If the owner fails to comply, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. Steve Magner reported tiris building has bcen vacant since 5-3-96. The current owner is Steven C. Johnson, who has sold it to John W. Nelson. There have been ten summary abatement notices to secure doors and windows, remove rubbish, cut tall grass, remove snow and/or ice. On 4-6- Ol, an inspection of the building was conducted, a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condition was developed, and photographs were taken. As of this date, the property remains in a condition which comprises a nuisance as defined by the legislative code. Vacant building registration fees aze due. Real estate taxes aze unpaid in the amount of $655.20. Estimated mazke# value is $12,500; estimated repairs, $30,000; estimated demolition, $6,Q00 to $7,000. A code inspection has been done. A bond has not been posted. Mr. Magner stated JoHn VJ. Nelson pulled a bond, the matter went to the City Council, and Mr. Nelson was given 180 days to repair or remove the properiy. He failed to complete the work, the bond was forfeited, and given back to the City. Mr. Nelson contacted a lawyer, and the lawyer worked out an agreement to post a new bond. Again, he was given 1 SO days, and that bond was forfeited to the City. In 2000, Code Enforcement requested the owner post a new bond, and that bond was forfeited. Therefore, three bonds totaling $6,000 have been puY against this property and forfeited to the City. There stiil is not compliance with this properiy. Mr. Magner went on to say the owner has installed siding, and worked on three sides of the building. The interior is gutted. There are a few stud walls. The building is faz from rehabilitated. This issue is going on five yeazs now. John VJ. Neison, owner, appeared and staRed he intends to homestead as soon as possible. This huned out to be a bigger issue than he thought. He has been slow rehabilitating the property, and it has cost him deazly_ He has rebonded as ofyesterday. In the last few weeks, he has done a lot. (Mr. Neison showed a photograph that he took yesterday.) Mr. Strathman stated the properry looks better. Mr. Nelson stated the etectrical has been redone. He has worked on the roof. He would like to get the permits, get a certificate of occupancy inspection, and occupy it by the end of July. The taxes were paid last week. Gerry Strathman stated he will recommend the owner be granted six months. If this matter comes back again, Mr. Strathman will recommend approval of the resolution. Mr. Magner stated 0►-��6 LEGISLATIVE HEARING MII�IUTES OF JUNE 5, 2001 Page 2 he would like to see the vacant building fees paid, the bond is posted, and all needed permits pulled by the City Council date. Gerry Strathman recommended the owner be granted six months to complete the rehabilitation of the property on the condition that the following is done by noon of June 27, 2001: post a bond and pay the varant building fees. Resolution ordering the owner to remove or repair the building at 843 Rice Stree� ff the owner fails to comply, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. (Laid over from 3-20-01) Gerry Strathman stated he held a hearing on this before, and would like to lmow where they are with this building. Lori Pagel, representing Xcel Energy, appeared and stated one issue needs to be resolved, and they aze working with the tide company to resolve that issue. Hopefully, that will be done without a major delay. Once they have the title, they aze determined to seli the properry. There are two interested purchasers now. Mr. Strath�van asked when she eapects to have title and when it will be sold. Ms. Pagel responded they have given the tifle company to July 5 to have clear 6tle. Steve Magner reported the property has been secured during the recent inspection. A summary abatement was issued to cut tall grass in the last two weeks. Xcel Energy, formerly NSP, is the holder of the property. They are next door to this properry. Mr. Magner is uncleaz of the item left to do on the title. Also, he wondered if they could sell the building today or start the work on the building before clearing the title. Ms. Pagel stated botii sellers want to rehabilitate the building to make it usefui. Wally Nelson and NEAR (North East Area Revitalization) aze two interested parties. Wally Nelson, Renovation Inc., appeazed and stated he has been negoriating with Xcel Energy for a few months. There is a cash offer on the tabie. The title issue is not really an issue. He would buy it tomorrow and start the rehabilitarion process in a week or two. Ms. Pagel responded Mr. Nelson i�as made offers. The remaining issue is an unsatisfied mortgage of record. If Xcel were to buy #he property, they would deduct that mortgage amount from their price, which is fine. Ms. Pagel plans to go with #he title ins�sance. Mr. Strathman asked if they intend to sell it to someone once they get the Ufle issue resolved. Ms. Pagel responded yes. Mr. Strathman asked wili they take care of the exterior maintenance. Ms. Pagel responded that should have been taken caze of. o�-�� LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINLTTES OF JLTNE 5, 2001 Page 3 Mr. Strathman laid over ttus matter to the July i-817, 2001, Legislative Hearing. Hopefully, the matter will be resolved by then, and the title will be clear. He will not continue the matter beyond that day. Mr. Magner added that at the July -i� 17 hearing, he would like to see the new owner post a bond, have a team inspection completed, and be ready to get the permits to start worldng on the building. Ms. Pagel responded if the matter is not to the point where she can transfer tifle, she does not believe Xcel would rehabilitate it. They would be more likely to demolish it Other people in the City and the area would like the property to be rehabilitated instead of demolished. (Note: this matter was laid over to 7uly 10 at the Legislative Hearing; however, that meeting has been cancelled. This matter has now been laid over to July 17 instead.

