Laid Over Summary Abatements: SSWR�PAIR1 Sanitary sewer service repair at 1787 Ames Avenue. J0102W Towing of abandoned vehicle from private property at 915 Agate Street. J0102AA Property clean-up at 927 Hudson Road. JOlO1BB Boarding-up of a property at 609 Smith Avenue South. 1787 Ames Avenue (No one appeazed to represent the property.) Gerty Strathman recommends approval of the assessment. 915 A�ate Street Steve Magner reported that he would like the assessment deleted because the owner repurchased and picked up his vehicle. Gerry Strathman recommends deleting the assessment per recommendation of staff. 927 Hudson Road (No one appeared to represent the property.) Gerry Strathman recommends approval of the assessment and granting the owner two years to pay. (Note: The owner appeazed after the meefing commenced to request that he be given 2 years to pay. Mr. Stratbman accepted this request and added it to his recommendation.} 609 Smith Avenue South Shirley Williams, owner, 5423 Williams Avenue, White Beaz Township, appeazed and stated on 12-30-00, her great g�andson set fire to a mattress at 611 Smith Avenue South. The Fire Department put out the fire and knocked a hole in the window of the small bedroom. The Fire Department called someone in to board the window. It took one boazd, maybe six nails, and maybe 20 minutes. C�\-�� LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINUTES OF MAY 15, 2001 Page 2 Steve Magner reported the chazge for an emergency boazding is based on a contractual rate. The City stipulates the specifications. From there, it is open for bids, and the Ciry goes with the lowest bidder. There are two prices: one for daytime scheduled boazdings and the other boarding is for emergencies where the company has to be on site within two hours of receiving the call from the official City department. The emergency rates aze $200 to respond to the scene and $50 per opening. Mr. Magner suggests the owner turn over the assessment costs to her insurance company as part of the loss. Generally, the insurance companies cover this cost because the insured is suppose to limit any more liability or loss that can happen from leaving the building open. Gerry Strathman stated they should break down the cost for the owner. Mr. Magner responded the charge is $200 for the contractor to show up, there was one boazd, and one secure. The inspector did not indicate where the secure location was, but Mr. Magner can assume the contractor secured the structure when he left. A lot of the time, the Fire Department requires the contractor to put a hasp and a padlock on the properry. It is ui�iown if they did that in this case. Ms. Williams responded the house has never been vacated and it is open for the other side to come in. It is a side by side duplex. Gerry Strathman recommends reducing the assessment by $50, which brings the assessment to $255.00 plus the $45.00 administrative fees for a total assessment of $295.00. It is not clear from the record what the charge of the secure is for. File JOISUMA: Laid over summary abatement appeal for 916 Minnehaha Avenue East. (Laid over from 3-20-01) Gerry Strathman recommends laying over to the June 19, 2001, Legislarive Hearing. (The owner appeared for the May 1, 2001, Legislative Hearing because he was not notified that it had been canceled. He requested that his appeal be heard at the June 19, 2001, Legislative Hearing.) File JOISUMAA: Laid over summary abatement appeal for 980 Euclid Street. (Laid over from 4-17-01) Steve Magner stated 3ohn Betz (Code Enforcement) went to the property and found that a11 the cleanup occurred on the properry that was cited. Gerry Strathman recommends approval of the assessment. Resolution ordering the owner to remove or repair the building at 1236 Seventh Street East. If the owner fails to comply with the resolution, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. (Heard on 4-17-01. Also, the City Council changed the lay over date to 5-15-01.) Gerry Strathman stated the owners indicated they wanted to sell the building and needed some time to do that. Mr. Strathman agreed to continue tlus matter to June 19, and his recommendafion went to the City Council. The Ciry Council did not accept the recommendation, C.�\-S1� LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINLJTES OF MAY 15, 2001 Page 3 and sent it back to Mr. Strathman for a heazing today. Now, he needs to make another finding to send to the City Council. Marlyn and Robert Weber, owners, 4859 Gershwin Avenue North, Oakdale, appeazed. Mrs. Weber stated two Realtors haue been approached. They have had two mazket analyses; one analysis read that the property has potential. There were two people interested in buying the property. She is asking for additional rime to sell the property. Mr. Strathman stated he will have to recommend approval of the order to remove or repair. That recoxnmendation will go to the City Council on 7une 6, 2001. He suggested the owners attend this City Council meeting, and make their appeal directly to them. Mr. Magner suggested the owners apply for a team inspecfion from the Fire Department so they could get a list of the repair items to be completed to bring the building into compliance. Mr. Magner also suggested that the owners post a$2,000 performance bond to obtain six months to rehabilitate the structure. Mrs. Weber stated one person interested in the properry has been present at some meetings and knows the background of this property. The other buyer has been told they need to post a bond. Mrs. Weber stated they have had one month and that is not enough time to get started with anything. Mr. Strathman responded the City Council may be getting pressure from the neighborhood to do something about this building. That may be why they are unwilling to allow additional time. Mrs. Weber asked is there another City Council meefing after June 6 because they have a comxnitment on that day. Mr. Strathman responded this has to be at a public hearing, and it will have to be June 6. He suggested the owners speak to Councilmember Lanhy to request additional time. Gerry Strathman recommends approval of the resolution. Resolution ordering the owner to remove or repair the building at 923 Marion Street. If the owner fails to compiy with the resolution, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. (Rescheduled from 5-1-01 because the meeting was canceled} Steve Magner reported the building was condemned in February 2000. Eight stumnary abatement notices haue been issued to secure the building against trespass, tall grass, remove refuse, remove snow. On 2-24-01, an inspection of the building was conducted and a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condition was developed and photograpl�s were taken. An order to abate a nuisance building was issued on 2-23-01 with a compliance date of 3-26-01. As of this date, this property remains in a condition which comprises a nuisance as defined by the legislative code. Vacant building fees have been paid. Real Estate tases are unpaid in the aniount of $1,683.73. Estimated market value is $32,200. On 4-30-01, a code compliance � � �� LEGISLATIVE HEARING REPORT OF MAY 15, 2001 .,:_ , inspection was completed. Esrimated cost to repair, $35,000; estimated cost to demolish, $6,500 to $7,500. Stephen Kennedy, owner, appeazed and stated he talked to lus mortgage company to get a short sell with them. He had a buyer, but they were still negotiating.

Laid Over Summary Abatements: SSWR�PAIR1 Sanitary sewer service repair at 1787 Ames Avenue. J0102W Towing of abandoned vehicle from private property at 915 Agate Street. J0102AA Property clean-up at 927 Hudson Road. JOlO1BB Boarding-up of a property at 609 Smith Avenue South. 1787 Ames Avenue (No one appeazed to represent the property.) Gerty Strathman recommends approval of the assessment. 915 A�ate Street Steve Magner reported that he would like the assessment deleted because the owner repurchased and picked up his vehicle. Gerry Strathman recommends deleting the assessment per recommendation of staff. 927 Hudson Road (No one appeared to represent the property.) Gerry Strathman recommends approval of the assessment and granting the owner two years to pay. (Note: The owner appeazed after the meefing commenced to request that he be given 2 years to pay. Mr. Stratbman accepted this request and added it to his recommendation.} 609 Smith Avenue South Shirley Williams, owner, 5423 Williams Avenue, White Beaz Township, appeazed and stated on 12-30-00, her great g�andson set fire to a mattress at 611 Smith Avenue South. The Fire Department put out the fire and knocked a hole in the window of the small bedroom. The Fire Department called someone in to board the window. It took one boazd, maybe six nails, and maybe 20 minutes. C�\-�� LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINUTES OF MAY 15, 2001 Page 2 Steve Magner reported the chazge for an emergency boazding is based on a contractual rate. The City stipulates the specifications. From there, it is open for bids, and the Ciry goes with the lowest bidder. There are two prices: one for daytime scheduled boazdings and the other boarding is for emergencies where the company has to be on site within two hours of receiving the call from the official City department. The emergency rates aze $200 to respond to the scene and $50 per opening. Mr. Magner suggests the owner turn over the assessment costs to her insurance company as part of the loss. Generally, the insurance companies cover this cost because the insured is suppose to limit any more liability or loss that can happen from leaving the building open. Gerry Strathman stated they should break down the cost for the owner. Mr. Magner responded the charge is $200 for the contractor to show up, there was one boazd, and one secure. The inspector did not indicate where the secure location was, but Mr. Magner can assume the contractor secured the structure