NEW BUSINESS:
(HEARING CONCERNING ERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 16-14,
ORDERING THE DEMOLITION OF THE BUILDINGS AND/OR STRUCTURES LOCATED AT
2022 E. LINDEN, COMMONLY KNOICS, PURSUANT TO IDAHO
CODE § 50-335)
th
Mark Hilty, City Attorney at 1303 South 12 Avenue Road, Nampa, provided an overview of the process
of ordering the demolition of a building. He noted that the accompanying documents had been placed on
record by City staff telling the history of this matter.
Mr. Hilty indicated that a ruling may be sought from City Council declaring a building as a nuisance due to
its safety condition and ask for an order for it to be abated. Staff has been charged with enforcing the
International Building and Fire Codes that require safety within buildings to protect the public as enforced
by the Building & Fire Officials. He noted that Fire Marshal Cater and Building Official Brett Clark would
testify tonight concerning their findings. The building currently meets the criteria to be abated as a
nuisance.
Mr. Hilty continued to explain that the City is also proceeding under the statutory provision pursuant to
Idaho Code 50-355 which allows Council to make a determination if the building is dangerous and poses
risk after notice is provided with opportunity to conduct a hearing and gather evidence. If that finding is
made, then the building may be abated. The legal standard is that Council must listen to the record and
determine if this is the case for the subject building.
Mr. Hilty noted for the record that this process has not been rushed. Staff has been diligent in working with
the property owner and her friends. Requests have been received to extend the time period and staff has
been respectful of Ms. Owens and her needs.
Brent Orton, City Engineer at 621 Cleveland Blvd., presented the staff report concerning the order to
demolish the building/structures at 2022 E. Linden. He reported that Fire Marshal Cater initially inspected
the building for fire safety related issues and recommended that the electrical inspector also view the
building for code violations. There has been a series of notices to the owner to no avail. In January 2013
when the Notice and Order was delivered to the site addressing several of the problems, the owner
expressed the need for more time indicated that she needed the summer to get the items resolved.
Last fall the owner was again contacted about the stated deadlines as outlined in the Notice and Order
(noting that the deadlines had been updated to accommodate the request for more time by the owner). The
deadlines were not able to be met entirely by the owner and the feeling of staff was that there could not be
further delay without leading the owner exposed to danger with the unsafe conditions of the building.
In response to questions from Council Member Pollard, Mr. Orton confirmed that communications with
the property owner by staff has been ongoing since 2010.
Council Member Callsen asked Mr. Orton to explain what happened to the building and why this issue was
brought before Council.
Mr. Orton gave a brief explanation that there was a fire in the building at some point in time which affected
part of the structure. He reported that there was also structural damage that appears to be unrelated to the
fire. Some of the most significant structural damage was in the floor joists which have failed and split and
dropped below the level of the other floor joists due to excessive loading. There is exposed 220 volt wiring
in the building which is a safety concern for the public (especially children) entering the building. Other
defective structural elements within the building include cables and columns installed to support areas that
had been damaged by the fire. From an engineering standpoint, this is very unsafe condition. Also, in the
main portion of the building there are portions of the plastered ceiling coming down.
applied for or issued. The work relating to the pulled permits was commenced but not completed.
Andy Cater, Fire Marshal at 310 South 75th Avenue, provided a historical review of the matter. He stated
that the deterioration of the structure started with a fire within the building. He reported that he had
received numerous phone calls about the condition of the building in 2010 which culminated with a fire-
life-safety inspection. There were several issues that needed to be addressed such as structural damage,
electrical safety matters, and the accumulation of the storage of combustible materials all throughout the
building without any walk ways. The accumulated storage of materials included paper goods, clothing
goods, propane, and white gas.
