DESK ITEM
DATE: MARCH 21, 2017
TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL
FROM: ROBERT SCHULTZ, TOWN ATTORNEY
SUBJECT: A. REQUEST FOR REFUND OF DEMOLITION FINE. 130 MASSOL AVENUE.
PROPERTY OWNER: DIETER SCHMIDT.
B. REQUEST FOR WAIVER OF DEMOLITION FINE. 205 UNIVERSITY AVENUE.
PROPERTY OWNER: TAMI SHOOT.
REMARKS:
Based on a Council Member’s question regarding the calculations for the fines for each home
pursuant to Town Code Section 29.10.09030 (g), staff identified the math as:
130 Massol Avenue – Building Permit Valuation X 15 percent ($553,000.00 X .15 = $82,950.00)
205 University Avenue – Building Permit Valuation X 15 percent ($232,000.00 X .15 =
$34,800.00)
Staff also learned that the fine for 205 University Avenue referenced in the staff report
($23,200.00) was not correct. The $23,200.00 fine referenced in the staff report was based on
a 10 percent fine. However, 205 University Avenue is in a Landmark Historic Preservation
Overlay zone so the fine is 15 percent. The correct fine for 205 University Avenue is
$34,800.00.