when he left. A lot of the time, the Fire Department requires the contractor to put a hasp and a padlock on the properry. It is ui�iown if they did that in this case. Ms. Williams responded the house has never been vacated and it is open for the other side to come in. It is a side by side duplex. Gerry Strathman recommends reducing the assessment by $50, which brings the assessment to $255.00 plus the $45.00 administrative fees for a total assessment of $295.00. It is not clear from the record what the charge of the secure is for. File JOISUMA: Laid over summary abatement appeal for 916 Minnehaha Avenue East. (Laid over from 3-20-01) Gerry Strathman recommends laying over to the June 19, 2001, Legislarive Hearing. (The owner appeared for the May 1, 2001, Legislative Hearing because he was not notified that it had been canceled. He requested that his appeal be heard at the June 19, 2001, Legislative Hearing.) File JOISUMAA: Laid over summary abatement appeal for 980 Euclid Street. (Laid over from 4-17-01) Steve Magner stated 3ohn Betz (Code Enforcement) went to the property and found that a11 the cleanup occurred on the properry that was cited. Gerry Strathman recommends approval of the assessment. Resolution ordering the owner to remove or repair the building at 1236 Seventh Street East. If the owner fails to comply with the resolution, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. (Heard on 4-17-01. Also, the City Council changed the lay over date to 5-15-01.) Gerry Strathman stated the owners indicated they wanted to sell the building and needed some time to do that. Mr. Strathman agreed to continue tlus matter to June 19, and his recommendafion went to the City Council. The Ciry Council did not accept the recommendation, C.�\-S1� LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINLJTES OF MAY 15, 2001 Page 3 and sent it back to Mr. Strathman for a heazing today. Now, he needs to make another finding to send to the City Council. Marlyn and Robert Weber, owners, 4859 Gershwin Avenue North, Oakdale, appeazed. Mrs. Weber stated two Realtors haue been approached. They have had two mazket analyses; one analysis read that the property has potential. There were two people interested in buying the property. She is asking for additional rime to sell the property. Mr. Strathman stated he will have to recommend approval of the order to remove or repair. That recoxnmendation will go to the City Council on 7une 6, 2001. He suggested the owners attend this City Council meeting, and make their appeal directly to them. Mr. Magner suggested the owners apply for a team inspecfion from the Fire Department so they could get a list of the repair items to be completed to bring the building into compliance. Mr. Magner also suggested that the owners post a$2,000 performance bond to obtain six months to rehabilitate the structure. Mrs. Weber stated one person interested in the properry has been present at some meetings and knows the background of this property. The other buyer has been told they need to post a bond. Mrs. Weber stated they have had one month and that is not enough time to get started with anything. Mr. Strathman responded the City Council may be getting pressure from the neighborhood to do something about this building. That may be why they are unwilling to allow additional time. Mrs. Weber asked is there another City Council meefing after June 6 because they have a comxnitment on that day. Mr. Strathman responded this has to be at a public hearing, and it will have to be June 6. He suggested the owners speak to Councilmember Lanhy to request additional time. Gerry Strathman recommends approval of the resolution. Resolution ordering the owner to remove or repair the building at 923 Marion Street. If the owner fails to compiy with the resolution, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. (Rescheduled from 5-1-01 because the meeting was canceled} Steve Magner reported the building was condemned in February 2000. Eight stumnary abatement notices haue been issued to secure the building against trespass, tall grass, remove refuse, remove snow. On 2-24-01, an inspection of the building was conducted and a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condition was developed and photograpl�s were taken. An order to abate a nuisance building was issued on 2-23-01 with a compliance date of 3-26-01. As of this date, this property remains in a condition which comprises a nuisance as defined by the legislative code. Vacant building fees have been paid. Real Estate tases are unpaid in the aniount of $1,683.73. Estimated market value is $32,200. On 4-30-01, a code compliance � � �� LEGISLATIVE HEARING REPORT OF MAY 15, 2001 .,:_ , inspection was completed. Esrimated cost to repair, $35,000; estimated cost to demolish, $6,500 to $7,500. Stephen Kennedy, owner, appeazed and stated he talked to lus mortgage company to get a short sell with them. He had a buyer, but they were still negotiating.

