HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? UH, MR. CHAIRMAN, THIS IS GEORGE.
I'M SORRY, MY, MY CORRECTION BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THIS IS GEORGE GRIMES.
UH, OFFICER, IN THE FIRST NOTE UNDER THE INSPECTIONS, IT MENTIONS THIS IS A VOP CASE.
WHAT IS A VOP CASE? IT'S A VACANT BUILDING.
AND, UH, A NUMBER OF NOTICES HAVE BEEN SENT OUT TO VARIOUS PARTIES.
UH, DID, DID UH, YOU RECEIVE ANY, UH, COMMUNICATION FROM ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OWNER UNTIL TODAY? NO, SIR.
THIS IS THOMAS FRANKS QUESTION.
SO WE'RE AT 11 MONTHS NOW, BEFORE THIS IS GETTING TO THE BOARD, WHAT TOOK IT 11 MONTHS TO GET UP HERE FOR ACCESSORY ONE AND ACCESSORY TWO? SO I NOTIFIED OHP ON 3 19 24.
UM, IT WASN'T RELEASED UNTIL AUGUST 21ST, 2024.
AND THAT'S WHEN I AGAIN, BEGIN THE PROCESS OF, UM, TURNING IN THE FOLDER FOR THE HEARING.
SO IT TOOK 60 GIVE OR TAKE 60 DAYS TO GET IT TO OHP BECAUSE OF, I'M LOOKING, YOUR FIRST NOTICE IS ON 1 26 AND THEN YOUR OHP WENT, YOU KNOW, THREE 19 ISH.
SO FROM THAT'S JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH.
I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE MASSIVE GAP.
'CAUSE THIS IS THE SECOND MEETING WHERE WE'VE HAD LARGE GAPS FROM WHEN IT STARTED TO, WHEN IT'S COME TO THE BOARD.
SO I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY SUCH BIG GAPS.
AND I SEE JENNY GETTING HER MIC READY.
YEAH, THE MIC TURNED TO WEIRD.
AND, UH, BOARD IN GENERAL, WE DO, UH, TRY TO GET OUR CASES HERE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BUT THERE ARE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE, HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE FOLLOWING.
SO WE DON'T HAVE A SET TIMELINE.
IF WE'RE EXPEDITING A CASE, THERE MAY BE SOME THINGS THAT ARE, UM, PUSHED FOR FASTER, BUT IN GENERAL, WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE C COVERING ALL OF OUR STEPS.
SO THERE, THERE IS NOT A SET TIMELINE THAT WE'RE, THAT WE'RE GONNA GET THESE HERE, UH, DROP DEAD OR WE'RE MISSING A TIMELINE IF, UH, WE WOULD ALWAYS, ALWAYS WANNA MAKE SURE THIS IS THE LAST RESORT.
SO I HAVE TO, I HAVE TO REAFFIRM THAT, THAT THERE'S GONNA, THERE'S NOT GONNA BE A SET TIMELINE THAT THESE CASES ARE COMING TO THE BOARD OTHER THAN WE'VE EXHAUSTED ALL OTHER OPTIONS, BUT TO BRING IT TO THE BOARD.
SO WHY NOW? IS IT BECAUSE OF THE NEW CITY ORDINANCES ARE GOING INTO EFFECT FOR DECONSTRUCTION VERSE DEMOLITION ON THE 8 25 NOTE? I, I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN BY WHY NOW THIS CASE BRINGING BROUGHT FORWARD OR THE TIMELINE? JUST THE TIMELINE.
UM, WE CAN TALK OFF RECORD OR, OR LATER.
I, I DO WANNA REMIND EVERYBODY.
I, I BELIEVE I'VE, I'VE TRAINED EVERYBODY.
UM, THE, THE SCENARIO THAT I LIKE TO USE IS, UM, BSB IS THE CABOOSE.
SO THE ENTIRE PROCESS, IT'S THE LAST, UH, LAST STOP BEFORE, UM, REAL CONSIDERATION, UH, OF WHETHER THE DEMO DEMOLITION IS AN OPTION.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE LAST, UM, THE LAST STRAW, WHICH IS WHY IT IS THE CABOOSE.
I WILL LET YOU KNOW THAT ONCE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES SENDS THIS INFORMATION TO OHP AND, AND, UH, IT IS, IT IS OUT OF THEIR HANDS UNTIL THAT, THAT RESEARCH IS, IS DONE BY OHP.
I'M NOT SAYING THAT OHP, UM, IS TAKING LONGER THAN THEY NEED TO, BUT I CAN TELL YOU ONCE THE, UH, DANGEROUS PREMISE OFFICER, UH, HANDS THAT INFORMATION OVER TO, UM, OFFICE OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION, IT, WE JUST KIND OF HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE DONE DOING THEIR PROCESS BEFORE, UM, DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CAN, CAN CONTINUE AND MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.
[00:20:01]
THAT'S PROBABLY THE BEST ANSWER I CAN GIVE YOU IN REGARDS TO THAT.ANY MORE QUESTIONS? THE MAIN HAS BEEN SECURED AT THIS TIME.
THERE IS A WORK ORDER AND PROCESS.
THE CITY IS GOING TO BE DOING IT THEN? YES, SIR.
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT ALL THREE STRUCTURES ON THE PROPERTY OR JUST THE TWO ACCESSORY? THE TWO ACCESSORY.
THE, THE MAIN IS SECURED AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE MAIN ONE MOMENT.
