Title
Consideration of and action on an ordinance calling a public hearing concerning the substandard building, structure or premise located at 1242 Center Street.
Body
The structure located at 1242 Center Street (Vega’s Mexican Restaurant) was damaged by a fire earlier this year. Its condition is substandard. The structure constitutes a hazard to the health, safety or welfare of citizens, unless measures are taken to remove these hazardous conditions, contents or use and render the building, structure or premises safe. It is recommended Council hold a hearing to specify the measures necessary to correct the hazardous conditions, contents or use, then order the owner by ordinance to take such measures, at his own expense, setting for a reasonable time in which such work is to be accomplished by him. It is recommended the Public Hearing be set for Monday, October 3rd, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at Deer Park City Hall. You may recall, Council held a Public Hearing on this matter earlier this summer, and gave the owner thirty (30) days to make repairs. Though that timeframe now has expired, it was discovered proper notice was not given to the owners. As such, City Attorney Fox recommends this process begin again anew.
