Franklin City staff outline steps to demolish detached garage at 115 Champulisis Street; judge to issue order
Summary
City staff told the July 16 hearing that a written order, title search, public bidding and asbestos testing are required to demolish a detached garage at 115 Champulisis Street; Hearing authority Kaye Mark Lloyd said she would issue the order and include a six-month compliance target.
City staff outlined a step-by-step process on July 16 for the demolition of a detached garage at 115 Champulisis Street, and Hearing authority Kaye Mark Lloyd said she would issue a formal order authorizing the work.
Alex Schedrill, senior planner for the City of Franklin, told the hearing that staff needs a written order to proceed, that the order must be recorded against the property and that a title search will be conducted to identify all interested parties, including any mortgage company. "Once that order is issued, we are then required to record that order against the property," Schedrill said.
Schedrill outlined the next steps: the city will notify interested parties and solicit public bids, allow at least 10 days' notice before the bid, and tentatively set a bid-return date of Aug. 18 with the intent to open bids at the Aug. 20 unsafe-building hearing. He said staff will request quotes from at least three qualified contractors and that the request would include asbestos testing, demolition, material removal and final grading. "The request for quotes would include, asbestos testing, prior to the demolition, the actual demolition, removal of all materials from the site, and then doing final grading and seeding of any disturbed areas," Schedrill said.
Schedrill said staff expects to prepare a short-form contract to be signed by the contractor and accepted and executed by the Board of Works (the city board that accepts and executes contracts). He said the completion window in the contract had not been finalized but staff was considering a 90-day performance period that could be adjusted. Schedrill also told the hearing the property owner and any party with an interest in the property, including a mortgage company if present, would be liable for demolition costs.
Hearing authority Kaye Mark Lloyd told staff she would memorialize prior hearings and "reflect the 6 months" as a target period in the order. The judge also authorized administrative preparation to proceed pending completion of title and notice requirements.
Staff and the judge agreed to reconvene with an update in August. The hearing recessed on the matter.
