Frank Staffenson Room �t45 City Hall Court House st. Paul, MN 551�J1 RE: 13�2 Pleasant Avenue St. Paul, '+�innesota Dear *2r. Staffenson: I represent my father, Dr. Geor�e Milavetz, who is the owner of the above property. The existing house was moved from another site onto a foundation at this property approxima,tely fifteen years a�o. Since that time the pronerty was sold and Dr. Milavetz purchased the contract for deed. Si�niPicant settlin� occurred and the purchaser under the contract for deed abandoned the property to Dr. ?�.ilavetz. Dr. M3 lavetz rented the propert,y with the understanding that the tenant would repair the foundation. The tenant abandoned the pro�ect prior to com�letion durin� the winter of 197�3-197Q. Dr. Milavetz since has attempted to obtain bids fron contractors to repair the foundation. In A•�axch, 1�79, Subterranean �'n€;ineering, Inc. , 7�+15 W�yzata Boulevard, r-�inne�polis , *.�innesota, 55�26, was employed to prepare a reoort outlinin� its Finc�3_n^� , :�.ncluding recozrunended rer�edial measures. According to the report we have received, the existin� building foundation is underlain by weak and compressib].e or�anic silty soils. '^he uppermost bedrock stratum underlying this site occurs at relativel,y shallow depths below present �rade, in the order of ten feet or less. Based on this report, we feel that it is ecomomically feasible to rehak�ilitate this proAerty. When this property is rehabilitated, it should have a a�arket value of approximately ��+O,OOd.00. We feel that the foundation can be repaired Por under �15,000.�0. . July 20, 1979 '�lrr. Frank Staf fens on Page Two In addition to the foundation work, we ex�ect to re�air both the interior and exterior of the home , replace the concrete front door stoop and build a new porch and steps at the rear door. ?Jr. '4ilavetz has had some diffi.cult,y in securin� bids from local contracters and as a result of this he has not entered into a contract to have the work �erformed. He has , however, secured and re�istered the buildin� with the city. The ya,rd is mowed and free from debris. T�te understand that the city will make inspections of the buildin� to see that it is secured and Dr. *�ilavetz will also see that the buildin� is frenuently inspected until the buildin� is rehabilitated. You may be sure that I wi11 devote my attention to this very urgent matter and have the �ob undertaken before Se�tember 1, 1979.
