(MAUGER PROPERTY, 2173 CALIFORNIA STREET TO THE HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING: The Board of Appeals of the City of Redding has held a public hearing on May 27, 1976, in the City Hall of the City of Redding to consider the abatement of unsafe and unsightly buildings on property at 2173 California Street in the City of Redding, under the provisions of Chapter 15, Article V, of the Redding City Code. The findings of the Board of Appeals in regard to said nuisance are as follows: 1. That the real property which is the subject of this proceeding is more particularly described as follows: The south 25 feet of Lot 5 and the north 25 feet of Lot 6, Block B, Walden's Addition, as shown on the map of Frisbie's, Walden's and Honn's Additions to the Town of Redding, recorded October 14, 1887, in Book 1 of Town Plats at page 34. 2. That the legal owners of said property are Carl R. Mauger and Ella I. Mauger. 3. That the Council adopted Resolution No. 76-24, a Resolution of Intention to begin legal proceedings of abatement under Chapter 15 of the Redding City Code, as to the subject property, on March 1, 1976. 4. That jurisdiction has been obtained by the posting of the required notices upon the property, and by the mailing by certified mail of notices to Carl R. Mauger and Ella I. Mauger at their last known address. 5. That a residential building or buildings exist on the subject property which constitute a dangerous, unhealthy and unsightly condition on the property. 6. At the hearing of the Board of Appeals on May 27, 1976, testimony was given by the Assistant Fire Marshal concerning the condition of the subject building. The property owner and.his,real- tor asked for a continuance so that he might have time to sell the property. In view of the dangerous condition of the building, the Board refused such a continuance. No other persons appeared to protest these proceedings. 7. After hearing the testimony as to the unsafe condition of the building and the property owner indicating that he felt it was unpractical to put any money into the building, it is the unanimous finding of the Board of Appeals that good and sufficient cause does not exist why the unsafe and unsightly buildings located on the Carl R. Mauger property at 2173 California Street should not be demolished and removed, and it is the recommendation of the Board of Appeals that said unsafe and unsightly buildings on said property be abated by demolition and removal by the Fire Marshal in the manner which he, in his discretion, considers most economical.
