O REGARDING ~HRINK SWELL DAF. AGE GRA1TT bROsRAR AND ~QTI~ OF
VIOLATIONS" FOR THS BUILDING CODE
Mr. Stal Parth~os sta~ed at t~e ApEil 10, 1996 Board of
Supervi~or~ m~eti~g, ~r. ~arber requeste~ s~a~ ~0 develop, for
the Board's considerat±o~, a~ =ssistunce program for shrink
~w~11 damaged homes that is similar to the Tax A~ats~nnt Rlan
the Board i~ e~rr~ntly considering for renovation~ and
improvements to elder homes.
96~296
Mr. Partheme~ stated the aaziatance program complies with the
terms of the Shrink Swell public purpose statute that the
Swell Aaaiatanse Plan is in the form of a grant, rather than in
the form of a tax abatement, because State law does not allow
tax abatement for shrine swell assistance, unless the home is
more than fifteen years old. He stated the Shrink Swell Grant
statutory foundation warranty, whioh is currently five years,
more than fifteen years old would be eligible for the Tax
Abatement Program. He then reviewed ~evaral ~ligibility
requirements for the 19~ Ehrink-Swsll Grant ~rogram including
the Program being retroactive to January l, 199~ and the
Program being available to all homeowners with shrink swell
damage! not just to those in the citizens Assistance Program.
He reviewed Grant terms including homeowners receiving a grant
to repair home foundation~ grant amount ~eing paid for eight
successive years and amount of grant being a consistent one
percent for the eight years~ repair cost including only the
coat of constructing the repair; grant amount being capped at
paid for the repair; grant program having a five year sunset;
and gra~t, beyond the first year, being ~ubj=~t to annual
appreprlation by the Board of Supervisors, as required by law.
He stated if the Board wishes to consider this Grant ~rogram,
to create the program. Ne noted staf~ recommends June 12, 1996
be set ae the public bearing date because t~at date has already
been scheduled for a public hearing to consider the Tax
Abatement Program. Ne then briefly npdated the Board on the
~tatu~ of the County's "Notices of Violation" Policy including
the current County policy re~uiring th~ Building Offioial to
immediately issue "Notice~ of Violatlon'~ for violation
dlacevered within the statute of limitations and after the
Statute of Limltat~on~ ham ~xpired, notices are to be served at
the request of the homeowner. He stated the "Notices Of
Violation" polioy has been superseded by the recent withdrawal
by the State Board of Housing and Community D~velopment of a
proposed change to the Building Code on "Notices of Violation".
~e further stated aa a result of the withdrawal of that change,
the Law has ncc established tha~ "Notices of violation" mumt ~e
served for violations discovered after the e~pi~atien of
Statute cf Limitations, therefore, the County must change its
policy to reflect that aotion. He furthe~ stated over the next
few weeks, staff will be writing all citizens Assistance
Program homeowners, requesting the opportunity to inspect thei~
home= to determine whether any violations currently exist. He
stated homes built prier to 1988, when the Building Code
changed to r~quire special construction in shrink swell soil,
will not be in violation cf the Building Code,
i~dependent construction violations are ~c~n~. He £ur~h~r
stated the letter will explain t~ homeowner~ the change to the
policy and will reguest homeowners to sign and return
p~mi~aien slip in a stamped self-addressed envelope that will
be enclosed. He then brie£1y reviewed the process that will
follow when the County receiYe~ the permission slip from the
homeowner. H~ noted staff will report to the Board on the
results of the program as it is pursued. When a~bed, Mr.
Parthemos stated staff can only inspect a home with the
permission of the homeowner.
W~en asked, ~Lr. Ramsay stated the letter is being sent to
anyone that has experienced any ty~e of cods violation, not
o~ly those homes who have e~perienoed shrink swell soil damage
and that th~ Stat~ ~oerd e~ ~ousing cannot c~angs the Building
Code again for one year, so the new County policy will be in
96-297
effect for at least one year and the policy cannot be changed
during that year. · ~'~
I4r. Daniel requested staff to maintain all data and amy results
relating to this issue.
When asked, Mr. Parthe~os stated the issue is ~hathcr u coda
violation exists and it does not matter whether it is
categorized as a building or administrative violation.
Discussion, comments, and questions ensued relative to
inspections that require existing property to be removed;
homeo~ers being responsible for any property removal that
takes place during inpes¢~ionm; the effect cf this new policy
on homeowners' obligations to disclose defects in the home to
new purchamerm; the Code that the building official enforces in
uny particulur home being the version of the Code in effect
when thc home was constructed; and uninhabitable he,es being
addressed un,er · different mpproach than through this process.
]4~. Barber stated ha feels the wording "foumdation
s~esificationa was to built to t-he characteristic of the soil"
will become a confu~ing and difficult issue to dete~ine during
inspections.
~. Ramsay state~ the= th~ Building Code did ~ot require
special construction in shrink swell sell untll
~. Barber stated he would like the Boar~ to consider an
assistance program for shrink swell damaged homes and to
inolu~ ~hat iss~ with the Tax Abatement Program public
hearing on June 12, 1996.
There was brief discussion relative to th~ comparison of the
amount of t~x credits under the Tax Abatement P~ogram am
compared to the amount of a grant under the Shrink Swell
~. Daniel stated he feels it would be be%tar to no~ consider
a gran~ program until all county lawsuits relating to

excludes many of the homes in th~ citizen Assistance Program.
