it chose to do so. He said the owner would have 30 days to apply for a building e permit, and the City could demolish the building if no application were made within that period. He explained the choice of the corrective measure was up to the staff in order to compare the cost of correction with the cost of demolition. In response to a question, Mr. Reed said the resolution would take precedence if the owner obtained a building permit but did not take any action. He said staff would expect the owner to make timely progress in terms of the time line estab- lished and that staff would fall back on the resolution if such progress were not made. Mr. Sercombe said the permit application was tied to the power to demolish, stating that if the corrections were not made by October 27, 1983, as set forth in the resolution, the City could perform the work and place a lien on the building. He said the City could demolish the building if the owner did not apply for a building permit, but staff would have to ask the council for a demolition authorization if the permit had been obtained. In response to a question, Mr. Reed said he did not know if the building would qualify as a potential rehabitation loan. He said he had informed the owner to investigate this option with the Eugene Development Department. Mr. Sercombe said he did not believe the property would fall within the HUD guidelines for properties needing rehabilitation. In response to a question, Mr. Sercombe said that there were not enough cases to set a specific time frame for returning action to the council if the owner did not correct the deficiencies. He said that the issue would probably be brought back to the council if no action had been taken by the owner by January I, 1984. e Mayor Keller commented that there appeared to be enough stopgaps in the process to allow the owner time to take appropriate action, although not as much time as the owner would have had when the process began in 1981. He said it was reasonable to expect appropriate action to take place. Res. 3804--A resolution ordering the abatement of the building located at 1862 Kincaid Street. Ms. Schue moved, seconded by Mr. Obie, to adopt the resolution. Roll call vote; the motion carried unanimously; 5:0. The meeting was adjourned to October 12, 1983, at 11:05 p.m. (Recorded by Thorn Strunk) TS:ce/CM7al - MINUTES--Eugene City Council October 10, 1983 Page 20