Laid Over Summary Abatements: SSWR�PAIR1 Sanitary sewer service repair at 1787 Ames Avenue. J0102W Towing of abandoned vehicle from private property at 915 Agate Street. J0102AA Property clean-up at 927 Hudson Road. JOlO1BB Boarding-up of a property at 609 Smith Avenue South. 1787 Ames Avenue (No one appeazed to represent the property.) Gerty Strathman recommends approval of the assessment. 915 A�ate Street Steve Magner reported that he would like the assessment deleted because the owner repurchased and picked up his vehicle. Gerry Strathman recommends deleting the assessment per recommendation of staff. 927 Hudson Road (No one appeared to represent the property.) Gerry Strathman recommends approval of the assessment and granting the owner two years to pay. (Note: The owner appeazed after the meefing commenced to request that he be given 2 years to pay. Mr. Stratbman accepted this request and added it to his recommendation.} 609 Smith Avenue South Shirley Williams, owner, 5423 Williams Avenue, White Beaz Township, appeazed and stated on 12-30-00, her great g�andson set fire to a mattress at 611 Smith Avenue South. The Fire Department put out the fire and knocked a hole in the window of the small bedroom. The Fire Department called someone in to board the window. It took one boazd, maybe six nails, and maybe 20 minutes. C�\-�� LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINUTES OF MAY 15, 2001 Page 2 Steve Magner reported the chazge for an emergency boazding is based on a contractual rate. The City stipulates the specifications. From there, it is open for bids, and the Ciry goes with the lowest bidder. There are two prices: one for daytime scheduled boazdings and the other boarding is for emergencies where the company has to be on site within two hours of receiving the call from the official City department. The emergency rates aze $200 to respond to the scene and $50 per opening. Mr. Magner suggests the owner turn over the assessment costs to her insurance company as part of the loss. Generally, the insurance companies cover this cost because the insured is suppose to limit any more liability or loss that can happen from leaving the building open. Gerry Strathman stated they should break down the cost for the owner. Mr. Magner responded the charge is $200 for the contractor to show up, there was one boazd, and one secure. The inspector did not indicate where the secure location was, but Mr. Magner can assume the contractor secured the structure when he left. A lot of the time, the Fire Department requires the contractor to put a hasp and a padlock on the properry. It is ui�iown if they did that in this case. Ms. Williams responded the house has never been vacated and it is open for the other side to come in. It is a side by side duplex. Gerry Strathman recommends reducing the assessment by $50, which brings the assessment to $255.00 plus the $45.00 administrative fees for a total assessment of $295.00. It is not clear from the record what the charge of the secure is for. File JOISUMA: Laid over summary abatement appeal for 916 Minnehaha Avenue East. (Laid over from 3-20-01) Gerry Strathman recommends laying over to the June 19, 2001, Legislarive Hearing. (The owner appeared for the May 1, 2001, Legislative Hearing because he was not notified that it had been canceled. He requested that his appeal be heard at the June 19, 2001, Legislative Hearing.) File JOISUMAA: Laid over summary abatement appeal for 980 Euclid Street. (Laid over from 4-17-01) Steve Magner stated 3ohn Betz (Code Enforcement) went to the property and found that a11 the cleanup occurred on the properry that was cited. Gerry Strathman recommends approval of the assessment. Resolution ordering the owner to remove or repair the building at 1236 Seventh Street East. If the owner fails to comply with the resolution, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. (Heard on 4-17-01. Also, the City Council changed the lay over date to 5-15-01.) Gerry Strathman stated the owners indicated they wanted to sell the building and needed some time to do that. Mr. Strathman agreed to continue tlus matter to June 19, and his recommendafion went to the City Council. The Ciry Council did not accept the recommendation, C.