Mr. Cater reported that the had presented to Connie a written report as to the results of the fire-life-safety
inspection and spoken with her concerning an action plan to assist her with compliance matters. He
invited the building inspector to review the structural safety issues of the building and the City electrical
inspector as well. All of the City staff members concluded that this is real hazard and again a written
report was presented to Connie concerning the safety issues. As time proceeded, no progress was made as
to the compliance of the inspections and in fact it appeared that more items were being brought into the
building. Deterioration of the building began to worsen including the plaster falling down inside the
building. A determination was made by the Building Official and the Fire Marshal that the structure was
not being repaired and it was a life-safety issue for not only the owner but also residential structures near
the site.
In response to questions from Mayor Nancolas, Mr. Cater noted that he has not been within the building
since a notice of DO NOT ENTER was posted on the door. The status of accumulation had not changed at
that point nor had there been any noticeable compliance to the inspection requirements. This was several
months ago. The pictures that were submitted to the record from the fire department were taken in 2010.
The Building Official had taken pictures approximately one year later when he had officially inspected the
building for building and electrical issues.
The Mayor noted that several items appeared to the outsid
possible attempt to reduce the amount of accumulation within the building.
Mr. Cater reported that the Building Official and the City Engineer allocated additional time to Connie by
allowing her to sale the items outside of the structure.
Ceramics. He reported that many phones were received (approximately two or three per day by the public)
within the Planning & Zoning Department concerning the accumulation of items along the perimeter of the
building. The Code Enforcement Officer, Ms. Phillips, worked extensively with the owner trying to come
to a resolution. The situation ended with providing the owner with an ultimatum date to remove the items
since they were beginning to encroach within the right-of-way and impede pedestrian traffic.
In response to questions from Mayor Nancolas, Mr. Cater reported that staff has been very generous in
allowing additional time as requested by the owner to resolve the safety issues associated with this
building. Upon request, additional time was allotted; however, no progress has been made.
In response to questions from the Mayor, the Fire Marshal reported that the fire had transpired in the
building before his employment with the City of Caldwell. The building should have been repaired directly
after the fire.
In response to questions from Council Member Biggers, Mr. Cater reported that to his knowledge, no one is
currently living on the property.
Council Member Biggers asked that if the property was to be rehabilitated, would it require a sprinkler
system?
Mr. Cater responded that if the use was the same, a fire sprinkler system would not be required in
accordance with the Code.
The Mayor directed questions to the City Attorney Mark Hilty: What is the responsibility of the City to
insure the safety of citizens and/or customers as well as protecting the properties around that building?
What would the consequences be if the City failed to act?
Mark Hilty stated that generally the City would not have legal liability for problems that occur on private
property; however, the City has the responsibility that is constitutional in nature to protect the health,
safety, and welfare of the citizens. That finds expression in state code and certainly in the building codes
adopted by the City Council. This responsibility is fulfilled by City staff such as the City Engineer, the
Fire Marshal, the Building Official, and Code Enforcement personnel. When there is a dilapidated property
that does not meet Codeand the Citystaff have addressed those particular needsandthere has been an
attempt to work with the owner to address the issues to no avail then it comes to the point of a
time in the summer to sell items with the principal concern of saving the 30,000 ceramic molds located in
the building. There is also a large quantity of unfired green ware. He noted that at one point a number of
staff members at the City ithin the area trying to
locate potential buyers for the molds.
Brett Clark, Building Official at 621 Cleveland, clarified information about the required permits outlined
within the Notice and Order. The permit secured was an actual demolition permit for the burnt part of the
building in the back where there were serious structural concerns. The requirements to also secure
permits for electrical, plumbing, and mechanical matters were not met by the owner.
In response to questions from the Mayor, Mr. Clark noted that only a small amount of demolition has taken
it was
explained to him that the demolition should have begun on the front part of the structure which is due to
fall down at any time. There has been a lot of hesitancy in doing the work as outlined by City staff by the
owner. It was determined that this process has gone on long enough before someone is seriously hurt. Mr.
