This property was brought before the Board for the first time at the May 2, 2005, hearing.  It was presented again on August 1, 2005, and then again on November 7, 2005.  At the November 7th hearing, Ms. Barbara Shugart, the daughter of the deceased owner, was present to represent the property.  At that meeting, a motion was made and approved to allow thirty days to mow, remove the overgrowth and debris from the property, remove the shed, repair the porch and then reappear at the December 5, 2005, hearing with an update on the property and the status of the ownership issue.

There have been no changes to the property.  The premises have not been mowed; no repairs have been made to the porch; the shed is still on the site and is unsecured and open.  Ms. Shugart has not made contact with Central Inspection staff since the November Board meeting.  Additionally, there is a broken window in the front of the structure.  

A motion was made by Board Member Coonrod to recommend the property to the City Council for demolition, with ten days to start and ten days to complete demolition.  Board Member Harder seconded the motion.  The motion passed unanimously.  (Board Member Hartwell was not present for the vote.)

With no other business to discuss, Board Member Harder made a motion to adjourn the meeting.  The motion was seconded by Board Member Coonrod.  The motion passed, unopposed.   

The meeting was adjourned at 1:36 p.m.
