Public Hearing - Proposed Abatement of Nuisance, 124 Lincoln Avenue (702 -11) Report: Building Official 8/4/87 Affidavits of Notice of Mailing and of Posting are on file. At the request of City Attorney Schricker, Building Official LaTorra, Building Inspector Schnell and Albert E. Davies were sworn with regard to testimony to be given at the hearing Mr. LaTorra and Mr. Schnell presented the subject report using slides depicting the conditions on the property. Mr. LaTorra noted that only the structures in the rear currently being used as three living units are proposed to be demolished. Mr. Schnell stated for the record that with regard to item 3. in his letter of August 3 to Mr. LaTorra, that less than 50% of the property is covered by buildings rather than the 85% mentioned and that all other zoning and building code violations have been verified and are accurate. Vice Mayor Chandler declared the public hearing open at 8:54 p.m. Albert H. Davies, 1101 E1 Camino Real, owner of the subject property, said that if the structures being used for housing are razed that adequate, comfortable, low income housing will be lost, suggesting that those occupying it have been accustomed to less. Mr. Davies acknowledged the buildings do not have proper foundations and need painting, but said it would be practical to retain the substandard units. Mr. Davies requested that he be permitted to have the buildings vacated by the end of August and then retain someone to determine if the buildings can be made habitable for tennants, sand that when the determination is made, he would report back to Council. Vice Mayor Chandler invited anyone else present who wished to speak to do so. No one wished to speak. M /S: Britschgi /Bury to close the public hearing.
