The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS <br /> <br />Mr. Fritsinger reported on the progress being made regarding the demolition of the property at <br />1900 Edgewater. The property owner has a 10-day grace period to obtain a demolition permit <br />and proceed with the demolition, or this matter will be brought to court. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst inquired what was to be done with this site after the demolition has been <br />completed. Mr. Fritsinger stated the owners wish to demolish the home but leave the foundation <br />in place at this time, for possible rebuilding. He stated City inspectors will be required to inspect <br />the foundation and basement walls. Mr. Fritsinger stated action will have to be taken at that time <br />to safeguard the area from being entered. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hicks inquired if the floors could remain after the demolition was complete, <br />thereby barring entry to the basement level. Mr. Ringwald stated the entire structure must be <br />removed to facilitate a proper inspection. <br /> <br />Councilmember Keirn inquired how long the property owners have to commence demolition <br />once the permit is pulled. Mr. Fritsinger stated this must be done in the next ten days. <br /> <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> <br />Councilmember Hicks thanked Staff for the excellent work done in preparing and carrying out <br />the recent Town Hall Meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst also expressed his appreciation to Staff, adding he was surprised by the turnout, <br />estimated at approximately 100 people. <br /> <br />Councilmember Malone thanked Staff for their work on the Town Hall Meeting also. <br />
