3. Discuss/ Take Action on 101 Kerens St Non Conforming Structure. Jeremy Bullock to represent Benny and Jean Riley. Mayor Schell – Our ordinance says that if a mobile home in a non-mobile area is vacant for more than 90 days, it needs to be removed. TXU pulled the meter at this house sometime before August 21^st. On August 21^st is the first time we knew the meter was gone. TXU said that their last usage was on June 16^th, Mr. Caperton noted that date to determine the 90 days. We received a request for a release to have the meter put back, on October 4^th. I spoke to Mrs. Riley and she said due to health issues her or her husband could not be here today. You should have a copy of a letter from the Riley’s asking Mr. Bullock to represent them today and a copy of Mr. Caperton’s notes, who could also not be here today. The gentleman that wants to move into the house is their son, and he also has health issues and has been hospitalized. The Riley’s are requesting that the Council allow the son to reoccupy the home. Mr. Bullock brought no proof that the house was occupied during the period the Code Enforcement Officer determined it to be vacant. By Mr. Bullock’s own admission the house had actually been vacant since the first of the year when the sister moved out, that the son was set to move into the house in March, but never did due to being hospitalized. Council concluded the home was never occupied during the 90-day period. No motion.
