NHills passes ‘pioneering’ demolition ordinance By Rose Lane Editor Called “pioneering” by Nichols Hills City Attorney John Williams, the City Council approved an ordinance requiring any buyer of a piece of property who intends to demolish a house on it to put up a surety bond.

That 2 percent of the market value of the property, as determined by the Oklahoma County Assessor’s Office, is designed to encourage the buyer to build another home on the property rather than to let it sit vacant. Once the new home and the inspection is completed, the bond will be returned to the owner.

“There is not another like this in Oklahoma,” Williams said. The ordinance was crafted after several such incidences of vacant lots occurred in Nichols Hills. “I don’t care if they decided to go elsewhere,” Councilwoman Sody Clements said. “My motive is to preserve (the existing

home) and not to tear down. Maybe they will think long and hard before they tear down the house.” Councilman haggled over what the percentage of market value should be. The wording in the original ordinance would have imposed a $116,000 bond on a $1 million piece of property

Twins have Hope and Faith in their talents and abilities

“I think this is a little too strong, but I want to do something,” Mayor Steve Goetzinger said. “I don’t want an execution, but at least a slap on the wrist.” The council came to agreement on the 2 percent figure, which would be $20,000 on a $1 million piece of property.

Marijuana growing rules, carports top The Village agenda

By Sara Schlecht Student Intern

The 18-year-old Steedman twins are two of five total sisters. Faith is older by eight minutes, making Hope the younger. Both have been dancing since they were 3-years-old. The home-schooled teens have both competed in dance competitions, but each of them has found their own niche in performance and competitions. At recent competitions, both of them took home titles. When she competed at a local pageant, Faith won the title Miss Capital City 2019. “It was my very first pageant,” she said. “I didn’t really know anything about it until I was there. “To all of our surprise, I won. I went on to compete for Miss Oklahoma.” At the Miss Oklahoma pageant, Faith was the third-youngest competitor. Despite this, she said she gained a lot of confidence from the experience.

In a single line item, The Village City Council agenda dealt with regulations concerning the growing and processing of medicinal marijuana and setback requirements for carports. Ordinance 747, which was passed by a unanimous vote of the council, will make it illegal for renters or property owners to use residential property for the growing and processing of marijuana. Secondly, the ordinance adjusted the setback requirements for carports to no less than 25 feet from the property

line to the support column. Assistant City Attorney Jeff Sabin said the issue stems from the fact the city has been treating the setbacks for carports different from buildings. The problem was brought to light by a resident’s desire to be able to access the ramp to her home from her car, thus staying out of the elements. Councilman Sonny Wilkinson asked if rather a variance could be granted, but the assistant attorney and City Manager Bruce Stone said that this action was more appropriate. “I don’t like changing ordinances on one example,” Wilkinson said.

New John Marshall principal hopes for a smooth transition By Scott Wanish Special to OKC FRIDAY

John Marshall High School will be seeing change next month as Centennial High School closed in May. Its students will be assimilating to John Marshall.

TWINS From Page 1 “I learned that my age does not define me,” she said. “I have a lot of life experience and knowledge, and that matters.” She applied this life experience and knowledge with the social impact she presented at the competitions. Faith’s interest in how social media and mental illness can affect young people allowed her to come up with a challenge she calls “one-day ditch,” in which people would spend one day of the week without any sort of social media use. “Do what you need to do and also have some time to reevaluate things that went wrong this week or things that you want to do better this week — whether that’s on social media or just for you,” she said in explanation of the challenge. “Kids especially get drowned in social media. Encouraging them to take the one-day ditch could be really rewarding for them.” Hope said she has “dipped her toes” in lots of different things but has found dance to be her favorite. She has been heavily involved in dance competitions, although she did also compete in the same local pageant as Faith. “I have done dance competitions since I was 10,” she said. “I’ve been competing for titles since I was 13. I’ve gotten second place a lot of times. It was always my goal to win. It was my friends who beat me, so it was exciting but it also made me work harder.” Hope spent much of the most recent dance competition season with a leg injury and was only able to compete twice. She was only cleared to dance a few days before Encore Dance Nationals. Her current title is Miss Encore Dance Oklahoma 2019. She recently competed at Encore Dance Nationals, performing with a team and a solo. Hope was first runner-up with her solo at this national competition. “Dance is my way of expressing my feelings and communicating with people,” she said. “It’s something I’ve been trained in since I was little. I feel like when I step out onstage, it’s not just me presenting myself but it’s me presenting a story and sharing that with the judges and audience.” Faith and Hope said they are both incredibly grateful to their dance teachers for their help and guidance, as well as Faith’s mentors from Miss Oklahoma for helping her prepare for the competition. Hope said the next step in her “dance journey” is a dance tour in the Philippines. She hasn’t decided if she wants to keep competing but will keep dance as an important part of her life. “I teach dance, so maybe this year I’ll send some girls to competitions,” she said. From her brief introduction to

