Legislative Hearing Officer recommends approval. 3. 962 Burr Street (J0201 V) (Note: this assessment has already been ratified by the City Council) Legislative Hearing Officer recommends delering the assessment if the vehicle was towed from the street. Thits matter will be looked into further. rrn MINUTES OF THE LEGISLATIVE HEARING Tuesday, July 2, 2002 Room 330 Courthouse Gerry Stra thma� Legislative Hearing Officer The meeting was called to order at 10:01 am. �Z �3� ��- STAFF PRESENT: John Betz, Code Enforcement; Dennis Senty, Code Enforcement Laid over summary abatements from June 11, 2002: 1140 Aibemazle Street (J0202A) (No one appeared to represent the property.) Gerry Strathman recommends approval. 814 Aurora Avenue (J0202A) (No one appeazed to represent the properiy.) Gerry Strathman recommends approval. (Note: the owner arrived late; this matter was discussed later in the meeting.) 962 Burr Street (J0202A) Nayfeh Wraidat, owner, appeared and stated that when he came back from Europe, he found out a car had been taken from the street, but the car does not belong to him. He does not know whose car it is. The caz was behind the buiiding at one point. Gerry Strathman stated the paperwork in front of him is about discazded appliances and rubbish. Mr. Wraidat responded the two lots behind the building do not belong to him. He was there when the City came to clean it up. He cleans about 50 feet behind the store. Mr. Strathman asked was his lot ciean. Mr. Wraidat responded he cleans every day. John Betz reported there aze two matters here. One is a vehicle impounded. The owner was out of the country and did not receive notice. The vehicle may have been towed from the street. The police officer wrote that it was already towed when he got there. This matter has already been ratified by the City Council. Mr. Strathman asked is there a way to find out where the vehicle was towed. Mr. Betz responded he probably can track that down. . If it was towed from his property and Mr. Wraidat did not get the notice, stated Mr. Strathman, then the assessment should stand. If it was towed from the street, then it is not the owner's �Z ��3 LEGISLAT'IVE HEARING MINiJTES OF JLTLY 2, 2002 Page 2 responsibility. It does not matter who owns the vehicle; if it was on the owner's property, then it is the owner's responsibility. If the car was on the street, Mr. Strathman stated, he will do what is necessary to get the assessment deleted. The owner should call Mr. Betz in about a week to see where the vehicle was moved from. (At this point, the discussion moved to the clean-up at trus properiy. A videotape was shown.) Mr. Strathman stated he did not see the appliances and vehicle parts that aze listed on the work order. He saw plywood and some other thiugs. It did not look that bad. (The videotape was viewed again.) Gerry Strathman recommends reducing the assessment from $298 to $153 plus the $45 service fee for a total assessment of $198. The assessment is a little higfi for what was picked up. (Regazding the assessment that has already been ratified by the City Council, Mr. Strathman's decision is pending.) Resolution ordering the owner to remove or repair the building at 291 Burgess Street. If the owner fails to comply with the resolution, Code Enforcement is ordered to remove the building. (No one appeared to represent the property. Aennis Senty submitted photographs.) Dennis Senty reported the building has been vacant since October l, 2001. The current owner is Scott N. Feyen, who is now deceased. There have been five summary abatement notices to remove refuse, secure structures, and cut tall grass. On April 9, 2002, an inspection of the building was conducted, a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condition was developed, and photographs were taken. An order to vacate a nuisance building was issued on April 18, 2002, with a compliance date of May 20, 20Q2. As of this date, this property remains in a condition which comprises a nuisance as defined by the legislative code. The vacant building fees have been paid. Real Estate taxes are unpaid in the amount of $6,293. Taxation has placed an estimated market value of $3,200 on the building; $15,000 on the land. As of July 2, 2002, a code compliance inspection has not been applied for, and the $2,000 bond has not been posted. Code Enforcement Officers estimaYe the cost to repair is $40,000 to $50,000; estimated cost to demolish, $6,000 to $7,000. Gerry Strathman asked who is Gary Torgerson; he is listed as an interested party. Mr. Senty responded Mr. Torgerson rehabilitates homes. Just prior to his death, Mr. Feyen put all his properties and assets into Mr. Torgerson's name. Code Enforcement has not seen anything filed to the effect that Mr. Torgerson is taking any responsibility for this properiy. He did register this property on behalf of Mr. Feyen when the fees were first paid. Gerry Strathman recommends approval. oz c��� LEGISLATIVE HEARING MINUTES OF JULY 2, 2002 814 Aurora Avenue (J0202A) Page 3 Dorothy Shelby, owner, appeazed and stated this property belonged to her mother, who died in October. (A videotape was shown.) Mr. Strathman stated there were leaues, small appiiances, etc. Ms. Sheiby stated she thought their trash service was picking up the gazbage. She received a notice from the City and called twice because she was not sure what was going on. She never received a return call. She called a�ain. At the time, she was living in Minneapolis. All of a sudden, she went to the property, and the items were gone. Mr. Strathman stated he does not know why she was unable to talk to the inspector. An order was issued on February 25 and another order was issued on Mazch 5. The City did not clean it up until March 22, 2002. There were 17 days between the last notice sent and the City crew doing the work. That should have been enough time to take caze of it. Ms. Shelby responded her mother died suddenly, there were a lot of things pending, and Ms. Shelby had a lot to do. She was planning to do it because she is not the type of person to leave things like this undone. Mr. Strathman stated the basic requirements aze that the owner is notified, the owner is given an opporiunity to make the corrections, and the City does the work if the owner does not. It looks like the owner was notified twice, Ms. Shelby was given the opporiunity to clean it up, she did not do that, and the City did the work. That is the reason she is being charged. Gerry Strathman recommended approval. The meeting was adjoumed at 10:31 a.m. �
