2. From the evidence presented in the aforementioned Public Hearing by property
owners appearing and the Code Enforcement Division for the City of Wichita Falls, the
buildings and/or structures at the locations listed in the attached List of Structures to be
Demolished, with the corresponding property owners, are found to be dangerous
buildings which cannot be repaired as defined in said Article VIII of Chapter 22 of the

the City of Wichita Falls are hereby commanded to demolish the buildings and/or
structures in accordance with the State of Particulars set forth in the Code Enforcement
Division's notice. The property owners listed on the attached List of Structures to be

of the property and assessed on the land on which the building stood.
4. The dangerous building demolition order for the properties listed in the List of
Structures for which Repair is Authorized is suspended for 30 days from this date, and
the dangerous building demolition order is to be valid again if the property owner does
not obtain a restoration permit to restore this building within such time. If the property
owner obtains a restoration permit to restore this building within the aforementioned
period of time, then the dangerous building declaration for this property is suspended for
the additional time of 90 days, and the dangerous building demolition order is to be valid
again if the property owner does not bring this building into compliance with all codes of

this building into substantial compliance (as determined by the City's building official) with
all codes of the City of Wichita Falls within the aforementioned 90 days, then this

business place, property, health, safety and general welfare of the public, as this
ordinance shall become effective immediately from and after the date of its passage and
accordingly it is so ordained.