pageants, Faith said she learned that she loves them and wishes to continue. Her first pageant for the upcoming season will occur in the next few weeks, and she is sure she’ll have plenty of opportunities for more competitions this year. “I am going to try to go back to Miss Oklahoma,” she said.

Aliya Hefner Fellowship is awarded The Aliya Hefner Pediatric Fellowship was awarded to pediatric cardiologist, Dr. Bradley Marino of the Ann and Robert Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago. Dr. Marino specializes in Pediatric Critical Care and was selected because of his outstanding work in comprehensive family long term support for patients and their caregivers. He is a graduate of Harvard Medical School and did his residency at Johns-Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore. His recent visit to OU Children’s Hospital was celebrated with a private dinner,

PRINCIPAL From Page 1 said. “Not in a bad way, just a whole lot of new. I want the transition to be as seamless as possible.” Ambriz, who was officially approved as principal June 24 by the school board, said John Marshall has been hosting welcoming activities for the Centennial students such as lunches with the JMHS cheerleaders. “The biggest challenge will definitely be the merging of the two schools, creating a culture and creating a staff to do the difficult work to truly make a difference,” Jeanne said. “They’ll never grow as educators if they don’t go out of their comfort zones. I truly want John Marshall to be the top school in the Oklahoma City district.” Ambriz, 37, was a teacher from 2010-17 and an assistant principal the past two school years. She began her teaching career in San Diego, Calif. where she resided for the initial 32 years of her life. “My parents moved to Oklahoma so I have family out here,” Ambriz said. “I’ve always had a great time coming out here.”

Tragically, in 2011, Jeanne’s parents lost their home in a tornado. “People we didn’t even know offered a rental house that was vacant.” The people in Oklahoma and the bond she builds with students is a big part in why Ambriz is an Oklahoman. “Many days I miss the classroom,” she said. “I was much more direct but now my

reach is far greater as an administrator. I’m huge on teachers working collaboratively and being transparent. “I want to put systems in place to keep students from falling through the gaps. She said she is “extremely excited” about the new role. “I’ve always been one to take on huge tasks, even as a little kid. I love a challenge and I have a real rapport with people.”

Worry about the important stuff Reprinted from OKC Friday Fri, Aug 17, 2010

OTS OF FOLKS nowadays are worried about things like Iran’s nuclear drive, our trillion-dollar deficit and tax cuts for the rich. What they ought to be worried about are quarterbacks and wide receivers at OU and OSU. Without adequate attention to these latter important matters, our state could suffer bad embarrassment. Our football programs cover a wide range of significant issues. David Boren and Burns Hargis have done all right when you put the first two weeks of the season together. Burns scored a runaway victory in the season opener and barely scraped by in the second game.

The Best of J. Leland Gourley Reprinted from OKC FRIDAY David had a midnight-hour worrier the first game of the season and then smothered the opposition in the next one. So far a Burns-David standoff. Take it easy on both of them so far. There are a plethora of problems associated with running a football team in a giant stadium with tens of thousands of people in them; and hundreds of thousands of others in the state who couldn’t get tickets. Seriously, huge crowds are likely targets for anti-American terrorists and that takes a lot of precautions. Dogs search the stadium for explosives

before they’ll let you in. All kinds of measures are taken as precautions. Women’s purses, for example. They have always been dangerous in many ways, so they can not be overlooked. I tapped into a secret phone call Boren made to Hargis and here’s what I heard: DAVID--Burns, mine is bigger than yours. BURNS-- Oh, no, David, our margins of victory in the first two games combined, are about the same. DAVID -- I’m talking about women’s purses. At OU we allow women to get in the stadium with a 10 by 10 purse, 100 square inches. You make them hold it to 8 by 11, 88 inches. BURNS -- OSU is more cautious, of course. And besides, David, we wouldn’t want to be identified as a square. 10 by 10 is a square.

