERY GOOD. IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR FEEDBACK ON THIS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK FOR A MOTION THEN TO ACCEPT THE AMENDED MOTION WITH THE ONE CORRECTION MAKING THE HEARING DATE AUGUST 29TH, 2024, BUT WITH ALL OTHER DETAILS REMAINING. THE SAME.
