5. Request for determination of 779 S. Hacker as an unsafe structure.
Township Ordinance Enforcement Officer Adam VanTassell presented his petition for removal of the unsafe structure belonging to Gary Griffin. The structure was built in 1978 and collapsed three
and a half years ago. The building is a pole barn, measuring 33' x 50' in area. Pictures of the structure were provided. Griffin - Back in 1978 the County Building Department provided very little
instruction with regard to construction. 16 telephone poles were used. A bid in the amount of $11,500.00 for the replacement of the roof and two poles was provided. Griffin asked that the
existing walls and poles be used in the reconstruction.
Moved by Skolarus, supported by Smith, to table the request and reconvene this meeting on May 5, 2008 contingent upon the following:
· The County Building Department will review the structure to determine whether a permit can be issued for a partial reconstruction.
· A signed contract with the builder for repair of the structure.
· A statement from the builder certifying that the existing walls and poles will support a new roof.
· A time schedule for completion of the project.
· All funds related to the project will be placed in escrow with the township.
The motion carried unanimously.
The regular meeting and public hearing of the board was adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
