REGULAR AGENDA
ITEM 1 CASE *00-11-ZBA — HOLD HEARING AND CONSIDER A REQUEST
FOR AN AMORTIZATION
The board discussed asbestos clean-up, estimated demolition costs and the possibility
of including this demolition period in with amortization, and land value versus structure
value. Mike Collins clarified that the $60,000 estimate for demolition that was
submitted to staff did include asbestos clean-up.
Perry Bynum asked about the$15,000 value listed on the building permit obtained by
Mr. Steve Overton for repair of fire damage.
Tony May asked if the board wanted to re-read each of the factors that must be
considered by the board in determining a reasonable amortization period. The board
decided not to, since they felt this Information had been read and covered by each
member prior to the meeting.
Perry Bynum asked Vice Chairman Blood at what point the board should start looking
at total dollars. Vice Chairman Blood and Commissioner Deithloff stated that the board
is not looking at dollar figures, rather looking for a date certain.
The board discussed the time period to consider for amortization. The board discussed
a 27-year period versus a 28-year period. Eddie Price stated that J.R Kmball did not
discuss the five period demolition period.Tony May stated that he thought the city
asked J.R. Kimball about the five year demolition period and he stated it was estimated
at four to five years.
The board discussed beginning amortization on the 12130/1971 date and using a 27
year period, and add four to five years for demolition expenses. The board discussed
that this would be ample time for all leases to expire.
John Deithioff suggested getting a scope of work (for demolition) and going out for bids
on this.
