That immediately after it was announced the building w�uld not be purchased by the County, anoth-er inspection of the.bui�ding was made, and finding that it had de- teriorated further and w.as a fire hazard to the surrounding properties and dangerous to human habitation, it was posted against occupancy and certified letters of condemnation se�nt to the owners. ' � . ��. The property owners had then petitioned for, a hearing before the Appeals Board, and Mr. Fisher had requested an 18 month extension of time, property owners then to either demolish the building or repair it. Tour of inspection by the Appeals Board was held on February 13th, hearing held on the 17th. It was the unanimous recommendation that the board adopt the recommendations of the buildirig inspector and fire marshal and recommend to the City Council that an extension of time be granted to the owners of the Del .Monte.A.partments only if the alteratians to the building are made covering the deficier�cies_as stated in the letter of Ap�ril 8, 1954 from the Division of Housing and the staff recommendations dated February 11, 1959, and subject to the approval of the State of California Division of Housing and the City of Redding building official, and the building to be vacated during the remodeling. Jack Presl.eigh appeared before Council protesting the type -treatment he had re- ceived from the building inspector and fire marshal, stating he had lived in this area all his life, owned considerable property and certainly did not intend to not fulfill his obligations; that building had been posted with notices to vacate before he was given the courtesy of a personal visit to notify him of the City's intentions; that the state of deterioration of the building was no greater now than in 1949; that re- sidents paid from $25. 00 to not more than $48. 00 per month for rent, and many receiving pensions of $85. 00_a��month were unable �to pay rent in excess of the $25e 00. Mr. Presleigh said he had been a 11/bth owner of the building, however now owned 25%; that the Appeals Board had not recommended that building be vacaxedduring the alteration period; that the eighteen month extension requested was to allow Mr. Fisher who owed $4, 000, and he and his sister who owed $Z, 000 each, to pay off ,., .. . _ . . . . ...... the $8, 000 mortgage still owing on the property. � � � He was now asking council consideration: , 1. 18 month extension of time�then to either voluntaril}� dexnolish b.uildin,g or improve it Z. Six month extension to Sept. l, 1959; City to then decide how long owners would have to demolish, or repair Z 66 Fire Marshal -Wade stated from the Fire Departmentes angle, there was,an, ' , obligation to the.people to protect. them from unnecessary hazards;,,,and that .� he was strongly in favor of having the building removed. The hallways run completely through the buildings with no fire stops; the upstairs is unprotected, and while,;there is a front and back entrance to the building, the porches have open roof` to the attic and constituted a r.eal fire hazard. He then stated while the City had,a, good fire record with no serious fires, it was the opinion of the department and the Chief that the longer action was put off the wor se it would--� become and that he was not in favor of the rehabilitation of the building� Jack Penix stated he would favor the .second suggestion of Mr, Presleigh's, allowing a six month extension of time,- p-rovided-the building�w�as vacated immediately. .. . _ Councilman Puryear stated the intent of the owners was good, and he would . favor they be given a reasonable time, up to one year, if building was then de- molished. Councilman Kelly stated he was in favor of the second proposal of Jack's; six months, then another ninety or one hundred twenty days to either rebuild or demolish the building. -_ � Councilman Fulkerth stated he favored the six month proposal, with building to be rehabilitated or torn down, but was of the opinion the granting of any additional time beyond the six months would establish a precendent that would react unfavor- ably on any future requests for extension of time. Both Mr. Fisher and Mr, Presleigh stated if given one year, they would guarantee that building would be demolished. MOTION: Made by Councilman Puryear, seconded by Councilman Kelly that owners Mr. Fisher, Jack Presleigh et al of the Del Monte Apartments be granted an extension of twelve montlis for the demolition of the building., with the stipulation that building be torn down at that time. ` Voting was as follows: ' Ayes: Councilmen - Kelly, Puryear and Simons .
