Township Street RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of the Resolution ordering the Razing and Removal of a dilapidated and unsafe structure located at 515 E. Township Street. BACKGROUND Service Request# 126792, Case# 17190: Code Compliance responded to a request concerning the structure located at 515 E. Township Street. The structure appeared to be in violation of Subsection 173.09(A), Unsafe Buildings, of the City Code of Ordinances. The Chief Building Official inspected the property and determined that the structure was in violation of Subsection 173.09(A), Unsafe Buildings, of the City Code of Ordinances. Specifically, the Chief Building Official observed: House is beyond effective repair; roof has holes, sheetrock wet and falling. Cost to repair and bring to current codes exceeds value of structure. On April 12, 2013, an Unsafe Building Notice of Violation was hand delivered to the property owner,Aaron Mahan. By ordinance,the property owner was given until May 13,2013 to acquire a building permit or to raze and remove the structure. On July 2, 2013, a Notice of Public Hearing was hand delivered to the property owner informing him of the August 6, 2013 Public Hearing. DISCUSSION This parcel contains a 1,295 square foot single family dwelling. The structure is not secured and has deteriorated to a point where it is no longer safe. There is not a current building permit on this structure. BUDGETIMPACT If the property owner does not comply with the Raze and Removal order, Raze and Removal costs will be expensed to current budget. A Lien will be placed on the property for the incurred costs. The current budget balance is a result of other raze and removal addresses that were corrected by the property owners. Therefore,we will not be requesting a budget adjustment for this raze and removal.

The payment of bonds would be extended for 25 years at the same total principal and interest payment amount as currently made annually. Therefore,the current amounts paid for debt service would remain the same. To accomplish this, the voters would be asked to approve three questions on the ballot. Question one would request approximately$1,500,000 in new bonds to refund the current outstanding bonds. Question two would request$6,900,000 in new bonds to fund a portion of an expansion to the Walton Arts Center. The final request would be to approve $3,500,000 of new bonds to fund certain improvements to the Regional Park. Specifically baseball/softball fields, soccer fields and related facilities at the Regional Park would be partially funded. It is important to understand this is not a new tax. It would not cost the taxpayer any more money. RECOMMENDATION: The administration recommends the approval of this ordinance to call for a special election on November 12, 2013 to decide the above questions.
