HomeMy WebLinkAboutRE 7910 Aurora Court (5)Hi Ralph.
Mike and I met with Carmen (owner) this morning regarding this issue. The City is in no way liable/at fault in this situation. We explained to Carmen that when she had the home renovated
(2015 I think), the cost to do so exceeded 50 percent of the value of the structure. This triggers a requirement to meet current codes, including the requirement to elevate the building
slab. Her contractor then got a new appraisal to increase the cost of the house and also lowered the cost of the renovation to not trigger the 50 percent rule. This is all allowed by
Code.
In short, they choose not to meet the 50 percent rule and bypass elevating the slab. We explained this to her and she was appreciative of this information. She told us that she was not
aware of any of this.
I have asked John Pekar to visit with her to provide possible solutions to her situation.
You can call if you need any further information. Dave

David,
Can you give us a summary/timeline of permitting/building modifications/drainage issues for the subject property.
Looks like her property is 3 to 4 feet below the crown of the road, which is it obvious it had to be built that way, but she wants to sue the city now for flooding issues.
Thanks
RL