Goodbye Russell. I can’t believe it’s over. I fell head over heels for Russell Westbrook the first time I saw him play for the OKC Thunder. This didn’t particularly worry my husband since I was old enough to be Russell’s grandmother. Russell did a promotion with designer Perry Ellis and Dillard’s early in his career here. If I bought a shirt for $100 or more, I could stand in line, and Russell would autograph a basketball. I still have it. “I love to watch you play, because I played guard too, when I was in high school,” I gushed. He looked up at me. Suddenly my tongue was stuck to the roof of my mouth like it was glued there. “Where did you play?” he asked. “John Marshall High School here in Oklahoma City.” I managed to reply.

In MY Opinion by VICKI CLARK GOURLEY vicki@okcfriday.com Seemly interested, he asked me, “Really, what year.” “Uhh, it might have been before you were born Russell,” I squeaked (as if he hadn’t already figured that out). Through the years, Russell remained my favorite. We bought season tickets and attended every home game just to watch him play. What an amazing talent. Now he’s going to Houston to play with “The Beard.” It’s heartbreaking.

It’s party time for our birthday boys and girl! O

h, but we were a messy bunch. Patti Mellow invited friends to celebrate husband Mark’s birthday, and she offered everything from beef tenderloin to corny dogs! At one time the chocolate “cake pops” got away from some guests and bits fell to the marble floor. Going into the kitchen, I found Mark with damp paper towels, wiping up chocolate from the floor. Handsomely clad in a white shirt with stitched whimsical figures, Birthday Mark didn’t look like kitchen help. Asking why he was on the floor, I got a fastidious answer, “Our dogs will come home tomorrow, and they can’t eat chocolate!” What a sweetheart. Folks celebrating Mark’s birthday, were Patsy Gabarino, Suzie and Stan Hupfeld, Cynda Ottaway, Donna Reinhart, Marnie and Clayton Taylor, Joe Freeman, Lisa Synar, Donna and Bruce Lawrence, Kathy and Sherm Lawton, Michael Pone, Liz and Clark Ward, Skye Mellow and her friend Will Day who was newly home from Afghanistan. • Pretty Elaine Levy was honored by friends Jackie Bendorf, Sherry Bennett, Jamie Gaddis, Linda Garner and Edie Roodman with a birthday party at The Merret in Nichols Hills Plaza. It was very girly as we sipped champagne, nibbled on treats and birthday cake. Among those celebrating were Mary Anne Malone, Ellie Roberts, Alicia George, Cindi Shelby, Jeanne Blair, Hedra Merson, Joan Gilmore, Susan Raupe, Alyson Ray – who is Elaine’s daughter, Linda Rodgers and Gennie Johnson. Gathering in the courtyard of the cute little place were Rita Dearmon, Vicki

Gourley, Mary Price, Janie Axton, Suzanne Cunningham, Carol Asin, Annie Bohanon, Carol Kaspereit, Judy Love and Terri Cooper. Other guests were Kelsey Walters, Betty Jo Hill, Delores Mueller, Elizabeth Wilson, Anne Gray, Jenny Price, Pam Smith, Anne Dalton and Edith Laird. • In the parlance of a kid, “You are invited to Jimmy’s Birthday Party” began the invitation for a rip-roaring shindig at little Jimmy Hammack’s house – he is celebrating his 75th year. Little Jimmy planned his own celebration with classmates from NW Classen, some fellow dentists and some other old pals. Tolerant and amused wife Beth just rolled her eyes and called a caterer. That was a great thing as so many wonderful food dishes covered the dining room table. Thankfully little Jimmy’s friends who were also turning 75 somewhere about now, knew enough not to draw stick-figures on the walls with crayon or to put their fingers into the light sockets. But they have figured out how to party! Among those partying-on were Judi and Bill Benson, Tina and Gib Coleman, Bev and Roy Smith, Patty and Roland Tague, Alice and Don Dahlgren, Carolyn and John Coffey, and Janie and Jon Axton. Funny Linda Dunn approached and said, “Do you know what today is?” Finding that my response “National Take an