Clark stated that as the Building Official it is his responsibility to make the proper determinations and issue
the Order as necessary.
Council Member Callsen asked if the utilities are still functioning the building.
Mr. Clark replied that to his knowledge there are no utilities being provided to the building.
Connie Owen, 1908 Walnut Street, provided testimony in opposition to the resolution. She stated that as
the owner, she weighed the whole situation and determined the rehabilitate the building. She noted that the
molds are her lifetime accumulation and she is currently selling the in clusters of 25, 50 and 100 at a time.
Since no one has room to store 30,000 molds, they must be sold in smaller lots. She noted that she decided
that the cost of demolition was better served to save the building and sell the molds and green ware. By
repairing the building, she would add value in the structure and have a chance of return on her money. She
clarified that no new items were added to the yard sale but rather storage items were brought out of the
garages to the rear of the building.
Council Member Biggers asked if there was insurance on the building at the time of the fire.
Ms. Owen reported that there was no insurance on the building at the time of the fire. She had terminated
insurance coverage when she closed the building for operations prior to the fire.
In response to questions from Council Member Biggers, she stated that she has financial resources through
savings and ownership of other property in Caldwell to finance the rehabilitation project.
Council Member Biggers asked why is has taken so long to any progress to be made on the building?
Have you decided to stop rehabilitation procedures after pulling the demolition permit?
Ms. Owens stated that the damaged portion of the building due to the fire was being demolished and Mr.
Messenger was working on items as mandated by City staff. She clarified that no one is living in the
building at this time and no business is being conducted on site. Mr. Messenger had already removed some
of the garage structures and was tearing down some of the plaster on the inside of the building.
Council Member Biggers explained that he had received numerous phone calls from local residents and real
estate residents about the perpetual yard sale at the site. He asked Ms. Owens how those complaints
should be responded to.
Ms. Owen explained that she had hired a man a few years ago to live in the apartment to do some
handyman work at the site. Ms. Owen had partnered with the gentleman in buying & selling furniture
items to assist him financially. The gentleman was later deported to Mexico and all the furniture had to be
sold. There were 13 garages full of accumulated items that needed to be dealt with. The yard sale was the
means used to liquidate these items. The remaining items from the yard sale are to be hauled away.
Council Member Biggers expr resources to accomplish the project.
Ms. Owens stated that she has the ability to do what needs to be done. She referred to Mr. Messenger to
answer questions about the timeline for completing the project.
Council Member Callsen asked Ms. Owen if she had considered an auction to dispose of the items.
Ms. Owen responded that an auction would not give her enough money for the items. She has resorted to
the internet to list the 30,000 molds.
Glenn Messenger, 5202 War Eagle, provided a hand drawn map of the site. He noted that the fire was on
the outside of the building in a storage unit located on the west end (near Linden). There is no fire damage
were told they could not proceed especially as it related to the yard sale. When they first spoke with City
personnel, no one indicated that the activity was illegal.
An electrician was hired to come and update the electrical service; however, they discussed that the wall
where the service is mounted on would be demolished within the next two weeks. Since the electrical work
has been delayed, the permit will be drawn when needed.
Mr. Messenger emphasized that the main portion of the building is sound and the stated code violations can
be corrected. Two main auction houses within the valley have been contacted but would not handle the
liquidation of the accumulated items. It was determined by the owner that the best option was to work on
the building and make it sound. Drop cords are being used from legally safe boxes to conduct demolition
and repair work.
Council Member Blacker asked Mr. Messenger how long he has been working on the building.
Mr. Messenger stated that he had been on working on the building approximately 90 days.
Council Member Blacker asked how much money has been spent to take on the rehabilitation of the
building.
Mr. Messenger replied that approximately a few thousand dollars has been spent but the owner is the once
with the exact figures.
Council Member Blacker asked how large of crew is working on the project?
Mr. Messenger reported that he has one person assisting him.
Council Member Biggers asked if Mr. Messenger was a general contractor or engineer?
