Building Code Board of Appeals <br />Meeting Minutes <br />(DATE) <br />Page 4 of 27 <br />$140,000 and $240,000. In two years, no work was complete just a tiny bit. Gollin <br />states this shows abandonment. The hearing will show Severy Creek (Steve Louden) <br />made several misrepresentations to his customers. Gollin directs the board to the <br />exhibits provided in the packet. <br />Severy: <br />Mr. Louden states, Mr. Ruppert had a non -recoverable depreciation policy and he did <br />the roof to code and beyond, with class IV IR roof, which gives him a lifetime <br />discount. Louden states he increased the pay out from $22,900 to $56,000. It was a <br />bad policy with non -recoverable monies. Louden continues, I pulled a permit for the <br />roof and passed inspection. The siding was less than four pieces, less than one <br />square needs no permit. It was damaged before 2018 storm. Severy did not <br />authorize any one to start demo of the deck. Severy referred to last year's hearing <br />where he was charged with items not true. There would be no way he would not pull <br />a permit. Severy stated he added value and his goal is to use the insurance monies <br />given and if they cannot cover the work, the customer pays out of pocket. <br />Louden continues to second case, Fordyce Auto Center tried to get a new roof <br />through lawyers and mediation. They awarded "X" amount of money, from that <br />subtract attorney fees and Gordon received two checks from insurance and the net to <br />Severy Creek. Severy wrote a cashier's check ---- inaudible. Severy states he printed <br />his evidence for the board. <br />PRESENTATION OF EVIDENCE BY THE CITY: <br />Berry requests for the city to proceed with their evidence. <br />Ruppert Testimony <br />Gollin asked Mr. Ruppert and the board to look at Exhibit 2 from the packet, the <br />timeline of Mr. Ruppert's project. Mr. Gollin calls witness, Mr. John Ruppert who <br />states he has lived at 641 St. Andrews Lane, Louisville, CO for 18 years. Ruppert <br />continued, he needed repairs after the June 2018 hailstorm, which included a reroof, <br />siding, electrical landscape lights, and deck. Gollin asked after storm did he contact <br />Mr. Louden, Severy Creek Roofing? Ruppert met Louden at his home. Louden <br />reviewed the claim and items insurance inspected. Severy proposed a contract. <br />Gollin asked Mr. Ruppert and the board to look at Exhibit 3. Gollin asks if this an <br />accurate contract Ruppert agreed to with Louden.
