During a recent inspection it has been noticed that you: Have Weeds and/or Grass on your property that exceeds the height allowed by city ordinance. In an effort to beautify Grapevine and reduce fire hazards the City has an ordinance regulating high weeds and grass, trash, brush, dead trees and other unsightly matter. Ordinance only allows weeds and grass to grow to a height of 6 inches in your area. Therefore to comply with this violation, you must cut your weeds and grass below 6 inches. A review of the tax rolls shows that you are the person in charge of the property in question. The purpose of this letter is to provide you with notice that ten days is being allowed from receipt of this letter to cut and remove, or cause to be cut and removed any grass, weeds, plants, rubbish, dead trees and brush necessary to comply with Section 12-111 of the City's Code of Ordinances. A copy is enclosed for your review. While it is anticipated that your cooperation in this matter will not require the City to take any additional actions, Section 12-111 does authorize the Code Enforcement Division to enter the property and take actions necessary to bring it into compliance with the ordinance requirements. In accordance with Section 12-111 of the Grapevine Code of Ordinances, the city is obligated to give notice only once annually and this letter shall serve as the required annual notice. If you have any questions or concern, you may contact the Code Enforcement Officer. Thank you for your consideration in working with the City of Grapevine concerning this matter.

NEW BUSINESS CAS i, ,i DANIEL R. JOHNSON. The Building Board of Appeals considered BBA06-03 submitted by Daniel R. Johnson for property located at 2429 Stone Myers Parkway and platted as Lot 1, Block 1, Stone Myers Addition. The request was to Grapevine Code of Ordinances, Chapter 7, Article IV, Fences: Section 7-127, Fences, Front Yard Requirements, requires fences constructed in a required or established front yard to be 36 inches or less in height, and of at least 50 percent through vision. Scott Williams explained that Staff recommended the Building Board of Appeals approve the applicant's request to construct an eight -foot (8') vinyl coated chain link fence that exceeded 36 inches in height, with more than 50 percent through vision, in the established front yard. Mr. Williams stated that Staff found a special condition for this request, while this fence was in fact in the established front yard, the building was set back approximately 200 - feet from the front property line; far more than the 30 -feet required. Additionally, the fence itself would be setback 80 -feet from the front property line, at the closest point. With no further questions for Mr. Williams, Mr. Daniel Johnson, representing International Airport Centers took the Oath of Truth and requested favorable consideration of his request and offered to answer any questions of the Board. With no questions for Mr. Johnson, and no additional speakers, Michael Shupp made a motion to close the public hearing. Dennis Roberts seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Lipscomb, Roberts, Shupp, Sklar, Hardister, Kidd, Wasielewski Nays: None Absent: Hallman Michael Shupp made a motion that a special condition existed. Specifically, the building was set back approximately 200 -feet from the front property line; far more than the 30 - feet required.

Scott Williams explained that Staff recommended the Building Board of Appeals determine the property to be a dangerous building pursuant to Chapter 7, Article ll, of the Grapevine Code of Ordinances and recommended the Board to require the property to be repaired or demolished. 2 Building Board of Appeals 11/13/06 Mr. Williams explained that all property owners within 200 feet as well as the owners of the property were notified according to tax records. Mr. Williams further explained that the owner would have thirty (30) days from the action of the Board, and if the work was not completed within the thirty (30) day period, the Board could report the act of noncompliance to the City Attorney for an injunction to be filed in district court. Following such action, the city would hire a contractor to demolish the structure, and place a lien on the property to cover cost of demolition and associated administrative fees. Mr. Williams stated that the structure was dilapidated and uninhabitable. It had no water or electric service. It was inadequately weather protected, was structurally unsound and unsanitary. Code Enforcement Officers had on numerous occasions, observed an occupant present, who was apparently residing in the structure in violation of the posted order to vacate. Joe Lipscomb asked Mr. Williams if staff had any other contact with the property owners other than by mail. Mr. Williams stated that staff had discussions with the occupant of the residence, however in accordance with city ordinance staff had mailed out certified letters to property owners listed on the last approved tax rolls per advise of City Attorney. With no further questions for Mr. Williams, Ms. Marie Moore, stated that all property owners were deceased, she explained that the property had belonged to her grand mother and all of her children were deceased. The property now belonged to many grandchildren; she stated that one of those grandchildren currently lived in the residence. She further explained that he had no job, nor finances to improve the property. She expressed concern that if he were evicted from the residence he would have no place to go. Joe Lipscomb explained to her that if the Board found the property to be a Dangerous Building they would have the option to demolish or repair it. He asked if the other grandchildren had given the property over to him, she stated no, that he just lived there. Michael Shupp asked what type of support he would have from his family to either help him bring the house up to a level that was acceptable or someplace for him to live if the house were demolished. She stated none, which was why he lived there. Jerrold Sklar asked if the occupant or any family had inquired about any local or state services, she stated that she was not aware of anything that had been done. She stated that she was there out of concern for the property and wanted to see what would become of the house. Joe Lipscomb informed Ms. Moore that if the Board found the property to be a Dangerous Building a lien would be placed on the property. She stated that nobody had any money and taxes had not been paid on the property either. Mr. Williams confirmed 3 Building Board of Appeals 11/13/06 that the Board was correct regarding a lien on the property and also verified that taxes had not been paid on the property since 1994. With no further questions for Ms. Moore, and no additional speakers, Michael Shupp made a motion to close the public hearing. Dennis Luers seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Lipscomb, Roberts, Shupp, Sklar, Hardister, Kidd, Wasielewski Nays: None Absent: Hallman Michael Shupp made a motion that the Board request the City Attorney to seek an injunction for the demolition of this dangerous building, located at 414 Jones Street, legally described as Abstract 946, Tract 30102, Leonard Archibald Survey, Russell Kidd seconded the motion which prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Lipscomb, Roberts, Shupp, Sklar, Hardister, Kidd, Wasielewski Nays: None Absent: Hallman MINUTES Next for the Board to consider was the minutes of the September 12, 2006 Briefing Session and Public Hearing.

This case was brought to the Building Board of Appeals at the November 13, 2006 meeting. The Board determined the structure to be a dangerous building, and ordered demolition or repair within 30 days. Since that time, no effort has been made to repair or demolish the structure. The vacant residence remains in a dilapidated condition, is structurally unsound, and constitutes a nuisance in accordance with Chapter 7, Article II, Section 7-27 of the Grapevine Code of Ordinances. Staff urges the Board to forward this case to the City Attorney. Injunctive relief will be sought, and the city will demolish the structure. A lien will be placed on the property for the work performed as well as all administrative fees. A judgment will then be pursued to recover the costs.