CAN YOU, UH, RECOGNIZE, CAN YOU GIVE YOUR NAME COURTNEY ROSEN AS COMING IN FOR THE BOARD? YOU WEREN'T ON THE ROLL CALL EARLIER.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
SO WE DO HAVE SOMEBODY TO SPEAK FOR THE PROPERTY? YES.
WILL THE OWNER PLEASE, UM, APPROACH THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR, UH, FIRST AND LAST NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD? HELLO, SHAYA.
AND YOUR ADDRESS PLEASE, SIR? 2 1 3 BONVIEW STREET, AUSTIN, TEXAS 7 8 7 0 4.
I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS TUESDAY.
I DIDN'T KNOW THE, THE ADDRESS ON FILE.
I HAVEN'T LIVED THERE FOR TWO YEARS, SO I'VE NEVER GOTTEN ANY NOTICES.
THE LIEN HOLDER FORWARDED ME THE SERV, THE NOTICE ON TUESDAY, AND I JUST CAME DOWN HERE TODAY TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN AMEND ALL THIS.
I DO APOLOGIZE FOR THE NUISANCE AND EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED, SIR, YOUR MIC.
IT'S BEING, UH, LIVE STREAMED AND AUDIOED, IF YOU COULD PULL YOUR MIC CLOSER TO YOU SURE.
I HAVE, I I HAVEN'T LIVED AT THE ADDRESS THAT YOU'VE BEEN SENDING THE NOTICES TO FOR TWO YEARS.
I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY OF THOSE NOTICES AND I JUST GOT LETTER, UH, NOTE OF THIS TUESDAY BY MY LIEN HOLDER.
SO THEY TOLD ME, AND THEN I JUST CAME DOWN HERE SO THAT I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON AND WE CAN FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION.
SO I, I DO, I'M HERE TO APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT'S HAPPENED AND TO FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION AND A WAY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH YOU GUYS OR HEAR YOUR SUGGESTIONS.
AND I ALSO HAVE SUGGESTIONS OF MY OWN.
I HAVE A QUESTION THAT IT GO AHEAD WITH THE QUESTIONS.
UM, SO IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, YOU HAVEN'T COME TO VISIT THE PROPERTY? NOT REALLY, NO.
YOU, YOU REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE TO MAINTAIN THE YARD AT THE VERY LEAST AND CHECK ON THE PROPERTY.
IT CAN'T JUST BE SITTING THERE FOR YEARS I'VE HAD PEOPLE RUN BY AND SAY IT'S BEEN FINE.
CAN YOU, UH, EXPLAIN TO US WHAT, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, LIKE WHAT YOUR IDEA IS? THE IDEA WAS ALWAYS TO, UH, DEVELOP THE PROPERTY, BUT THE PAST FEW YEARS HAVE BEEN CHALLENGING FOR REAL ESTATE AND THEIR FUNDS HAVEN'T BEEN AVAILABLE TO DO THE FULL DEVELOPMENT, SO WE'VE JUST HELD ONTO IT.
UM, SO THE PLAN WAS ALWAYS TO DEMOLISH THE UNITS AND AT THIS POINT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY.
SO I WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH DEMOLISHING THE UNITS.
I DO HAVE A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY IN AUSTIN, SO I CAN HAVE GUYS COME OUT HERE, RENT THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT TO DO THE DEMOLISHING AND TO GET THE TRASH OUT OF THERE WHERE I CAN GET BIDS FROM PEOPLE I KNOW TO DO THE DEMOLITION.
BUT AS I, THIS IS ALL COMING INTO MY UNDERSTANDING, UM, AS OF TWO DAYS AGO.
SO I, I APOLOGIZE THAT THERE'S BEEN A LACK OF, OF COMMUNICATION, UM, AS I HAVE NOT LIVED AT THAT PAST RESIDENCE FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS.
SO I HAVEN'T, I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANYTHING.
IT, IT, IT, ARE YOU TELLING US THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY GONNA DEMOLISH THE MAIN AS WELL AS THE TWO STRUCTURES? EVERYTHING? YEAH.
UM, WHAT TIMELINE DO YOU PROPOSE TO HAVE THIS DONE BY? UM, AS THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME I'VE DEMOLISHED SOMETHING, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW LONG IT TAKES TO DO THAT.
I FIGURE IT'S A COUPLE DAYS TO A COUPLE WEEKS SO I CAN START LOOKING INTO WHAT IT'S GONNA COST AND SECURING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO DO IT.
[00:25:01]
THEN IN REASONABLY IN, IN A MONTH TO TWO MONTHS.I DON'T, I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW THE TIMELINE FOR THESE TYPES OF THINGS, SO I DON'T WANT TO SAY NEXT WEEK AND, OR SAY THREE MONTHS OR, UM, WE'D BE THE FIRST.
I I DO RESIDENTIAL REMODELS AND I HAVE A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY THAT WE DO ADDITIONS AND REMODELS.
SO I'VE ACTUALLY NEVER DEMOLISHED ANYTHING BEFORE.
MR. CHAIRMAN, UH, SO WHAT IS YOUR INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY? ARE YOU THE PROPERTY OWNER? YES, THE OWNER.
SO YOU ARE STANDARD RE HOLDINGS LLC? YES.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS? YOU CAN SIT DOWN SIR.
BOARD WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
UH, MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE A MOTION.
GO AHEAD AND MAKE YOUR MOTION.
