Mr. Eugene Bouligny stated that there is over 2200 square feet in the building and it would cost about $25,000 to restore it. He said that housing is badly needed in the area and it would upgrade the neighborhood. He also told that vandals have caused considerable destruction to the building,and charged that "the reason the property is in this derelict condition is because of the ten-month delay in getting the tax lien problem solved with the City." Mr. Jerry Jernigan, a builder, explained the extensive improvements contemplated for the structure, saying they plan to restore it to excellent condition, including wall-to-wall carpeting and central air. He stressed that the building is sound with a sound roof and that there is adequate parking for the apartments; and that it must be converted to a duplex or triplex in order to get a return on their investment. Mayor Pro Tem Tipton called for -those in opposition, and Mr. Carlos Chapa, Jr. told the Council he was speaking for his parents, who have lived on their property at 4307 Barrera for 26 years.
