Councilman Hawkins stated this issue was before the Council thirty days ago and the Building Hearings /' June 5. 1995, meeting - continued Officer did rule that the building did need to come down. He also stated that the property owners have yet to repair the huilding after it hurned several years ago and it is a dangerous situation. He reminded everyone that thirty days ago the owner of the apartment was here and assured the council they would take the huilding down very promptly. He also stated one reason for the delay was they had not had an ashestos abatement done and they felt there was some asbestos in the building. Mr. Hawkins stated he felt at that time it was prudent to give them an opportunity to take the huilding down rather than the city having to do it. He stated he is disappointed to report that the building is still standing. Mr. Hawkins stated he has asked Scott Stokes, Chief Building Inspector, to make a recommendation to the council. Mr. Stokes stated he has talked with the demolition contractor today and he indicates that on June 1 the ashestos paperwork was turned over to the State for the H)-day approval and it will take approximately two days after that is received to remove the asbestos.

(C) Ratify Decision of Hearings Officer - 2581 Carolyn Drive Mr. Thomson stated the hearing for this property was held May 4, 1995, and findings of fact produced under State law require that the Mayor and Council ratify the decision of the Hearings Officer which is to clean up the property instead of demolishing it.

Councilman Wood asked again if the property owner had heen notified and Mr. Stokes responded he had. Councilman Hawkins then stated this motion would give the city authority to go on the property and clean it up. Mr. Stokes responded the city plans, if the motion is approved, to have wreckers on the property tomorrow and haul off the two vehicles that are there and coordinate with Public Works to have their crews go out with a hack hoe and clean up the trash that is on the property and then weekly cut the property until someone decides to do something. Councilman Hawkins then stated a lien would he placed against the property so it can not he sold or change ownership until that lien is satisfied. Mr. Stokes stated that was correct. Councilman Hawkins then asked if our legal department approved this action and Mr. Camp responded they did. Councilman Newcomb stated this is a last-step approach to this problem and he fully supports what Mr. Patrick is doing. Councilmen Hawkins and Scoggins both stated they support the motion. Mr. Scoggins noted he has had three properties in his ward that this same action has been taken against. Motion was approved 7-0. .... (D) Ordinance Amendment - Housing Policy Mr. Thomson stated this is an amendment to make more specific the definition of a bedroom/sleeping room or a hed to enahle the city to enforce the ordinance on the books now and to allow that the health, safety and welfare of the community is protected so that when inspections are done, the city can tell the folks where the rooms are and what the definition of a bedroom is and in terms of the numher of residents per bedroom. ... ... .... June 5. 1995. meeting - continued Councilman Newcomb stated the city often times receives comments from citizens that there seems to be a lot of people living in a particular dwelling unit. He further stated the ordinance amendment is an effort to tighten up the definition in the ordinance that will help the City officials as they go out and do inspections. He stated that the ordinance now states that no more than three unrelated persons may live in a dwelling unit, which is one limitation, and the city does not plan to change that. The second limitation is based on the number of persons per square foot in a bedroom. The ordinance says, based on the State Housing Code, that for the first person there must be 70 square feet of sleeping space; the second person has to have 50 square feet; so a bedroom would have to be a minimum of 120 square feet to have two persons in it; for every additional 50 square feet in a bedroom you could have a third person and so forth. He further stated the city has looked at several different ways to try to determine how the city could limit the number of persons sleeping in a dwelling unit and the city's recommendation is to change the definition of a bedroom and to put in a definition of a bedroom that would prohibit folks from using living room quarters as a bedroom. He also stated the definition would be added to the Standard Housing Code referred to by the Smyrna Code of Ordinances to define a bedroom as a "room furnished with a bed and intended primarily for sleeping, that includes doors and hardware to afford privacy to the occupants of the bedroom." He further stated it defines a sleeping room as a bedroom; it defines a bed as furnishings on or on which persons may lie or sleep. He stated the heart of the amendment is to define a bedroom in such a way that the unit, that the bedroom, is constructed for the purposes normally with a wall, doors, privacy and is not a living room. The effect would then be to allow Mr. Stokes and his inspectors to go in and count folks and say that folks using the living room for a bedroom is not appropriate and then to reduce the allowable number of persons that can be in that unit. He stated there are a couple of reasons for doing this. First, it is a health issue when you get too many people living in one dwelling unit; it's a fire and safety issue in the sense that when you have folks that are in the living room sleeping with either a bed in there or a couch pulled out on a constant basis, if there were a fire in the middle of the night, folks trying to get out of the other rooms would have to go through that room to get out. He stated this is a legitimate interest on the part of the city and this has been reviewed by the attorneys and has been stamped as being ok. Councilman Newcomb then asked for input or questions from anyone. Councilman Hawkins asked if this proposed amendment had anything to do with the "three or more unrelated persons" living in a dwelling section of the ordinance. Councilman Newcomb said it did not. Mr. Hawkins then stated if there is a large family in a home, is this proposed amendment going to restrict them from sleeping in the living room. Mr. Stokes responded this proposed amendment could affect that type situation. Mayor Bacon stated he felt the purpose of the amendment is to restrict the number of unrelated persons allowed to live in a dwelling once a lease is signed. He further stated the proposed amendment would prohibit the use of a living room as a bedroom and he supports the proposed amendment. Councilman Hawkins stated he understood the reason for the proposed amendment and supports that but stated there may be some drawbacks to the proposed amendment if you had a legitimate family that had a large number of children. Councilman Newcomb made a motion that Chapter 18, Section 18-8.1 Definitions, be amended to add the definition of bedroom, sleeping room and bed as provided and that furthermore that these changes he referred to the Department of Community Affairs for their information, which is required under State Law when there are additions to the State Housing Code. Councilman Patrick seconded the motion. Motion was approved 7-0. COMMERCIAL BUILDING PERMITS: There were none. BID AWARDS: (A) Bid Award - Dixie Avenue Water Line Councilman Scoggins made a motion the bid for the Dixie Avenue Water Line be awarded to Ardito Ditching and Pipeline for $38,373, the low bidder meeting specifications.

(B) Bid Award - Kitchen Equipment - Concessions at Cobb and Jonquil Parks Councilman Cramer stated the issue at hand is two concession stands being built at Cobb and Jonquil June 5, 1995, meeting - continued Parks to replace the old ones. He stated twelve bids were mailed for two refrigerators, two freezers and two ice-makers and only one was returned. He also stated two bids returned after the closing date; two vendors who did not know what they wanted to bid; two companies that stated they did not receive the bids; one vendor stated his company was too busy and forgot to return the bid; one vendor stated he could not find the specified line. Councilman Cramer stated the Parks and Recreation Committee met and reviewed the bid submitted by Rykoff-Sexton and recommends the bid be awarded to Rykoff-Sexton for $10,426, which will be funded by CDBG funds.