�\-S1� LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINLJTES OF MAY 15, 2001 Page 3 and sent it back to Mr. Strathman for a heazing today. Now, he needs to make another finding to send to the City Council. Marlyn and Robert Weber, owners, 4859 Gershwin Avenue North, Oakdale, appeazed. Mrs. Weber stated two Realtors haue been approached. They have had two mazket analyses; one analysis read that the property has potential. There were two people interested in buying the property. She is asking for additional rime to sell the property. Mr. Strathman stated he will have to recommend approval of the order to remove or repair. That recoxnmendation will go to the City Council on 7une 6, 2001. He suggested the owners attend this City Council meeting, and make their appeal directly to them. Mr. Magner suggested the owners apply for a team inspecfion from the Fire Department so they could get a list of the repair items to be completed to bring the building into compliance. Mr. Magner also suggested that the owners post a$2,000 performance bond to obtain six months to rehabilitate the structure. Mrs. Weber stated one person interested in the properry has been present at some meetings and knows the background of this property. The other buyer has been told they need to post a bond. Mrs. Weber stated they have had one month and that is not enough time to get started with anything. Mr. Strathman responded the City Council may be getting pressure from the neighborhood to do something about this building. That may be why they are unwilling to allow additional time. Mrs. Weber asked is there another City Council meefing after June 6 because they have a comxnitment on that day. Mr. Strathman responded this has to be at a public hearing, and it will have to be June 6. He suggested the owners speak to Councilmember Lanhy to request additional time. Gerry Strathman recommends approval of the resolution. Resolution ordering the owner to remove or repair the building at 923 Marion Street. If the owner fails to compiy with the resolution, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. (Rescheduled from 5-1-01 because the meeting was canceled} Steve Magner reported the building was condemned in February 2000. Eight stumnary abatement notices haue been issued to secure the building against trespass, tall grass, remove refuse, remove snow. On 2-24-01, an inspection of the building was conducted and a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condition was developed and photograpl�s were taken. An order to abate a nuisance building was issued on 2-23-01 with a compliance date of 3-26-01. As of this date, this property remains in a condition which comprises a nuisance as defined by the legislative code. Vacant building fees have been paid. Real Estate tases are unpaid in the aniount of $1,683.73. Estimated market value is $32,200. On 4-30-01, a code compliance � � �� LEGISLATIVE HEARING REPORT OF MAY 15, 2001 .,:_ , inspection was completed. Esrimated cost to repair, $35,000; estimated cost to demolish, $6,500 to $7,500. Stephen Kennedy, owner, appeazed and stated he talked to lus mortgage company to get a short sell with them. He had a buyer, but they were still negotiating. Mr. Kennedy is trying to get another loan so he can do the repairs. Mr. Strathman asked does he plan to rehabilitate the building. Mr. Kennedy responded yes. Gerry Strathman recommends granting the owner six months to complete rehabilitaxion of the property on condition that a$2,000 bond is posted by noon of June 6, 2001. T'he meeting was adjourned at 10:27 am. rr��
