Said hearing be, and the same is hereby, closed, and the
said protests and objections, and any and all other protest objections
whether enumerated or not, be and the same are hereby, overruled.
From the evidence presented in the aforementioned Public
Hearing by the property owners appearing and the Building Inspector of
the City of Wichita Falls, the building and/or structure at the location
listed above with the corresponding property owner is found to be a dang-
erous building as defined in said Article III and the property owners
listed or any other person having an interest in said building as shown by
the tax records of the City of Wichita Falls, are hereby commanded to repair,
vacate, or demolish the building and/or structure in accordance with the
Statement of Particulars set forth in the Building Inspector's notice. The
property owner listed or any other person having an interest in said build-
ing as shown by the tax records of the City of Wichita Falls is further com-
manded to repair, vacate or demolish in accordance with the Statement of
Particulars set forth in the Building Inspector's notice within thirty (30)
days from the date of this ordinance.
If, within 30 days from the date of this ordinance, any such
building has not been so repaired or demolished, it shall be demolished or
removed at the expense of the City by the City or its contractor, and the
net cost of the demolition or removal shall be charged to the owner of the
property and assessed on the land on which the building stood.
The fact that the repair, vacation, and/or demolition of
dangerous buildings is being delayed pending the taking effect of this
ordinance creates an emergency for the immediate preservation of the public
business place, property, health, safety and general welfare of the public
which requires that this ordinance shall become effective from and after
the date of its passage and is accordingly so ordained.
PASSED AND APPROVED THIS THE 4TH DAY OF NOVEMBER, 1975.
