Renovation Proposal for Velasco Square Apartments Presented to Council
Jeremy Cloud, representing Cloud Mechanical LLC, presented a proposal to purchase and refurbish the Velasco Square Apartments at 708 North Velasco, which was previously under a demolition order. Cloud Mechanical specializes in rehabilitating older properties, cutting them to the studs and replacing all mechanicals, electrical, plumbing, and finishes. He presented examples of past projects, including 1108 Nottingham and 605 Holly, and offered to schedule property tours. Cloud's plan for Velasco Square includes restoring all eight units, improving exterior appearance with new siding and landscaping, adding covered parking, and potentially replacing a retainer wall. He emphasized his commitment to Angleton, his local residency, and his belief that the complex can be a valuable addition to the city's revitalization efforts. While acknowledging the property's rough condition and potential challenges like asbestos and rats, Cloud believes the project is financially feasible for him. Council members expressed skepticism about the project's feasibility, comparing it to past unsuccessful endeavors and citing concerns about it becoming a 'money pit'.
Substandard Property at 320 West Peach Street Ordered Demolished
The City Council declared the property at 320 West Peach Street a public nuisance and substandard structure, ordering its demolition. The owner, Brian Spadey, presented arguments for further extension, citing personal hardships and ongoing work, but the council ultimately decided against further leniency due to the prolonged period of inactivity and lack of substantial progress since initial timelines were established in 2022. Concerns were raised about the structure's condition, including water damage to framing and unsheathed roofing, and the lack of proper documentation like windstorm certifications. The council emphasized the need for consistency in enforcing city standards and addressing properties that negatively impact neighbors and the community's appearance.
105 North Rock Island Apartments Deemed Substandard, Demolition Ordered
The City Council voted to order the demolition of the property at 105 North Rock Island, deeming it a dilapidated, substandard, and unsafe structure. The property, which houses apartments, has been boarded up since a fire in August 2024. A builder, Antonio Cottillo, presented information regarding the extensive damage and the challenges faced by the owners in their dispute with the insurance company over repair costs. Despite the owner's representative outlining significant damage, including water damage, mold, charred structures, and the need for extensive rebuilding to current codes, the council cited the prolonged period of vacancy, lack of progress, and the ongoing insurance dispute as reasons for the demolition order. The property has a substantial mortgage, and the potential repair costs far exceed the insurance payout.
