Deaz Mr. Wakefield:
On July 27, 2005 the Saint Paul City Council adopted Council File # OS-698 staying enforcement for a period
of 90 days of Council File # OS-16, an Order to Remove or Repair 1774 Norfolk. The Council is referring
this matter back to legislative heazing to give you, the new owner, an opportunity to make a case for not
continuing with the previously ordered demolition of this structure. If you intend to rehabilitate the structure,
I typically look for the following:
1) Code Compliance Inspection Report from the City Office of License, Inspections and Environmental
Protection;
2) A$2,000 performance bond to be posted with the City Office of License, Inspections and
Environmental Protection, returnable if the project is completed within 180 days;
3) A work plan for the rehabilitation of the shucture which addresses the issues outlined in the Code
Compliance Inspection Report;
4) A fmancial plan which indicates the where-with-all to complete the rehabilitation; and
5) Payment of outstanding tases, settlement of outstanding citations; and payment of vacant fees.
If you plan to proceed with demolition on your own, I will be ]ooking for the following:
1) A signed contract with a qualified demolition contractor and a valid demolition permit.
2) A timeline for the shuchue's demolition.
Finally, if you do not plan on holding the properiy, I will be looking for a signed purchase agreement with an
individual, organization or business which will bring to the legislative heazing their plans for either the
rehabilitation or demolition of the structure, as outlined above.
The Legislative Hearing is scheduled for January 3, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. in Room 330 of the Saint Paul City
HaIl/Ramsey County Courthouse Building. The recommendation coming out of the legislative heazing
process will be considered by the Council at its January 18, 2006 public heazings at 530 p.m. This letter
serves as legal notice these hearings. Please contact my secretary, Racquel I�aylor, at 651-26-8573 if you
need additional information.
Sincerely,
/1���
