NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that based upon all of the testimony and evidence presented at the October 22, 1987 hearing, the St. Paul City Council hereby adopts the following Findings and Order concerning the structure at 1595 North Dale : l . That Ms . Marguerite Dunn is the owner of a vendee ' s interest in a contract for deed regarding the Subject Property. 2 . That on December 20, 1978, a building permit No. 065181 was issued to Ms . Marguerite Dunn for the construction of a single family dwelling on the Subject Property. Ms . Dunn lives in a small " home on the Subject Property which has been assigned the address of 1593 Dale. Ms . Dunn has indicated she would convert this small home into a garage upon completion of the new dwelling. 3 . That in 1978 Ms . Dunn filed a statement with the Building Department stating she would be doing the foundation construction on the new dwelling herself . 4 . That in November, 1979 the City received at least one complaint from neighbors concerning a partially completed foundation on the Subject Property. 5 . That on or before March 30, 1981 the foundation was completed. 6 . That as of October 13, 1982, no further construction had been done on the site and the building permit was cancelled. `� ��, 1�� .� I f� -2- � �� 7 . That from October, 1982 to the present date, no other building permits have been applied for nor has there been any further work on the construction site. 8 . That on or about February 15, 1984 the wooden cap on the foundation had deteriorated and ultimately collapsed causing an open and hazardous condition for the neighborhood. 9 . On February 17 , 1984 the City ordered Ms . Dunn to make the foundation safe. Ms. Dunn appealed this order to the City Council and after a hearing held on March 13 and 22 , 1984 , the Council denied Ms . Dunn' s appeal . Because Ms . Dunn indicated her intent to complete the construction of the house, the Council gave Ms . Dunn the option to make the area safe either by recapping the foundation with the idea she would be building or locating a house on that site, or by demolition of the foundation. Ms . Dunn chose to recap the foundation and did so on or before April 25, 1984 . 10 . During the pendency of the above appeal, it was necessary for the City to erect a fence around the above property to make the area safe . 11 . That since 1987 , numerous complaints have been received by the City about this unfinished house or capped foundation and its blighting influence on the neighborhood, as well as expressed concerns for neighborhood safety. 12 . That the foundation at 1595 Dale Street constitutes a nuisance under the general terms of Section 45 . 02 of the St. Paul Legislative Code in tha-t it is a building or portion of a building which if allowed to remain in its present state of incompletion threatens public peace and safety, is offensive and has a blighting influence on the community. 13 . That since March, 1981 the house and foundation at 1595 Dale has been unoccupied and in a partially completed condition, and therefore is an abanczonea building and a nuisance under the provisions of Section 45 . 01 ( 1 ) and 45 . 02 ( 11 ) of the St. Paul Legislative Codes . 14 . That the uncapped foundation on the Subject Property will continue to be an abandoned building whose structural condition and security is likely to deteriorate unless steps are taken to complete the house for which this foundation was initially con- structed or the structure is demolished. �c_._ � � �� -3- 1 �- 2z�-:�'` �'.% . � � �1'=��/5�� 15 .

The legal description of the property is: Lanes North Dale Park, 15 6. The building is an incomplete house located at the front of the lot. The subject property has been unoccupied since February 1984. This building has stood unoccupied for longer than one year and meets one or more of the conditions that constitute an abandoned building, as defined in Chapter 45 of the St. Paul Legislative Code. On August 31, 1987, the Building Inspection and Design Division mailed an order to the owners, interested parties and responsible parties of this building requiring that the building be either repaired, by correcting the attached list of deficiencies, or demolished on or before September 21, 1987. Inasmuch as the orders have not been completed to the satisfaction of the Division and the continued abandoned condition of the building contributes a blighting influence and a potential hazard to the neighborhood, it is the recommendation of the Division that the City Council pass a resolution ordering the owners, interested parties and responsible parties to either repair or demolish the building in a timely manner to the satisfaction of the City. . � (��- ��- %�; � Letter to President and Members of the City Council (Continued) In the event the owners, interested parties or responsible parties fail to comply with the Council Resolution, the Building Inspection and Design Division should be authorized to demolish the building and assess all costs incurred in the demolition against the real estate as a special assessment to be collected in the same manner as taxes.

L�etter of Marguerite D�n was read r�questing a layover bec;auae her attorney Was '' naE avail�le this morning because of other carmitments. Steve Roy of the Building Department, said there is a cone�n .about exterding this matter any longer. President Masanz said if there is ra objection, the Coi,ncil can hear from staff and fl-an the neighbors but he thinl� the Council sh�uld honor the Dum request. Steve Roy recited the back�-o�.md of the matter �d said that on February 15, they found the condition which is under discussion today arid issued an order. He then circulated pictta�es to the Co�mcil which he said were indicative of the condition. Mr. Roy said there would be a hazard to children for any delays while the department waited for a decision fYom the Couicil as to whether to proceed or not. Janice� Rettman of the Housing Office, said she lives right down the street from the property ar�d the Commi.mity Council has had considerable involvment in the matter �d has made a report. She said the situation has been looked into by her staff and in the assessment of her staff and others, there are ra monies to complete this house for several reasons. She said the situation has existed off and on for about six years and 'she noted there is about 16 inches of water standing and there are piles of junk which could injure a child or a senior citizen. She said the second thing is that Ms. Dunn is living i.n a garage ar�d the question before the CB�.mci1 is whether or not this structure is a haz.a�-d. She said there will be no money available to convert this to a house in the fLture and she said nothing has been done over the years except to concrete the wall. Ms. Rettman said this a deteriorating condition and that Ms. Durm has been living in the garage for about seve� years. _ Councilman Scheibel said he has sane reservations for laying the matter over to March 22. Ms. Rettman posed the question of City liability since there is no fencing and the City has now been advised of the situation and it seems like a wonderflal place for a child to play. She said she wants to be sure she is advised of �y responsibilities. City Attorney, Ed Starr, explained the tort situation as it applies to the City and said he has doubts whether the City would primarily be responsible but it seems to him there would be sane responsibility. Ms. Rettm� said her staff is rea�y, willing and able to provide alternative (Discussion oontinued on following page.) �.. � � � ��7 �5�� March 13, �98� -117- ! (Discussion continued frcm previous page.) I ' housing to Ms. Dunn. President Masanz said this is a Catch 22 situation inasmuch as Ms. Dunn would like to camplete the house but she is unable to and she's not able to go on welfare because of the asset situation and she does not want to sell the h�t,tse which would then allow her� to go on welfare because of the fUnds that would accrue from the sale. President Masanz said Ms. Dunn refuses to give the �P�Y � �d she doesn't have the mor�ey to ffx it. � s. Rettman said selective clearance might be an answer but that still is a , problen because NLs. Dur� still owns the property. Frank Staffenson said �the situation has been going on for a rnamber of years and there has r�ever been money available to complete the structure. He said the °adepartment has t�ad a rn.anber of stories on how it was going to be c�mpleted wer the y at-s �d he would recarunnend flagging that hane. He said the tnle shou],d b� a �il.l and the Public Works Dept. caa� go in with 4 or 5 loads of dirt and at � leas make it safe. He said he doesn�t think you'll see a h�use on tha� plr'oQe�tY far the present and u�der the present a�wnership. Mr. Roy said a1 February 16th, an inspection was made and subsequent to that, Ms. Dt,mn called him in to a foyer area and told him she has been harrassed by ' the neighbors wer a n�unber of years. He said she also made accusations against the City department reg�ding the ramp, He said the letter was sent to fix the � rar� on March 7 and as of yesterday, this has not been done. Mr. Starr responded to a question from Coumcilm� Masanz �d said it would be appropriate to lay the matt� over before a final decision so as to avoid any questions of Ms. Umn s legal rights in the hearing process and he said that in ' the event that Ms. Durm and/or- h�- representative do not appear at the next I meeting, the Coi.a�cil would be within its rights to made a decision inasmuch as ttye hearing is a privilege given by the Council and assuming that Ms. Dunn were i f given the option of appearing at the public hearing. ; The neighbors also cited instances of harrassing behavior by Ms. Dunn against � � MTC bus drivers and sical force � Mr. Staffenson said asnow fence coul be put a our�idl the p operty f�- a limited time i.a�til the department comes in to fill the property which may be a week to � ten days. I Mr. Swanson of 1557 N. Dale said the ramp was picked up by an insurance ad�uster and the neighbors have been putting up with this situation for 5 or 6 •years. He � said there is a ten yard pile of dirt that has been on the property for years ( and Mr. Swansa� was critical of President Masanz's inability to resolve the � problem. . An t�identified lady said it was not fair for the neighbors to come down to the t Council today, particularly because it is her understanding that Ms. Dunn I; requested this meeting. She said it is hard for the neighbors to come down because many of them are senior citizens and she said Ms. Dunn should not be i allowed to get away with this. , Marguerite Swanson made some general comments about the lack of housekeeping of ��; the area and said Ms. Dunn has not shoveled the snow in the weeks past ar�d she seems to be gone from the premises most of the time. She said she felt Ms. Dunn � should have to canply with sane standarc3s. Another t.midentified lady said she lives across the street from Ms.Dunn and the previous speakers each commented about the harrassment perpetrated on the neighbors by Ms. Dunn and said the harrassment also included in soine case physical intimidation, threats of violence and even violence. Councilman Drew said he thinks that the Council is in agreement that something : should be done and if a snow fence is to be put up, a deputy sheriff should be in attendance. Another �identified woman relayed a situation involving some boulders on the boulevard area and she said she believes there is a hazard here and she noted ; she lives one-half block away so she's not as affected as the people who live across the street. Councilman Nicosia said the purposes for the public debate have been served and ' she noted this is a dangerous situation and there are sane things the Council (Discussion continued on following �ge.) � !; � Ii i • i � � � ��7�5�� i -118- March 13, 1984 (Discussion continued fran previous page.) � can do.