Mr. Messenger stated that he is not a general contractor or engineer but rather he is just trying to assist Ms.
Owen in bringing the building into compliance with City standards. He stated that when he originally
spoke with City staff regarding the needed work, he thought the demolition order was only for the fire
damaged exterior portion, not the entire structure.
In response to questions from the Mayor, Mr. Messenger stated that he could provide copies of the
study He noted that he had misplaced the report but would contact the
company for another copy.
In response to questions from Council Member Biggers pertaining to a cost analysis of the rehabilitation
project, Mr. Messenger outlined costs pertaining to a new roof, redoing the floor joists, and trusts. He
noted that the cost and time analysis is dependent upon many different options and factors.
In rebuttal, Mr. Cater expressed his concern with the lack of progress in securing the structure and the fact
that the building is a safety hazard today even during construction relating to the issues that have not been
addressed.
In response to questions from Council Member Blacker, Mr. Cater reported that he had not been in the
building since January 2013.
Council Member Hopper expressed concern that Mr. Messenger has been working on the project within the
last 90 days and that City staff have not been to the site recently to document progress or failures.
Mr. Orton reported that he and the Building Official had visited the site approximately 30 days ago. In
response to questions from Council Member Hopper, he noted that there had been some progress on the
south wall as referenced by Mr. Messenger.
Council Member Hopper noted that a distinction must be made if the entire building is a problem or just the
storage area. Is Mr. Messenger truly making the kind of progress that he has indicated and the situation
could be remedied within another 90 days if the work was completed? The engineering report as
referenced by Mr. Messenger must be reviewed as part of the findings as well. He recommended that the
hearing be continued for an additional two weeks to address such areas of concern in order to make a final
determination.
In response to questions from the Mayor, Brett Clark reported that he and the City Engineer had been to the
site within the past 30 days and observed issues dealing with demolition as reported by Mr. Messenger.
He had walked through the interior of the building while Mr. Orton spoke with Ms. Owen. He reported
that no progress had been made relating to the interior matters. Some demolition had been accomplished
on the east side of the building. The demolition progress was not significant.
the Building Official and the Fire Marshal as to if their opinion has changed any based upon the up-to-date
inspection.
Council Member Callsen recommended that a detailed time schedule be created concerning the various
phases of the rehabilitation project.
Mr. Clark noted that the pictures, which he submitted for the record, were dated to indicate that there was
zero progress being made within the building. Dates have been given for completion of the various issues;
however, those dates were not met and progress was not made. At that point, a final determination was
made to move forward in ordering the demolition.
In response to questions from Council Member Ozuna, Ms. Owen stated that she has sold approximately
300 molds. She noted that would like to get the upstairs portion of the building safe and put down pallets
to sell molds by the pallet. She noted she paid as much as $500 apiece for some of the molds. She had
not been trying to pursue the liquidation of the molds at this point since she had no way to get them upstairs
and on pallets. She does not have access to any other location to store the molds since they take up so
much room.
Council Member Ozuna expressed her concerns that that there would need to be 300 sales to liquidate the
30,000 molds in stock. How many people would be in the market for them?
Ms. Owens stated that ceramic dealers would be interested. She has worked to sell them for the past six
months. She emphasized that the shop was closed for ten years when she relocated to Nebraska. She
currently does not have insurance coverage on the business. She noted that someone had estimated the
value of the lot and building at $250,000. The building is needed for the purpose of storage of the molds
and green ware. She desires to eventually clear out the building and place it for sale.
Council Member Hopper expressed his concern about potential vandalism to the site in its current condition
and the urgency for Ms. Owens to have used her resources to expedite the completion of the rehabilitation
project.

Mark Hilty, City Attorney at 1303 12 Avenue Road, Nampa, presented the staff report concerning the
request for the Lease Agreement. He noted that the underlying real estate is owned by the City of Caldwell