Earthworm to the Movies Day” was incorrect, she flicked her precious earrings: cameras. National Camera Day – how did I miss that? Linda’s husband Don Dunn, Judy Phillips, Sidney and Joe Wilson, Marsha Zahn, Helen and Bobby Sullivan, Barbara and George Dhanke, Troy Wilson, Toby and Phil Walker, the Hammacks daughter Jamie and her husband Tucker Nix, Mike and Kay Smith, Karen Ingram, Bob Hammack and Sally Lamprich, Inda and John Burchfiel, Keith Hammack, Ann and Bob Gilliland, Jim Case, Dee and John Harris, Larry Parman, and Nancy and Gary Piccolo were also guests. Dodging the balloon festooned ceiling were Gale and Jim Askins, Anne and Barry Gray, Terry and Hank Bradley, Diane and Paul Visor, and Becky Hill Davidson who haughtily told me that she and Jim had been Yearbook King and Queen, and then she broke into giggles. Carol Cissne invited me to her son’s art showing at La Baguette – and you’re to come welcome also! Our invitations pictured a slightly smiling/slightly apprehensive Jim sitting on Santa’s lap. That set the tone for the fun that was to come. Oh, it wasn’t a recent photo, did I need to tell you that? Our invitations also stated: TIME: 7-11 p.m. (if you can stay up that late). Calling Beth to be sure I was spelling some names correctly (see, this writing thing isn’t as easy as you think), I found she had just awakened from a twohour nap. Guess maybe some folks managed that 11 p.m. curfew, bet they’re sorry today – maturing comes with consequences.

(7)

The invoice or receipt indicating the building has been treated for rodent extermination as required by Section 8-385.

(9)

For demolition or moving of dwellings, as required by Section 50-129: a. b. c. d. e. f.

An approved building permit for a replacement dwelling. Construction documents for the replacement dwelling. Evidence of the ownership and management of the owner(s) if the owner(s) (or any of them) is not an individual(s). Evidence of the intended owner(s) and occupant(s) of the replacement dwelling. Evidence of the ability of the intended owner(s) of the replacement dwelling to be able to finance its construction. A bond or surety to ensure the owner(s)’ compliance with Section 50-129.

The application will be considered officially submitted and filed only after it is examined by the City Manager or his designee and found to be complete. Section 2. Section 50-129 of the Nichols Hills City Code is amended as follows, with new language underlined, and deleted language dashed through, to wit: Sec. 50-129. Demolition or moving of dwellings; construction of replacement dwellings. (a) General. The demolition of dwellings in the City and the moving of dwellings from one location to another, whether that location is within the City or outside it, must comply with all applicable provisions of Chapter 8, including Article IX, Building Moving and Demolition, and the additional requirements set out in this Section. The definitions set out in Section 8-373 and other definitions in this chapter apply to this Section. (b) Demolition or moving of dwellings for speculative purposes prohibited. It is the intent of this Section to prohibit the demolition and moving of sound and habitable dwellings for speculative purposes. Speculative purposes include demolition or moving of a dwelling for construction of a new dwelling by any person without a written commitment from a prospective owner(s) and occupant(s) of the proposed dwelling for whom the dwelling is to be custom built using custom building plans as opposed to stock building plans. Except as provided herein, no dwelling shall be demolished or moved without an appropriate permit from the City as set out in this Section and Chapter 8, Article IX, Building Moving and Demolition. (c) Administrative approval authorized related to casualties. Pursuant to Section 8-306, the City Manager is authorized to issue a demolition or building moving permit for demolition or moving of a dwelling that has been damaged by fire, wind, explosion, accident or other casualty to a point where city inspection determines removal or demolition to be in the best interests of the public health, safety, and welfare. (d) Requirement for construction of replacement dwelling. It is in the best interest of all residents in the City that a lot not remain vacant for an extended length of time. Therefore, unless the requirement is waived by the City Manager or his designee for good cause, applications for permits to demolish or move a dwelling will not be approved unless the owner(s) intends in good faith to build a replacement dwelling that would meet the requirements for construction of a dwelling in the applicable Residential District as set out in this Code. Owner(s) who seek a permit pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section and Section 8-306 will be given an appropriate extended length of time to provide the requirements related to the replacement dwelling.

Requirement for bond or surety. Unless the requirement to construct a replacement dwelling is waived by the City Manager or his designee as set out in subsection (d), applications for permits to demolish or move a dwelling will not be approved until the owner(s) has filed a bond or surety with the City Clerk. Such bond or surety shall run in favor of the City and guarantee that the owner(s) will fully comply with all provisions of this Section. Such bond or surety shall be in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the then-current market value of the subject land and improvements as established by the Oklahoma County Assessor. In lieu of a bond or surety, the owner(s) may deposit cash in the required amount with the City Clerk. The City Clerk will hold the funds in escrow until an occupancy permit is issued for the replacement dwelling at which time the funds will be returned to the owner(s). The City may draw against the funds to satisfy the payment of any unpaid fines or penalties assessed against the owner(s) or the property. If the owner(s) fails to fulfill the obligations imposed, or breaches any such obligations, there shall be recoverable, jointly and severally, from the principal and sureties, any damages or loss suffered by the City proximately resulting from the owner(s)’ failure to faithfully perform the obligations imposed by this Section. The funds will be deemed forfeited in total to the City upon the passage of four years and the owner(s)’ failure to comply with this Section.