UH, I MOVE THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES FOR THE PROPERTY AT 1 4 2 1 DENVER BOULEVARD IS PUBLIC ARE PUBLIC NOTICES, NEW NUISANCES PER C CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 5 7, WHICH ARE NOT FEASIBLE TO BE REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AND ARE IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH ONE DASH 15 SIX.
UH, THE FOLLOWING CODE SECTIONS FOR ACCESSORY 1 1 2 5 7 8, 11, 12, 15, AND 17.
AND FOR ACCESSORY TWO, UH, AND 18, EXCUSE ME.
AND, UH, ACCESSORY ONE AND ACCESSORY 2 1 5 7 8 11, 12, 15, 17, AND 18.
UH, AND THE PROPERTY SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED WITHIN 30 DAYS.
WE HAVE A MOTION TO DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? NO DISCUSSION.
MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF 6 2 1 2 0.
CAN I ASK FOR A CLARIFICATION? SO WE'RE GIVING THE OWNER THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE OR WE'RE DEMANDING THE CITY DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE.
IF THE HOMEOWNER TAKES CARE OF THE DEMOLISH ON THEIRS, THAT'S, BUT IT'S IN THE COURT ORDER AS A, AS A DEMOLISH.
IF THE OWNER DOESN'T DO IT, THEN THE CITY WILL SO THE OWN, SO THE OWNER HAS 30 DAYS TO DEMOLISH? YES.
AND IF HE DOES NOT ACT, THEN THE CITY WILL, RIGHT? CORRECT.
IT'S NOT SAYING THE CITY'S GOING TO DO IT, THE CITY'S SAYING IT WILL BE DEMOLISHED.
NOW, ALTHOUGH CLARIFICATION TOO, IT'S NOT FOR THE MAIN STRUCTURE, IT'S ONLY FOR WHAT WE DISCUSSED HERE, THE TWO ACCESSORIES.
AND I BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE OR CORRECT.
I VOTED NO BECAUSE THERE'S NOT THE MAIN, IT'S ONLY ACCESSORY ONE AND ACCESSORY TWO.
WE SHOULD HAVE INCLUDED THE MAIN, BUT, BUT IT WASN'T PRESENTED THAT WAY.
IT WAS ONLY PRESENTED FOR ACCESSORY ONE AND ACCESSORY TWO CHAIR.
UH, THE MAIN WAS NOT INCLUDED.
UM, SO, UM, IF THE OWNER WANTS TO AND HE WISHES TO, HE HAS THE, UH, UH, THE AUTHORITY TO DEMOLISH THE MAIN STRUCTURE, BUT THE, UH, THE BSP ORDERS ARE FOR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURES SPECIFICALLY.
AND IF HE, AND IF HE DOESN'T DO WITHIN THAT, UH, 30 DAY TIME PERIOD AND THERE'S NO APPEAL, THEN THAT GIVES THE CITY THE RIGHT TO GO ONTO THE PROPERTY AND DO IT.
AND SIR, FOR WITH THE VOTE NOW, NOW YOU CAN TALK TO YOUR CO COMPLIANCE AND HE'LL EXPLAIN SOME MORE STUFF WITH YOU.
CAN WE GO TO THE NEXT CASE? GOOD MORNING BOARD MEMBERS.

UM, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH HIM INITIALLY, BUT AFTER IT IS BEEN A FEW MONTHS, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONTACT HIM AGAIN TO SEE WHAT THE DISPOSITION WITH THE PROPERTY WILL BE.
JUST CONFIRM YOU SAID ALL UTILITIES HAVE BEEN CUT.
UH, ALL UTILITIES ARE, THERE'S NO ACTIVE SERVICES ON THE PROPERTY.
[00:40:05]
ANY MORE QUESTIONS? YOU MAY STEP DOWN.MR. MARTIN SALAS, IF YOU CAN PLEASE APPROACH THE PODIUM AND STATE YOUR LAST AND FIRST NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
UH, I LIVE AT, UH, 5 6 4 7 MAYO DRIVE.
UM, THE HOUSE THERE 5 6 4 7 MAYO DRIVE.
THAT WAS MY GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE.
AND, UM, I JUST RECENTLY, UH, GOT DIVORCED AND, AND, AND, AND I CAME DOWN TO SAN ANTONIO.
AND, UM, I SEEN HOW DETERIORATED THE HOUSE WAS.
MY GRANDMOTHER WAS A MOTHER THAT RAISED NINE, NINE CHILDREN ON HER OWN.
IT'S SAD TO SAY THAT ANY OF THOSE NINE KIDS DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE HOME.
I WAS RAISED IN THAT HOME TOO MYSELF.
AND, UM, IT'S, IT'S SAD FOR ME TO SEE THE WAY THE HOUSE IS.
I WORK FOR JEWELS FLOORING AND REMODELING.
I WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRY TO RESTORE THE HOUSE, AT LEAST THE ORIGINAL PART OF THE HOUSE BECAUSE ALL THE ADDITION TO THE HOUSE IS NOT PART OF, YOU KNOW, I I I WOULD LIKE TO, YOU KNOW, IF I CAN GET PERMITS, GET A CONTRACTOR DEMO WHAT HAS BEEN ADDED ONTO THE HOUSE AND JUST REFURBISH THE ORIGINAL PART OF THE HOUSE, WHICH IS THE FRONT PART OF THE HOUSE.
UH, I'VE DONE A LOT OF REMODELING.
I GOT PICTURES OF HOUSES THAT WERE JUST AS BAD AS THAT.
AND WE'VE TURNED AROUND AND WE'VE MADE THEM LOOK GOOD.
I JUST HATE TO SEE IT GET TORN DOWN BECAUSE LIKE I SAY, MY GRANDMOTHER, SHE RAISED NINE CHILDREN ON HER OWN AND SEVERAL GRANDCHILDREN THERE.
AND NOBODY REALLY CARED ABOUT THAT HOUSE.
THE CITY HAS GONE IN THERE ONE TIME PRIOR, YOU KNOW, BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT, I MAINTAINED THE PROPERTY.
THERE'S NOT ANY KIND OF DRUG ACTIVITY GOING ON OR HOMELESS PEOPLE LIVING IN THERE.
UH, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT, UM, AND I'VE BEEN, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO KEEP CONTACT WITH MR. HOSTEL.
I TRIED TO START WORKING ON THE PROPERTY MYSELF.
HE TOLD ME I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING, SO I STOPPED, YOU KNOW.
BUT, UM, AS FAR AS, I'M TRYING TO GET A CONTRACTOR THAT I CAN GET TO GIMME A, A SCOPE OF WORK ON EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, AND THE MAJORITY OF THE WORK TRY TO DO IT MYSELF OUTSIDE OF THE, LIKE, I, I DON'T MESS WITH ELECTRICITY AND, AND THE FOUNDATION, BUT AS FAR AS THE FRAMING, THE REROOFING, THE FLOORS, ALL THAT, THE PLUMBING, AND I, I'M TRYING TO SEE IF I CAN GET TO BE ABLE TO DO ALL THAT AND SAVE LABOR COSTS, YOU KNOW, AND DO IT MYSELF AND, AND A COUPLE OF MY WORK FRIENDS THAT WORK WITH ME.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? YES.
UM, ARE YOU A LICENSED PLUMBER? NO, BUT I'M A A LICENSED IRON WORKER, JOURNEYMAN AND I, I'M GOING MICROPHONE SPEAKING TO MY, I'M SORRY.
I'M A LICENSED IRON WORKER AND I'M GOING TO SCHOOL TO GET, GET MY HVAC TECHNICIAN LICENSE.
I, I ONLY NEED THREE MORE CREDITS TO FINISH SCHOOL.
SO ANY PLUMBING WORK, UM, DONE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS HAS TO BE DONE BY A, A LICENSED FARMER.
AND EACH AREA OF WORK, UH, PERMITS HAVE TO BE PULLED.
DO YOU HAVE ANY STAKE IN THE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROPERTY? UM, I'M IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THAT.
HE TOLD ME THAT HE, TO GET THE PAPERWORK AND HE WOULD DO A QUICK DEED TRANSFER TO THE HOUSE AND, UM, AS SOON AS I CAN, I'M GONNA DO ALL THAT.
AND THEN I GOTTA, BECAUSE HE LIVES IN LOUISIANA AND HE DOESN'T DO A LOT OF TRAVELING AND GET THE PAPERWORK READY AND THEN TAKE IT TO HIM AND HE WOULD DO A, THEY WOULD DO A QUICK DE TRANSFER AND GIVE AND SIGN THE HOUSE OVER TO ME.
AND I'VE SPOKEN TO THE REMAINING FAMILY MEMBERS, WHICH WHEN MY MOM IS ONE OF THEM AND EVERYBODY HAS AGREED TO SIGN THE HOUSE OVER TO ME.
DO YOU HAVE, UH, ANY DOCUMENTATION OF THAT AND NOT ON ME, MA'AM.
DO YOU HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION OF FINANCIAL ABILITY TO DO THIS? JUST MY WORK, YOU KNOW, WHERE I, YOU KNOW, WHERE I WORK AT AS FAR AS, I MEAN IN, IN TERMS OF FINANCES, LIKE DO YOU HAVE A BANK STATEMENT OR, UH, EVEN ON YOUR PHONE, YOUR BANK ACCOUNT SHOWING THAT YOU HAVE THE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO DO THIS? UM, NO, I DON'T, I DON'T HAVE A BANK ACCOUNT.
I'M NOT, YOU KNOW, UM, SIT HERE AND LIE TO YOU ALL ABOUT IT.
AND I, AND THE WEEKS ARE GOOD.
WE'RE REMODELING THIS, UH, RITA'S MEXICAN RESTAURANT OUT THERE ON STONE OAK IN 1604.
WE'RE DOING A COMPLETE REMODELING JOB ON THERE, THERE.
I MEAN, I MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO DO IT AND I'M TRYING TO GET SOME OF, SOME SPONSORS FOR SOME OF THE COMPANIES THAT WE WORK FOR TO DONATE SOME LUMBER TO HELP ME IF EVERYTHING GOES OKAY.
AND THEY, THEY'VE BEEN WILLING, THEY'RE WILLING TO DO THAT AS FAR AS DONATING SOME SHEET ROCK TWO BY FOURS AND, AND, AND THINGS THAT I MIGHT NEED TO, AND THE, AND HELP, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OF HELP.
BUT IF I WOULD GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TIMING, YOU KNOW, TO DO IT, I WOULD LIKE TO TO RESTORE THE HOUSE AND NOT LET IT JUST
[00:45:01]
GO TO WASTE LIKE THAT.EXCUSE ME, SIR, WHERE ARE YOU RECITING RIGHT NOW? I LIVE TWO HOUSES AWAY FROM THERE.