If the owner fails to comply, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. Steve Magner reported tiris building has bcen vacant since 5-3-96. The current owner is Steven C. Johnson, who has sold it to John W. Nelson. There have been ten summary abatement notices to secure doors and windows, remove rubbish, cut tall grass, remove snow and/or ice. On 4-6- Ol, an inspection of the building was conducted, a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condition was developed, and photographs were taken. As of this date, the property remains in a condition which comprises a nuisance as defined by the legislative code. Vacant building registration fees aze due. Real estate taxes aze unpaid in the amount of $655.20. Estimated mazke# value is $12,500; estimated repairs, $30,000; estimated demolition, $6,Q00 to $7,000. A code inspection has been done. A bond has not been posted. Mr. Magner stated JoHn VJ. Nelson pulled a bond, the matter went to the City Council, and Mr. Nelson was given 180 days to repair or remove the properiy. He failed to complete the work, the bond was forfeited, and given back to the City. Mr. Nelson contacted a lawyer, and the lawyer worked out an agreement to post a new bond. Again, he was given 1 SO days, and that bond was forfeited to the City. In 2000, Code Enforcement requested the owner post a new bond, and that bond was forfeited. Therefore, three bonds totaling $6,000 have been puY against this property and forfeited to the City. There stiil is not compliance with this properiy. Mr. Magner went on to say the owner has installed siding, and worked on three sides of the building. The interior is gutted. There are a few stud walls. The building is faz from rehabilitated. This issue is going on five yeazs now. John VJ. Neison, owner, appeared and staRed he intends to homestead as soon as possible. This huned out to be a bigger issue than he thought. He has been slow rehabilitating the property, and it has cost him deazly_ He has rebonded as ofyesterday. In the last few weeks, he has done a lot. (Mr. Neison showed a photograph that he took yesterday.) Mr. Strathman stated the properry looks better. Mr. Nelson stated the etectrical has been redone. He has worked on the roof. He would like to get the permits, get a certificate of occupancy inspection, and occupy it by the end of July. The taxes were paid last week. Gerry Strathman stated he will recommend the owner be granted six months. If this matter comes back again, Mr. Strathman will recommend approval of the resolution. Mr. Magner stated 0►-��6 LEGISLATIVE HEARING MII�IUTES OF JUNE 5, 2001 Page 2 he would like to see the vacant building fees paid, the bond is posted, and all needed permits pulled by the City Council date. Gerry Strathman recommended the owner be granted six months to complete the rehabilitation of the property on the condition that the following is done by noon of June 27, 2001: post a bond and pay the varant building fees.

(Laid over from 3-20-01) Gerry Strathman stated he held a hearing on this before, and would like to lmow where they are with this building. Lori Pagel, representing Xcel Energy, appeared and stated one issue needs to be resolved, and they aze working with the tide company to resolve that issue. Hopefully, that will be done without a major delay. Once they have the title, they aze determined to seli the properry. There are two interested purchasers now. Mr. Strath�van asked when she eapects to have title and when it will be sold. Ms. Pagel responded they have given the tifle company to July 5 to have clear 6tle. Steve Magner reported the property has been secured during the recent inspection. A summary abatement was issued to cut tall grass in the last two weeks. Xcel Energy, formerly NSP, is the holder of the property. They are next door to this properry. Mr. Magner is uncleaz of the item left to do on the title. Also, he wondered if they could sell the building today or start the work on the building before clearing the title. Ms. Pagel stated botii sellers want to rehabilitate the building to make it usefui. Wally Nelson and NEAR (North East Area Revitalization) aze two interested parties. Wally Nelson, Renovation Inc., appeazed and stated he has been negoriating with Xcel Energy for a few months. There is a cash offer on the tabie. The title issue is not really an issue. He would buy it tomorrow and start the rehabilitarion process in a week or two. Ms. Pagel responded Mr. Nelson i�as made offers. The remaining issue is an unsatisfied mortgage of record. If Xcel were to buy #he property, they would deduct that mortgage amount from their price, which is fine. Ms. Pagel plans to go with #he title ins�sance. Mr. Strathman asked if they intend to sell it to someone once they get the Ufle issue resolved. Ms. Pagel responded yes. Mr. Strathman asked wili they take care of the exterior maintenance. Ms. Pagel responded that should have been taken caze of. o�-�� LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINLTTES OF JLTNE 5, 2001 Page 3 Mr. Strathman laid over ttus matter to the July i-817, 2001, Legislative Hearing. Hopefully, the matter will be resolved by then, and the title will be clear. He will not continue the matter beyond that day. Mr. Magner added that at the July -i� 17 hearing, he would like to see the new owner post a bond, have a team inspection completed, and be ready to get the permits to start worldng on the building. Ms. Pagel responded if the matter is not to the point where she can transfer tifle, she does not believe Xcel would rehabilitate it. They would be more likely to demolish it Other people in the City and the area would like the property to be rehabilitated instead of demolished. (Note: this matter was laid over to 7uly 10 at the Legislative Hearing; however, that meeting has been cancelled. This matter has now been laid over to July 17 instead.

