AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Progress report on ordered demolition of the structure
located at 207 Sterling Street (Lot 14, Block 2, of an
unrecorded portion of Richards Subdivision).
Dan Sears asked staff to brief the Commission.
Lance Simms, Building Official, took the floor. Lance said the original order
issued by the Commission in September regarding this property provided for a
maximum time of 180 days for the demolition unless the Commission granted a
time extension. He continued by reminding the Commission that the original order
also requested the owner to come back before the commission at ninety (90) day
intervals, and the last time that happened was December 10, 2001. Lance said
that March 10th marked the 180 day time limit.
Lance reported that the property owner was notified of this meeting via certified
mail and asked to be present to update the Commission on any progress on this
case. He also said that a Community Development representative was present to
answer any questions the Commission may have. Lance then said that the
Commission could, after hearing a report from the property owner, choose to grant
an extension to the original 180 -day order for demolition.
Dan Sears asked if a motion would be needed to grant an extension beyond the
original 180 day time limit. Lance said he thought if the Commission choose to
grant an extension, a motion would be in order, but if the Commission choose to
do noting, the original 180 -day order would stand.
Dan asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of the item.
Oscar Davenport took the stand to speak for Mrs. Sterling, property owner. He
said that everything they had requested from the City had been done. He said
they were waiting on a City Council meeting that he thought was scheduled for the
March 14 for approval. Mr. Davenport continued by requesting that the
Commission grant an extension until they hear from the City Council.
Following Mr. Davenport, Eric Barton, Community Development Housing
Coordinator, took the stand. Eric told the Commission that the structure at 207
Sterling Street had been placed on the agenda for March 14 City Council
meeting. He said if Council grants approval for the funds the existing structure
would be demolished and a new single family home would be constructed on the

property. George McLean asked Eric how much of an extension would be
needed? Eric said he thought 60 to 90 days would give them enough time to get
bids out, select a contractor and have the house demolished. Eric said the only
thing that might delay the process is the possibility that the contractor that is
selected by the City to do the work may have to go through the qualification
process for the Community Development program.
Dan Sears asked if anyone would like to make a motion.
George McLean motioned to extend the demolition order for an additional
90 days.
Kevin Kuddes seconded the motion.
The motion passed unanimously, (5 -0)
AGENDA ITEM NO. 6 Adjourn
Larry Patton motioned to adjourn.
Glenn Thomas seconded the motion.
The motion passed unanimously, (5 -0).
The meeting was adjourned.
