5. Cost break comparison. . This was provided in the 10/15/01 request for City Council discussion/direction, however, the actual numbers will vary after having met with the contractor to clarify work. Also, two items from the contractor are estimates: o Roof plywood replacement is a square footage price as just how much plywood requires replacement is unknown (replacing first row of plywood on entire structure would be approximately $825). o Draining the pool of stagnant water, mud, dead animals and cattails as well as trimming back brush (mainly to gain access to structure to work on it) is estimated at $2360. This we could cut off at any point of our choosing (this item was included in original abatement hearing). 6. Why does this property require the significant step of abatement by the city? . The structure is in advanced state of deterioration, including: o Some building soffits are falling off of the home. o Deteriorated roofing is allowing water into all soffits with resultant damage and rot. o Paint is worn/peeling off siding, trim and windows allowing these elements to rot and decompose. o Holes have been chewed into soffits with the likelihood of squirrels in the attic doing more damage. o A light fixture has fallen from rotted support members. o Birds have made holes in the siding. o A rear door was broken off its hinges allowing entry to the porch. o An outbuilding is sliding off of its foundation. o One dead animal is floating in the pool with the likelihood of others at the bottom (the 5' security fence is intact). o Broken storm windows/frames are off and leaning against the home. 7. Miscellaneous . Two other bids were higher by approximately 15-20%. . Chosen contractor is licensed and has no outstanding unresolved complaints registered with the Commerce Department. . Homeowner continues to avoid contact with City staff. . Repairs will protect the homeowner's investment. Q:ComDev/Planning Files/Pf3200/l661 Stanbridge _113101 Update 2