If the owner fails to comply, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. Steve Magner reported tiris building has bcen vacant since 5-3-96. The current owner is Steven C. Johnson, who has sold it to John W. Nelson. There have been ten summary abatement notices to secure doors and windows, remove rubbish, cut tall grass, remove snow and/or ice. On 4-6- Ol, an inspection of the building was conducted, a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condition was developed, and photographs were taken. As of this date, the property remains in a condition which comprises a nuisance as defined by the legislative code. Vacant building registration fees aze due. Real estate taxes aze unpaid in the amount of $655.20. Estimated mazke# value is $12,500; estimated repairs, $30,000; estimated demolition, $6,Q00 to $7,000. A code inspection has been done. A bond has not been posted. Mr. Magner stated JoHn VJ. Nelson pulled a bond, the matter went to the City Council, and Mr. Nelson was given 180 days to repair or remove the properiy. He failed to complete the work, the bond was forfeited, and given back to the City. Mr. Nelson contacted a lawyer, and the lawyer worked out an agreement to post a new bond. Again, he was given 1 SO days, and that bond was forfeited to the City. In 2000, Code Enforcement requested the owner post a new bond, and that bond was forfeited. Therefore, three bonds totaling $6,000 have been puY against this property and forfeited to the City. There stiil is not compliance with this properiy. Mr. Magner went on to say the owner has installed siding, and worked on three sides of the building. The interior is gutted. There are a few stud walls. The building is faz from rehabilitated. This issue is going on five yeazs now. John VJ. Neison, owner, appeared and staRed he intends to homestead as soon as possible. This huned out to be a bigger issue than he thought. He has been slow rehabilitating the property, and it has cost him deazly_ He has rebonded as ofyesterday. In the last few weeks, he has done a lot. (Mr. Neison showed a photograph that he took yesterday.) Mr. Strathman stated the properry looks better. Mr. Nelson stated the etectrical has been redone. He has worked on the roof. He would like to get the permits, get a certificate of occupancy inspection, and occupy it by the end of July. The taxes were paid last week. Gerry Strathman stated he will recommend the owner be granted six months. If this matter comes back again, Mr. Strathman will recommend approval of the resolution. Mr. Magner stated 0►-��6 LEGISLATIVE HEARING MII�IUTES OF JUNE 5, 2001 Page 2 he would like to see the vacant building fees paid, the bond is posted, and all needed permits pulled by the City Council date. Gerry Strathman recommended the owner be granted six months to complete the rehabilitation of the property on the condition that the following is done by noon of June 27, 2001: post a bond and pay the varant building fees.

(Laid over from 3-20-01) Gerry Strathman stated he held a hearing on this before, and would like to lmow where they are with this building. Lori Pagel, representing Xcel Energy, appeared and stated one issue needs to be resolved, and they aze working with the tide company to resolve that issue. Hopefully, that will be done without a major delay. Once they have the title, they aze determined to seli the properry. There are two interested purchasers now. Mr. Strath�van asked when she eapects to have title and when it will be sold. Ms. Pagel responded they have given the tifle company to July 5 to have clear 6tle. Steve Magner reported the property has been secured during the recent inspection. A summary abatement was issued to cut tall grass in the last two weeks. Xcel Energy, formerly NSP, is the holder of the property. They are next door to this properry. Mr. Magner is uncleaz of the item left to do on the title. Also, he wondered if they could sell the building today or start the work on the building before clearing the title. Ms. Pagel stated botii sellers want to rehabilitate the building to make it usefui. Wally Nelson and NEAR (North East Area Revitalization) aze two interested parties. Wally Nelson, Renovation Inc., appeazed and stated he has been negoriating with Xcel Energy for a few months. There is a cash offer on the tabie. The title issue is not really an issue. He would buy it tomorrow and start the rehabilitarion process in a week or two. Ms. Pagel responded Mr. Nelson i�as made offers. The remaining issue is an unsatisfied mortgage of record. If Xcel were to buy #he property, they would deduct that mortgage amount from their price, which is fine. Ms. Pagel plans to go with #he title ins�sance. Mr. Strathman asked if they intend to sell it to someone once they get the Ufle issue resolved. Ms. Pagel responded yes. Mr. Strathman asked wili they take care of the exterior maintenance. Ms. Pagel responded that should have been taken caze of. o�-�� LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINLTTES OF JLTNE 5, 2001 Page 3 Mr. Strathman laid over ttus matter to the July i-817, 2001, Legislative Hearing. Hopefully, the matter will be resolved by then, and the title will be clear. He will not continue the matter beyond that day. Mr. Magner added that at the July -i� 17 hearing, he would like to see the new owner post a bond, have a team inspection completed, and be ready to get the permits to start worldng on the building. Ms. Pagel responded if the matter is not to the point where she can transfer tifle, she does not believe Xcel would rehabilitate it. They would be more likely to demolish it Other people in the City and the area would like the property to be rehabilitated instead of demolished. (Note: this matter was laid over to 7uly 10 at the Legislative Hearing; however, that meeting has been cancelled. This matter has now been laid over to July 17 instead.
