Raze and Removal 265 West Nonnamaker Drive: A resolution to order the razing and removal
of a dilapidated and unsafe structure on property owned by Harold and Rosetta Harmon located at
265 West Nonnamaker Drive in the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and to approve a budget
adjustment. At the May 16, 2017 City Council Meeting this resolution was tabled to the June 6,
2017 City Council Meeting.
Mayor Jordan opened the Public Hearing.
David Carver, Code Compliance Administrator gave a brief description of the resolution.
Matthew Cabe, City Building Official presented images illustrating the dilapidated structure.
Alderman La Tour stated his concerns about acting too quickly when a homeowner is making a
small effort. He requested to know who is doing the repairs.,. .
Matthew Cabe: I don't know who is doing the repairs.
Alderman La Tour: You admit there are repairs being made?
Matthew Cabe: We know that some paint has been put on the home and a new roof has been
installed incorrectly.
Alderman La Tour: It tells me that somebody cares about it. It's not like it is abandoned and
they don't care. They are making some effort.
Matthew Cabe: I don't disagree. However the house doesn't meet the minimum standards for
inhabitability as dictated by building code and standard housing code.
Alderman La Tour: Is anyone living in the house?
Matthew Cabe: Thankfully, no.
Alderman La Tour: Maybe they are working toward habitability.
Matthew Cabe: We have had numerous meetings with the homeowner regarding his permit
application. He has been given two and a half pages of comments of issues that we think need to
be addressed and need to be articulated in his application. He hasn't been able to provide
satisfactory information.
Alderman La Tour: How did he respond at those meetings?
Matthew Cabe: I wasn't present at those meetings. From what I understand he was willing to
perform what was requested. We haven't gotten the required information in order to issue a
building permit. I don't believe he took issue with much of what was proposed.

Alderman La Tour: He wasn't evasive or hard to get along with?
Matthew Cabe: The one meeting I had with him, he was not evasive or hard to get along with. I
felt like he didn't understand the scope of the repairs that would be required and the necessary
effort to get this house to a minimum standard of inhabitability.
Alderman La Tour: Does he have a source of income?
Matthew Cabe: I believe he is a landlord, but not real sure. He owns basically all the structures
on and around Nonnamaker Drive. It is one large parcel with eight to ten structures.
Alderman La Tour spoke about relative housing standards. He stated he is hesitant to go into a
situation where a citizen is showing some effort.
Mayor Jordan asked if the owner was at the City Council meeting and it was confirmed that he
was not.
Alderman Petty: It is clear that the house needs some repairs. Are we iring them to bring the
home up to date in terms of the codes we have on the books today or are we making reasonable
accommodations for the age of the structure?
Matthew Cabe: Reasonable accommodations. We are willing to work with them and get to
minimum standards of inhabitability.
Alderman Petty: We should communicate to the owner by action of the Council that we are
serious. We could table this for two weeks. If there's reasonable efforts to address the concerns of
the Building Department as reported back to us, then great and if there is not, then I am ready to
vote to condemn and raze it.
Don Marr, Chief of Staff: This is complaint driven by an individual who was living in the
location. He made a complaint about all the problems and the lack of responsiveness from the
owner. Our primary request has been to do something, come see us, do a permit. We have walked
through the items that needed to be in the permit. We have had a lack of responsiveness from the
owner. This was on the agenda two weeks ago when the owner was here. He asked for it to be
tabled to this meeting so he could come back and present to you. There are other structures on this
site that we would be concerned about. Some may be as bad as the one we are talking about today.
Alderman Bunch: There are no people living in it at this time. Someone filed a complaint with
the city?
Matthew Cabe stated yes and reiterated what Don Marr said.
Alderman Bunch: I would be in favor of giving this guy a couple more weeks. I suspect it is
going to be a generous offer and not change anything. My concern with this is that he hasn't kept
this house in a livable condition and has made money off of people who can't afford to live

somewhere else or has bad credit. I don't want to allow this person to continue to take advantage
of people by not providing a livable structure to rent.
Alderman Marsh: I hate to see us lose these Ozarks Heritage structures. However, the condition
of this house is appalling and it is a significant safety hazard. The electrical service is a fire hazard
and someone could burn to death in this home. Due to the dilapidation, it is probably rampant with
mold. Someone could fall through the porch or bathrooms. The high utility bills would more than
offset the savings of cheap rent. We should set an example regarding the other structures on this
property that they need to be maintained if he intends to rent them to people. He has had a
significant amount of time already. We tabled it last time and I can't see him making enough of a
difference in the next two weeks.
Alderman Petty: Did he give a reason for not being here tonight?
Matthew Cabe: I haven't had any contact with him.
Don Marr: We have had no correspondence with him since last City Council meeting. We have
attempted in hopes of getting a permit filed for work improvement. Some of the repairs he has
attempted have been without a permit. It was clearly communicated to him about needing to be
permitted to do the work.
Alderman La Tour: When this homeowner came before us he had health issues. That is why he
asked us to wait. It could be why he is not here tonight. I would be in favor of giving him two more
weeks.
Alderman Petty moved to approve the resolution and then decided he would rather table the item
for two weeks. Alderman Marsh had seconded the motion for approval. Alderman Petty withdrew
his motion to approve, but Alderman Marsh chose to not withdraw her second. A procedural
discussion followed about tabling and approving resolutions.

Solid Waste Committee voted 4-0 in favor to forward the item to the City Council with a
recommendation of approval.

for Council to grant access to the sewer line for the property.
Alderman Marsh: Who is providing the trash and recycling services to this street?
Larry Long: The city.
Alderman Marsh: Fire service?
Larry Long: The city on the city side, but not on the county side.
Alderman Marsh: Who maintains the road?
Larry Long: That is a question I have been trying to address with the city and the county for the
last 25 years. Starr Drives goes in and out of being city and county at various positions over the
first mile. It has continued to be an issue and I wish it would be resolved.
Alderman Marsh: All the services are already there. We are just allowing them to tap into the
existing sewer line. We are not adding to the burden of maintenance for our city.
Larry Long: All of the utilities except for sewer are on the property.
Alderman Kinion: This is an exception. We are not generally going to allow hook ups that are
outside of city limits. This is an unusual situation because of the location of the sewer main and
manhole. It is not to set a precedent to anyone else that we are going to allow future development
outside of the city limits.

Upon roll call the resolution passed 7-0. Alderman Long, Gray, Marsh, Kinion, Petty,

coffee shops. Some people want it to be just a residential neighborhood. We shouldn't impose our
personal preferences. I don't want to hold it.
Alderman Marsh: This is an economic development issue. We need more services and jobs in
that area. This is a large corner lot in a high traffic corridor.
Alderman Gray: I agree we need to hold it. I am surprised that we do not have any residents here
speaking. We have had several calls about this area.
Mayor Jordan: Keep in mind Council that you don't have to pass these all in one evening.
This ordinance was left on the Second Reading
