Notice is hereby given that the City of Jonestown Board of Adjustment and Appeals held a hearing on April 14, 2025, regarding building(s) on property located at 11119 Third Street, Jonestown, Travis County, Texas 78645. The Board found from evidence presented at the public hearing that the building(s) is/are substandard, constitute a public nuisance, and in violation of the minimum standards set forth in the Code of Ordinances and the Unified Development Code of the City of Jonestown and that the defects or conditions exist to the extent that life, health, property and safety of the public are endangered; and that the substandard conditions could not be remedied by repairing both structures to minimum building standards; the Owner did not object to the evidence of substandard defects presented at the public hearing and agreed that the Building(s) required demolition; the Owner has not presented a plan of repair; that forty-five days is reasonable and sufficient time to schedule and carry out demolition; and that Shawne Ellen Donahue Welcher, owner of said property, is ordered to demolish the Building(s) within 45 days of the date of this Order.

If the work to demolish or remove the building(s) is not completed within the period of time referenced in the preceding paragraph and no appeal has been timely filed with the City Council or timely filed with any Court having jurisdiction to review this Order, then City of Jonestown will secure or demolish the building(s) without further notice and charge all expenses incurred by the City to the Owner. If the Owner does not reimburse the City for its expenses, the City will place a lien upon the property for the amount owed. The costs, together with interest accruing at 10% per annum will be assessed as a charge against the land and will be a personal obligation of the owner.
