Interim Chief Building Official Russell reported that there are many structural deficiencies and hazards on the property. He noted that the owner feels that the property can be rehabilitated with the tenants present; however, he believes portions might be able to be done this way, he does not believe the project could be completed with them present.

Mr. Russell indicated that there are none on file. - - Maria Camacho, 3242 Yearling, Irvine, owner of the property, noted that this action began as a result of a car crashing in to one of the units. She indicated that the order to vacate was based on further inspections which did not relate to the accident. She further indicated that she is appealing this action becaus the current problems existed when the property was purchased. She noted that her husband has a verbal with the tenants, that if there are repairs needed, the will get them done and submit receipts for reimbursement. She indicated that they are now aware of the problems listed and willing to do the repairs, however they would like to vacate one unit at a time. She noted that they have contracted the office of Mr. Grage to do the plans to submit for permits. She also noted that they are attempting to get funding from F.H.A. for the repairs. She reiterated her request to be allowed to do one unit at a time without displacing all of the tenants. Mayor Washburn inquired how difficult it might be to do the work with the tenants present. Mr. Russell indicated that it would be difficult because some repairs might require jacking up the building to work on the foundation. Mayor Washburn requested and estimate of the time required for a contractor to make the repairs. Mr. Russell indicated it would be difficult to estimate without the plans, however with plans and permits in hand he would guess about two months.

She indicated that it allowed to proceed they would continue to use it as a three uni t property. She requested permission to retain it as is under the grandfather clause. - Mayor Pro Tem Bender inquired how many square feet of buildings are on the property.

He further indicated that the building is approximately 45 years old, and he would doubt that it was ever formally inspected. He commented that the buildings do have deficiencies, but they PAGE SIX - CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - SEPTEMBER 27, 1994 can be repaired. He estimated that with five men working one unit could be completed in 30 days. ' Mayor Pro Tem Bender further questioned the square footage, noting that he finds it difficult to believe it is over 1400 square feet total. He suggested that it appeared to be one old house with two additions. Mr. Commer indicated that there is another building on the back of the property. __ Mayor Pro Tem Bender indicated that he understood that the property was purchased as is, and noted that Mrs. Camacho's representative at the last meeting indicated that they had owned the property for approximately 20 years. Mrs. Camacho indicated that they have only owned the property for four years. Mr. Bender inquired whether it had been in the family for 20 years.

Mayor Pro Tem Bender inquired whether Mrs. Camacho holds a business license for three rental units. Mrs. Camacho indicated she was not aware of the requirement. Councilman Pape asked Mr. Russell, in that the units are somewhat intertwined, do they share electrical and plumbing systems, and would turning of either not impact the other units. Mr. Russell indicated that the electrical is one system with separate units. He further indicated that the front units would most likely be impacted at the same time, however the back unit would most likely be separate. Councilman Pape requested and received clarification that 106- 1/2 is the back unit. He detailed the list of problems and questioned the ability to make the extensive repairs while tenants are still living there. Mrs. Camacho suggested that the back unit and the front units be repaired separately. She noted that she has been advised by her attorney to let the action proceed, but noted that she feels a responsibility to the tenants. She reiterated she would like to do at least the front units separate from the back unit. ..- Councilman Pape inquired how many people are living in the back unit.

She concurred with staff recommendations. - Mrs. Camacho indicated that she has insurance and would purchase more if needed. She further indicated that she would assume the contractor knows how to work with people present. Mayor Washburn inquired whether current laws would allow for a tri-plex on this site, with adequate parking and setbacks.

He indicat~d that he believed that no more than a duplex could be built there under current regulations. city Attorney Harper clarified the applicable codes, are those in effect at the time of construction. He explained that this is a pre-existing non-conforming use. Mayor Pro Tem Bender questioned the amount of rent collected on the property, noting the $45,000 estimate.

She further indicated that the front units are $300 and $350, for a total of about $900 per month. - Mayor Pro Tem Bender inquired how much rent would be charged after the $45,000 in improvements.

She reiterated the authorization for the tenants to have work done as needed and submit receipts. She indicated that if they didn't have it fixed, she does not feel responsible for the problems. Mayor Pro Tem Bender questioned the comment that the rent has been reduced. Mrs. Camacho indicated that when this action tarted, they reduced the rent, because they became aware there were problems.
