FROM: D.W. FLIPPEN, BUILDING AND ZONING OFFICIAL •?'
DATE: JANUARY 24, 2000
SUBJECT: DEMOLITION OF ABANDONED DWELLING LOCATED
WITHIN CUMBERLAND AVENUE RIGHT-OF-WAY
ISSUE
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve the demolition of a
structure located on public property?
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
There is an abandoned, dilapidated single family dwelling, which is located entirely on a city
owned road right-of-way (S. Cumberland Avenue). The residence was used in the past as a rental
unit by the previous owners of the adjacent property (west common property line). The current
owners of the adjacent properties are Wingate, Kenneth R. and Wingate, Bonny B. Lee (H/W),
and Wingate, Donald A. and Wingate, Carole P. (H/W).
I discussed this situation with the Wingates and was informed that they had no claims on the
building or property and that they may at sometime in the future request the City to abandon
certain sections of Cumberland Avenue. Due to this building being abandoned (for
approximately two (2) years) and dilapidated, it has been posted by the City as unsafe for human
occupancy. A research of Orange County Tax Records revealed the building was never on the
county tax rolls or records.
Bob Smith, Director of Public Works, informed me that he will demolish and remove the
building using City Personnel and equipment at an estimated cost of one thousand ($1,000)
dollars.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff respectfully recommends approval of the demolition of an abandoned dwelling located
within Cumberland Avenue Right-of-Way.