(e f)

Application for permit. Persons wishing to demolish or move a dwelling shall file a written application for a permit to do so as set out in Section 8-378. Applications must be certified by the owner(s) of the dwelling.

(f g)

City Manager review; issuance of permit. The City Manager or his designee shall assess the application. A permit to demolish or move a dwelling shall be issued by the City Manager or his designee if he finds that the applicant has complied with this Section, all applicable provisions of Chapter 8, and that such work can be safely performed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City Manager or his designee may, in his discretion, set the application for hearing before the Planning Commission and the City Council.

(g h)

Commencement and completion of replacement dwelling construction. The owner(s) must cause construction of the replacement dwelling to commence within 60 days after completion of the demolition or building moving unless otherwise agreed by the City Manager or his designee. The owner(s) must thereafter cause completion of the replacement dwelling to be diligently pursued without any unreasonable or unnecessary suspension or abandonment of the construction work. Unless otherwise agreed by the City Manager or his designee, the owner(s) must obtain an occupancy permit no later than four years after the date the building permit is issued for the replacement dwelling.

(h i)

Maintenance of vacant property. After the dwelling has been demolished or moved and until construction of the replacement dwelling is complete, the site must be maintained as required by Section 8-380.

Section 3. repealed.

(1)

Evasion of regulations prohibited. The demolition or moving of dwellings with the intent of evading the applicable provisions of this Code, including this Section, is prohibited.

(2)

Violations are misdemeanors. Any violation of the provisions of this Code regarding demolition or moving of dwellings, including this Section, will be deemed a misdemeanor. Appropriate actions and proceedings may be taken by law or in equity to prevent such violations, to prevent unlawful demolition and moving of dwellings, to recover damages, and to restrain, correct, or abate a violation of the provisions of this Code regarding demolition or moving of dwellings. Any person who conducts an unlawful demolition or unlawful moving of any dwelling shall be required to pay the demolition or building moving fee then in effect, multiplied by 50. Any person who knowingly violates any provision of this Section shall, upon conviction, be subject to a fine of not more than $200.00. Each day that a violation exists shall constitute a separate and distinct offense. In addition, the owner of such site must obtain a building permit for a replacement dwelling that complies with this Section within 60 days having committed such misdemeanor.

(3)

Public nuisance. All vacant properties from which a dwelling has been demolished or moved and on which a replacement dwelling is not being constructed as required by this Code and/or that are not maintained as required by Section 8-380 are hereby declared to be public nuisances, and they may be dealt with and abated as such. Any persons maintaining any such nuisance will be guilty of an offense, and each day upon which any such nuisance continues is a separate offense.

Section 4. The provisions of this ordinance are severable and if any part or provision hereof shall be adjudged invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such adjudication shall not affect or impair any of the remaining parts or provisions hereof.

Judy’s Savvy at Seventy - Photos by Joy Richardson

Beth and Jim Hammack, can you tell by his grin that he is hosting his own birthday party?

Celebrating birthdays

Savvy at Seventy was the theme of Judy Austin’s recent birthday party. Centerpieces were fresh lavender plants with purple twinkle lights on top of lavender tablecloths. The party was in her back yard which has a koi pond and waterfall. Flowering plants were everywhere. Entertainment was provided by Campbell Fields and his trio. Her uncle and cousins from Dallas and her son, daughter-in-law and two youngest grandchildren came in from Houston. Close

friends from Judy’s volunteer work also came including some that have been celebrating their birthdays together for 20 years. There was also a cake for Campbell Fields (his birthday was the day before) and one for Wendi Wilson (who has the same birthday). Catering was by Kam’s Kookery and included smoked salmon, tenderloin, grilled vegetables and much more. The cakes were made by My Cake Friend. Judy already has a theme for her 80th!

Long-time friends: Sarah Sagran, Barb Shrago, Marcia Crook, Karen Hargrove, Judy Austin, Kirstin Reynolds, Donna Friedberg and Judie Steelman.