I LIVE WITH, UH, TWO HOUSES BEFORE MAYO.
I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT ADDRESS.
I LIVE WITH, UH, JULIAN VIEJO.
HE DOES, UH, JEWELS FLOORING AND REMODELING.
IT'S TWO HOUSES BEFORE MAYO DRIVE ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE STREET.
ANY MORE QUESTIONS? GO AHEAD AND SIT DOWN, SIR.
BOARD WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION CHAIR, DUANE NELSON.
I MOVE THAT THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5 6 4 7 MAYO AS A PUBLIC NUISANCE PER CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 57, WHICH IS NOT FEASIBLE BEING REPAIRED AT THIS TIME.
IT IS IN VIOLATION OF CITY CODE CHAPTER SIX, ARTICLE EIGHT, SECTION SIX DASH 1 56, SUB CODES 1 2 8 11 12 15, 17, 18, THAT THE PROPERTY SHOULD BE DEMOLISHED IN 30 DAYS.
MOTION ON THE FLOOR IS TO DEMOLISH.
DO I HAVE A SECOND? THIS IS GEORGE CRIMES.
I SECOND THE MOTION AS BEEN SECONDED.
ANY DISCUSSION? I'M CURIOUS BECAUSE IT DOES SHOW EVIDENCE THAT THE PROPERTY IS TIDY AND THERE'S NO ONE ENTERING THE PROPERTY.
AND THE, UM, PROPOSED OWNER IS NEAR ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY KEEP EYES ON THE PROPERTY.
THERE IS A QUESTION ON FUNDING, UM, AND HOW LONG THAT WOULD TAKE, BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ANYONE'S GETTING IN OR GETTING TRASHED AND SOMEONE IS TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROPERTY.
THIS IS, THIS IS, UH, THE CHAIR FRED ANDES.
UM, HE IS ACTUALLY NOT THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
SO AS PROPOSED OWNER OR NOT, IT STILL HAS TO BE SECURED.
SO IT'S ONLY THE REQUEST TO KEEP IT SECURED.
CORRECT? UH, I DID NOT INCLUDE THAT IN MOTION BECAUSE IT'S PRESENTLY APPEARS TO BE PRESENTLY SECURED.
THEREFORE, I DID NOT INCLUDE THAT IN THE MOTION.
SO THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE PROPOSED 'CAUSE WE CAN'T DO THAT.
HE HAS NO ACTUAL TIES TO THE PROPERTY.
IS IT BEYOND THE SCOPE TO ALLOW HIM 10 DAYS TO DO THE DOCUMENTATION SO THAT HE CAN THEN REPRESENT THE PROPERTY THAT IS DIRECT TO LEGAL? YES, PLEASE.
UH, IF THIS BOARD WOULD LIKE TO ENTERTAIN THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE HIM SOME TIME, UM, UH, A RESET WOULD BE APPROPRIATE IN DOING THAT.
UH, IN REGARDS TO, IN REGARDS TO, UM, UM, OWNERSHIP, UH, I DO WANNA MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS OWNERSHIP'S IN THE ESTATE OF, UM, I I I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S NECESSARILY THE NEPHEW OF THE OWNER AS COMPARED TO AS HE STATED.
HE MIGHT BE THE GRANDSON OF THE OWNER.
I, I I I I'M NOT NECESSARILY SURE.
UH, BUT AT THIS TIME, UM, HE DOESN'T OWN THE PROPERTY SO HE CAN'T PULL PERMITS.
SO, UH, THERE'S NOT MUCH HE CAN DO.
UM, IF THIS BOARD WOULD LIKE TO ALLOW HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO, UH, GO THROUGH TITLE AND, AND ALL THAT, THEN UH, THE BOARD HAS THE, THE AUTHORITY AND THE RIGHT TO, UH, RESET THE CASE.
BUT, UM, OTHER THAN THAT, UH, NO.
UH, GIVING HIM 10 DAYS TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION, WOULD THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO DO THAT WOULD'VE BEEN TODAY.
THE, THE PRIMARY CONSIDERATION THAT AT LEAST THIS BOARD MEMBER HAD WAS THE FACT THAT THE COST OF DOING THE REPAIRS PER SE, ARE WAY BEYOND THE TOTAL VALUE OF THE HOME ITSELF.
EVEN IF HE PUT MORE THAN THE VALUE APPRAISED VALUE INTO THE HOME, UH, IT STILL WOULD NOT BE UP TO THE STANDARDS NECESSARY BECAUSE THE TOTAL COST IS JUST GONNA BE EXTRAORDINARILY HIGH.
ANY MORE DISCUSSION? ROLL CALL VOTE.
[00:50:01]
THOMAS FRANKS? NO.MOTION FAILS WITH A VOTE OF THREE TO FOUR TO ZERO? NO.
YOU CAN MAKE A NEW MOTION IF YOU DESIRE.
UM, I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO RESET THE, UM, HEARING TO PROVIDE TIME FOR THE GENTLEMAN WHO SHOWED UP TO DO THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION.
I BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT THAT IF THERE IS A PARTIAL LAND IN SAN ANTONIO THAT SOMEONE CARES ABOUT, THAT THERE'RE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY IF POSSIBLE, TO MAINTAIN, OBTAIN OWNERSHIP, LEGAL OWNERSHIP SO THEY CAN DO REPAIRS AS OPPOSED TO JUST HAVING A PROPERTY ONCE DEMOLISHED, STILL ABANDONED.
