The City Manager reported that the City received certified mail return receipts on

Margaret Jones appeared and distributed copies of a letter dated December 11, 1995
to the Commission, and stated she had nothing to say other than what she wrote.
Brooks Parsons, 5046 Eastwinds Drive, Orlando, appeared on behalf of Warner
Brothers/Rosewood Project and reported that Warner Brothers is building two (2) towns from
scratch and Code Enforcement had been assisting them in finding available buildings. Warner
Brothers has an agreement with Ms. Jones which gives them 45 days to remove her houses. Mr.
Parsons had two concerns: 1) Would his company have enough time to remove the buildings
before their proposed December 18th demolition; and 2) Could Warner Brothers receive a waiver
of the dump fees for the eight (8) or nine (9) houses that they're moving but aren't going
to use? Their deadline for complete removal of the houses is January 10, 1996.
City Manager reported that his recommendation is to give the owner until January
10, 1996, or 30 days from today to repair or demolish, which fits Warner Brothers time frame.
City Attorney reported that the City cannot waive the dump fees, which are imposed
by the County.
On recommendation of the City Manager, Commissioner Howell moved that finding the
structure in Report %95-01, above, to be unsafe, dilapidated, unsanitary or uninhabitable,
that said structure be condemned and the owner given thirty (30) days to repair or demolish;
if property owner fails to effect such demolition and removal or repair within said thirty
(30) day period, the City shall demolish and remove the building and/or structure, and the
actual cost of said removal and disposal, including administrative costs, will be assessed
as a lien against the property. Further, that structures in Reports %95-02 through %95-14,
above, are found to be unsafe, dilapidated, unsanitary or uninhabitable, and to Condemn said
structures and give the owner thirty (30) days to either (1) demolish and/or remove the
structures or (2) obtain permits to repair and begin repair and document repair by/through
City Staff; if the owner fails to do either (1) or (2) within thirty (30) days, the City is
authorized to demolish and/or remove the structures, and the actual cost of said removal and
disposal, including administrative costs, will be assessed as a lien against the property;
further, this is the City's final action.