' Elma Cronk complained of her assessment of $1,273.�5 and the circumstances surrow�ding the assessment. Frank Staffenson said the letter had been sent to Ms. Gronk in May or Jt,�e of � 1983 and wor-k a� the sew� was canpleted in October. Ms. Cronk said that the testing,showed there was a h�le in the sewer and what she signed for was for the City to do the work. She said she'd been told that the cost would be $75.00 per ho�.a�. Ms. Cronk said she had signed the pepers I saying the City could take care of it and that she didn't lmow she could hire someone to do the worl� She said the h41e was foi.md in the street area and in the process of repairing the sewer, they also punctured a water pipe. She said the City inspector told her if the hole in the pipe was under her �operty, it � would be her responsibility and if it was on the City property, it would be the City's responsibility. She said they dug a hole in the boulevard area and couldn't find anything but they did find the hole in the street area. , Cotmcilman Nicosia said whoever made that statement was incorrect because the property owner owns that sewer line all the way to the main. He said the in�i,u-y to the water line should not be a part of her bill.

Dear Ms. Dunn: - On July 31, 1987, you came into my office to respond to a letter I sent you July 23, 1987. You advised me you are applying for a rehabilitation loan from the Department of Planning and Economic Development (P.E.D).) to complete the unfinished house on the front of your lot. I called Curt Miller of P.E.D. on August 4, 1987 and was advised he is familiar with your situation. He advised me you do not qualify for a loan from their department because they only process loans for rehabilitation or remodelling of existing structures, not for new construction. � It may be necessary for you to pursue other sources of money to complete the � house.

As you are aware, our District Council discussed the matter of either ordering the property repaired for occupancy, or torn down. The Council listened to neighbors, Ms. Dunn the owner of the property, and Steve Roy from Building Inspection. Emotions were riding high and that some- times made it difficult to focus on the issue at hand. We do feel h�owever that some level of concensus was reached. After Board discussion on the suggestions made, we are recommending the following actions be taken. by the City Council and the Building Inspection Division: - that this is an issue that must be resolved and not tabled or given extensions. - that a timetable for action be prepared by� Ms. Dunn and presented to the City Council on October 22 at the Public Hearing. - that 90 days to begin repair is reasonable and should be used as our neighborhood guideline for action. . - that if no "good faith effort" is made in that time, that the City Council take measures to have the property demolished. These recommendations were made and passed unanimously by the Board of the District 10 Community Council . Sincerel , Kay E.