I SECOND AND I ALSO HAVE A, UM, FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.
RESET FOR WHAT'S A NORMAL TIMELINE? 30 DAYS.
THE NEXT AVAILABLE HEARING DATE FOR THIS BOARD WOULD BE EITHER DECEMBER THE 12TH OR JANUARY 23RD.
THOSE WOULD BE THE TWO NEXT AVAILABLE DATES, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE DEADLINES, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE FOR NOTIFICATION AND AGENDAS.
SO THOSE ARE THE TWO NEXT DATES AVAILABLE.
WITH THAT, WITH THAT SAID IN THE MOTION, YOU CAN SAY THE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE, WHICH STILL TIES IN A BOX, BUT WHEN YOU SAY ALMOST GIVING 'EM INFINITY, THAT ALLOWS THEM TO TAKE THEIR TIME.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION, UM, TO RESET THE TRIAL TO JANUARY 23RD, UM, TO ALLOW TIME FOR THE GENTLEMAN WHO SHOWED UP WITH INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY TO OBTAIN LEGAL OWNERSHIP, TO PULL PERMITS, UM, SO THAT HE CAN PERMANENTLY, WHICH OBTAIN LEGAL OWNERSHIP TO RE COME BEFORE THE BOARD BASED ON THE IDEA THAT IT'S MUCH BETTER TO HAVE SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT A PIECE OF PROPERTY IN SAN ANTONIO TO TAKE CARE OF IT ACTIVELY AS OPPOSED TO HAVING IT ABANDONED ONCE IT'S DEMOLISHED.
MIRANDA, I SECOND WELL, HOLD ON.
I THAT I DIDN'T QUITE GET IT RIGHT.
'CAUSE LEGAL KIND OF GUT, UH, UH, I I NOTICED THAT YOU GOT A LITTLE, WHEN SHE NAMED A SPECIFIC DATE, I, NO, UH, USUALLY ON THE RESETS IT'S GONNA BE THE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE.
UM, SO WHAT I WAS DOING WAS TALKING WITH JUDY JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE'S OKAY WITH, UH, THE TERMINOLOGY THAT WILL BE USED ON THE UPCOMING ORDER.
I I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE GOOD AND A SECOND.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE A FRIENDLY, UH, YES.
I, I WAS GONNA SAY THE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE AFTER 90 DAYS, UM, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE GONNA HAVE TO SIGN OFF AND IT, IT, IT TAKES A LONG TIME FOR THAT PAPERWORK TO GO THROUGH.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IN 10 DAYS OR A MONTH OR TWO MONTHS.
SO I, I DO WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE GIVE OPPORTUNE TIME AS LONG AS THE BUILDING REMAINS SECURED AND THE PROPERTY REMAINS MAINTAINED AND IT IS RIGHT NOW.
SO WE'VE SEEN EVIDENCE OF THAT.
UH, BEFORE YOU MAKE THAT FRIENDLY, LET ME ASK THIS TO STAFF.
IF WE ORDER THE, THE SPECIFIC DATE AND THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS, STAFF CAN MAKE THE DETERMINATION THAT IT IS IN, WITHIN THAT AREA OF STUFF WE CAN'T CONTROL TO EXTEND OR NO, BEYOND THE 90 DAYS THAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT FOR.
DO WE NEED TO ADD THAT IN THERE BECAUSE IT'S AUTOMATICALLY IN THE SYSTEM? SO I, I WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE CLEAR.
IF THIS BOARD IS GOING TO ASK FOR A RESET, UM, IT'S USUALLY JUST ASKING FOR A RESET INSTEAD OF TRYING TO ASK FOR A SPECIFIC DATE.
I DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS BOARD IS CLEAR THAT IF YOU ARE SETTING THIS AS PRECEDENT, YOU WILL BE DOING THIS WITH EVERY PROPERTY.
THIS IS PRECEDENT THAT YOU'RE SETTING IN THE SENSE THAT, UM, WE HAVE NO OWNERSHIP, WE CAN'T PROVE OWNERSHIP.
WE HAVE A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE IN FRONT OF YOU.
THIS BOARD IS TASKED TO DETERMINE WHETHER THAT STRUCTURE IS, IS DANGEROUS, AND IF IT IS HOW TO ADDRESS IT.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION, YOU CAN RESET IT, BUT, UM, SETTING A PRECEDENT OF RESETTING A CASE JUST TO ALLOW
[00:55:01]
OWNERSHIP TO TAKE, UM, TAKE HOLD, UM, WOULD BE A CONCERN.UM, ESPECIALLY SINCE, UH, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS PROPERTY'S BEEN IN ITS SITUATION, CURRENT STATE FOR QUITE A QUITE A WHILE.
I, AGAIN, I'M NOT STATING THAT YOU SHOULDN'T ALLOW OWNERSHIP TO HAPPEN OR I AM CONCERNED WITH THIS SETTING A PRECEDENT WHERE WE, IF THERE IS NO OWNERSHIPS ESTABLISHED, THIS BOARD, UH, WOULD BE RESETTING CASES 60, 90 DAYS JUST TO ALLOW OWNERSHIP TO ESTABLISH AND NOT MAKE A DETERMINATION AS TO WHETHER THE STRUCTURE THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU IS A DANGEROUS STRUCTURE.
UM, I I, I WOULD LIKE TO, UH, REMIND THE BOARD THAT THIS VERY PANEL HAS DONE THIS PREVIOUSLY ALREADY.
