Mr. Wozniak stated that the Board was concerned with the saPety of the elderly tenants. Mr. Segell does not think the building is going to be purchased by the Housing Authority in the neax fliture. Mrs. Leonard stated tha:t none of the tena.nts are in need of a nursipg home. She +�f feels that if they w�ere to mov�e, they vrould be lost. A survey of the � prvperty by the Housing Bureau was ma,de on past req,uest by the Board. Mr. Wozniak feels the main problem is the space heaters. There is no base- J, _ _ ment in the structure xhich could house a f�rnace. Mr. Segell felt that �►all heaters, as a substitute, �ould be unrealistic. If the building w�ere ,'•��-�' condemned, H�A ha,s a responsibility to relocate the tenants. Mrs. Som�erdorf feels. ho�ever. that N'�.�,;, ��nard is prese: ��i� ; _ � _ - dous coarm�znity service and ahould be moved as a unit and not relocatedcon a separate basis. Mr. Segell muat determine whether the building can f�asibly re repaired to code. Mr. Staffenson stated egress space is limited due to location of space heater. Also, non-tc�NTED units can pro- duce carbon monoxide. It wa,s sug�ested that if a fire occurred at the space heater, a m�eans of egress f�om the upper floor would be total]_y blocked. Proper space heaters must vent in exterior air for combustion and vent out air after combustion. Mr, Tieso suggested that Mr. Segell secure estima,tes to establish a cost figure to determine feasibility of repair. ACTIOId To be contiuued on November 22, 1972, at which time Mr. Segell will present estimates concerning heating and electrical. DISCUSSION Mr. Wozniak related to the Board that he had met with Frank Staffenson, 4_ Glenn Ericicson and Ma,yor Cohen and that as a result of that meeting, more clerical help ha.s been secured for the Housing Bureau in order to alleviate the Bureau's clerical manpo�er shortage. The Chairman also stated that when he �rent to observ�e 202 Sherburne, he was surprised at the number of personnel who were inspecting the property, It xas suggested that in many cases, one man could handle an inspection with the availability of a technical backup if necessary. A deznand should be made to the Mayor tha,t the Housing Bureau go to a one-man inspection system. Mr. Wozniak atated that he saw a�re than five men inspecting this home. It was resolved tha,t starting in the month of January, the Board will meet in the Ramsey County Board room on Tuesdays at 1:30. _ � . � , � AMENDMENTS TO MINUTES OF MEETING ��'81 Amendments made upon request of Mr. Frank Staffenson of the City Building Department are as follows: The Building Department would like to go on record as having been requested to perform a total survey of 202 Sherburne. In order to perform a proper survey all men were needed. Regarding American National Bank - The Building Department does not believe that the Board of Appeals can vary a state law. The Build- ing Department, however, has not received an opinion from the State Department of Administration. While no legal opinion has been handed down, Mr. Staffenson feels that the City Board of Appeals has no jurisdiction concerning a state law.
