users, and possibly petty thieves getting in and out of the building and using it for improper purposes. We received information from the inspector, and they see no alternative at this point; but, to seek demolition. I discussed the matter with John Oxian, and he asked me to talk with Kiel Architecture about the possibility of them taking the property as a receivership. Kiel Architecture was not interested in that option. JOHN OXIAN: Several years ago I tried to get this house put on the receivership program. We had meeting with Code Enforcement regarding this. Every time code enforcement heard back from the bank they gave another excuse and stopped us from proceeding. That is why the house is in the condition that it is in today. Twice, I had people who were willing to go in there and do a receivership program. This situation is code enforcement's fault too, not just the owner's; we already know that the owner did not give a damn about the property. Twice, code enforcement had a chance to have receivers go in there and both times they listened to the bank instead and failed to do this. This is inexcusable, and I can't go along with their recommendation. I still say that we should try for at least one more month to see if we can find a receiver; before, I would even think about letting them come in here for demolition. Have you called Code Enforcement yet to see if they are willing to go along with the receivership program? Karen stated that Code Enforcement was not willing to talk to them about any possible proposal. John then said he would make some phone calls and if he was not able to find out anything then Code Enforcement would have to come in with a C of A. 2. 1158 Lincolnway East, local district, partial loss of contributing structure; also 1402-1404 Lincolnway East, Code Enforcement Issue, 2002 C of A. KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: This is a lovely Arts and Crafts bungalow. It has two attached contributing structures. One of them is a carriage house and the other one is a garage. Somebody drove into the back corner of the one car garage apparently with a truck. There is a hole in the garage. A corner of it has been taken out at least five feet tall by five feet on one wall and five feet on the other wall. Code Enforcement did bring us some pictures. JOHN OXIAN: Can we see the pictures? KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: I thought they were in the packet; but, I must have forgotten to bring them. JOHN OXIAN: Did you take pictures of it, Wayne? Where are your pictures? KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: Code Enforcement brought us in a packet of pictures. 7