SO IT'S NOT A NEW PRECEDENT, IT'S JUST CONTINUING ONE THAT'S ALREADY BEEN SET.
UM, I, I REMEMBER VERY CLEARLY ALLOWING, UM, OWNERSHIP TO CHANGE HANDS.
UM, ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION.
LEGAL'S GONNA ASK FOR AN EXECUTIVE SESSION I OH TWO AND THE BOARD WILL BE GOING TO, UM, A REQUEST FROM LEGAL FOR AN EXECUTIVE SESSION AND THE DATE IS 14TH NOVEMBER.
AND WE WILL STEP OUT FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION.
THE BOARD IS BACK FROM EXECUTIVE SESSION.
THE TIME NOW IS 10 35 AND NO OFFICIAL ACTION WAS TAKEN IN THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
UM, I DO BELIEVE WE ARE STILL IN DISCUSSION, BUT MR. CHAIR, IF, IF IT'S POSSIBLE, CAN WE HAVE, UM, UH, THE, THE FAMILY'S REPRESENTATIVE COME BACK UP? UM, IS IT NOT THAT WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR AND WE ARE STILL IN DISCUSSION? ARE YOU EXACT, UH, KIND OF SETTING A PRECEDENT THERE? NO.
IF, IF, IF, IF WE WANT TO DO THAT, THAT'S FINE.
HOWEVER, THEY, WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS CORRECT THE RECORD.
UM, IT IS NOT, THE COUNCIL WOULD LIKE TO HAVE, IF THERE IS, UH, INFORMATION, IF THE, I'M NOT GONNA SAY OWNER, BUT THE REPRESENTATIVE, CAN WE CALL HIM THAT FOR RECORD? IF THE REPRESENTATIVE WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK QUESTIONS.
COUNSEL, JUST, JUST ONE QUICK QUESTION.
MR. SOLAS, CAN YOU UM, PLEASE STATE FOR THE RECORD, UM, UH, UH, WHERE YOU RESIDE RIGHT NOW AND WHERE NOTICE, UM, AND INFORMATION CAN BE SENT TO YOU? 56 39 MAYO DRIVE.
BOARD IS DISCUSSION WAS AND TO REFRESH THE RECORD, CAN I MAKE A NEW MOTION? WELL, YES, CHAIR.
WOULD YOU REPEAT THE MOTION FOR THE RECORD? BECAUSE I THINK SOME OF US GOT CAUGHT UP IN A LOT OF OTHER STUFF, SO WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR IT AGAIN.
I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A RESET TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE DATE SO THAT THE OWNER CAN PRESENT DOCUMENTATION OF PROOF OF OWNERSHIP AND PLAN OF SCOPE OF WORK.
AND FOR THE AND FOR THE RECORD, YOU ARE STILL SECONDING IT? YES.
AND WE'VE GONE THROUGH DISCUSSION.
IS THERE ANY MORE DISCUSSION MO UH OH, UH, I DO HAVE THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENTS, UH, THAT GO AHEAD.
IN THE MEANTIME, THE PROPERTY MUST REMAIN SECURED AND, AND MAINTAINED.
DOES THE SECOND ACCEPT? YES, BUT YEAH.
[01:00:01]
AYE.MOTION PASSES WITH THE VOTE OF FOUR TO THREE TO ZERO, SIR, IF YOU'LL GET WITH YOUR CODE COMPLIANCE, HE'LL EXPLAIN.
MR. CHAIR, I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THAT WAS OWNERSHIP AT SCOPE OF WORK, CORRECT? YES.
DID YOU, UH, DID YOU GET THE SECOND, THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT AS WELL? YES SIR.
I DID SECURE HAVE THE PROPERTY SECURED DURING THAT TIME.
MY NAME IS SIR JOE QUINTANILLA, DANGERS PREMISES OFFICER FOR THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT.

THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION FOR 1 5 0 7 SOKOTO STREET.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION FOR LEGAL
UM, OUTTA CURIOSITY, THIS IS PURELY CURIOSITY.
ISN'T THERE A CERTAIN SIZE FOR AN ACCESSORY, ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS THAT DO NOT HAVE TO BE PERMITTED? YES.
I WANNA SAY IT'S 300 SQUARE FEET.
UM, THERE IS A, UH, MINIMUM THAT 300 FOOT COMES INTO PLAY.
IF IT'S ONLY BEING USED FOR STORAGE, THE MINUTE THERE'S ANYTHING THAT'S GONNA BE DWELLING, THERE ARE, THERE ARE PERMITS REQUIRED NO MATTER WHAT.
AND THAT'S FOR SAFETY AND WHATNOT.
UM, FOR INSPECTIONS, UH, IF THERE'S ANY ELECTRICAL BEING PLACED IN THE STRUCTURE, NO MATTER THE SIZE, THERE'S GONNA BE PERMITS REQUIRED.
IF THERE'S ANY MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT BEING INSTALLED, THERE'S PERMITS REQUIRED.
SO IT'S, IT'S A VERY MUCH YES OR NO QUESTION DEPENDING ON THE SPECIFICS OF EACH.
SO IN THIS ONE, THE ONE, THE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT WITH THE SHOWER WOULD'VE REQUIRED A PERMIT.
HOWEVER, THE OTHER ONE IS PROBABLY LESS THAN 300 SQUARE FEET CORRECT.
WITHOUT ELECTRICAL AND IS NOT ILLEGALLY BUILT, ALTHOUGH POORLY BUILT.
THANK YOU FOR CLARIFICATION, MR. CHAIRMAN.

UM, I HAVE A CONFLICT ON DECEMBER 5TH.
THANK YOU THAT WE WILL NOTE THAT
[01:15:04]
JUDY, FOR THE, UM, NOVEMBER 20TH MEETING, DO WE KNOW IF WE HAVE A QUORUM YET? I I DON'T THINK THAT'VE SENT THAT EMAIL OUT YET.I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE WE CAN CHECK WITH EMILY REYES ON THAT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A QUORUM.
THAT'S OH YEAH, NO, THERE'S, THERE'S SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT GONNA BE THERE.
UH, YEAH, THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING IF WE CAN GO AHEAD SO THAT IF WE NEED TO, WE CAN PULL.
WELL, I DON'T, WELL WE REALLY CAN'T PULL, UM, BUT I KNOW DWAYNE'S NOT GONNA BE THERE.
UM, MR. ANDES, YOU'RE ALSO TENTATIVE.
YEAH, MINE IS TENTATIVE BASED OFF THE CONDITION OF MY MOM.
SO THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO, I GUESS FIND OUT BEFORE IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN WE'RE ALSO GONNA NEED A NEW DATE SET.
AND WE DID TALK ABOUT THAT BEFORE ABOUT TIMES AND STUFF.
SO THAT WOULD GIVE EVERYBODY TIME TO FIGURE IF WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO HAVE THIS ROOM OR NOT, OR IF IT'S GONNA BE, I DO BELIEVE WE MET UPSTAIRS ONE TIME.
DO WE STILL HAVE THAT AVAILABLE? UM, MR. CHAIRMAN, I GOT A QUESTION, LEGAL QUESTION FOR YOU SIR.
IF WE ARE AT THE END, ALL WE ARE IS GOOD REVIEWING THREE, UM, FIVE, THREE ITEMS THAT WERE TABLED, CAN THOSE THREE ITEMS NOT BE PUSHED UP TO THE FULL BOARD? UM, OR DOES IT HAVE TO STAY ON THE TASK? BECAUSE IF THOSE THREE WERE VERY SMALL, UM, AND WE WENT THROUGH EVERYTHING ELSE, YEAH, IT'S GONNA STAY, IT'S GONNA HAVE TO STAY ON THE TASK.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, I'M CHANNELING MY INNER SAVITA AND THINKING WHAT WOULD SHE SAY? YEAH, IT'S GONNA STAY ON THE TASKS.
UNFORTUNATELY, WHAT'S FUNNY IS IF I, IF I WASN'T CHANNELING MY INNER SAVITA, I WOULD SAY YEAH, GO AHEAD AND MOVE IT TO THE FULL BOARD.
BUT CHANNELING THE INNER SAVITA.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND UM, STAY ON TASK ON THAT.
UM, JUDY, IF YOU CAN CHECK WITH THE TWO COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS WELL, UH, THAT WAY WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE WILL ALL BE THERE.
WELL ENOUGH WILL BE THERE TO FINISH THOSE LAST THREE ITEMS. WILL DO.
ONE LAST LEGAL QUESTION AND THIS IS ACTUALLY A GOOD ONE.
SO IN A TASK FORCE LIKE THAT SAY THAT WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MEMBERS TO, TO DO QUORUM, CAN ADDITIONAL BOARD MEMBERS BE ADDED TO THAT TASK FORCE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE QUORUM OR DOES IT HAVE TO STAY WITH THE INDIVIDUALS ON THAT? I'M GONNA SAY IT'S GONNA HAVE TO STAY WITH THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ON IT.
JUDY, I THINK THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ALTERNATES AND I WOULD HAVE TO ASK, BUT I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW IF THOSE ALTERNATES THAT WE HAVE WOULD MAKE THE QUORUM.
THERE STILL ARE TWO ALTERNATES.
AND IF YOU CAN NOTIFY THEM AND AGAIN, THAT WOULD BE DETERMINED IF THEY CAN DO OR CANNOT MAKE THE MEETING.
WASN'T DWAYNE AN ALTERNATE? NO.
HE'S ON IT WAS, UM, WHO ARE THE ALTERNATES? YES, WE DO HAVE TWO ALTERNATES FOR THE SUBCOMMITTEE.
MS. ETTE SHREEN AND MS. ANN WEINER.
INITIALLY WE HAD THREE, BUT WE DID, UM, THEY MADE A MOTION TO MAKE MR. NELSON A PERMANENT MEMBER.
SO YEAH, COULD, WE COULD CHECK IN WITH THE ALTERNATES FOR THOSE LAST THREE ITEMS AS WELL.
AND THEN NATURALLY, CAN YOU TEXT ME THAT BECAUSE YOU KNOW MY EMAIL DOESN'T WANT TO RECEIVE FROM YOU GUYS, BUT IT'LL RECEIVE EVERY OTHER CITY ORDINANCE OR AGENCY OUT THERE.
AND YOU HAVE ANY MORE BUSINESS LEGAL FRONT DESK, BACK DESK.
YOU GUYS GOT ANYTHING FOR US? NO.
I THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR MEETING.
UM, BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT, WE ARE ADJOURNED.
DOES THE BOARD HAVE ANYTHING OTHER THAN BY UNANIMOUS HERE WE ARE ADJOURNED.
