Room 330 Ciry Hall, 15 Kellogg Blvd. West
Marcia Moermond, Legislative Hearing dfficer
The hearing was cailed to order at 10:05 a.m.
STAFF PRESENT: John Betz, Neighborhood Housing and Property Improvement (NFII'I), and
Steve Magner, NHPI,
Past Summary Abatement Appeals:
962 Bavard Avenue (J0612A)
Ms. Moermond stated the properiy owner had appeared at the public hearing on November 1 and
had not attended the Legislarive Hearing on October 17. The matter was refened back for a
Legislative Hearing with a pubiic hearing date of November 25.
Mr. Betz stated the property was inspected due to notification from the Fire Department that
tUere had been a 6re at this properiy. The property was inspected and orders were issued on
August 8, 2006 to remove discarded furniture and fire debris and to cut tall grass and weeds with
a compliance date of August 14, 2006. The properiy was re-inspected on August 15, 2006 and
the work had not been done. A work order was sent to the Parks Department wha did the work
on August 17, 2006. According to the file, the property owner had cut the tall grass and weeds.
He presented a video showing the removal of the discarded couches as well as lumber and other
debris from the fire to the garage.
Victoria Dahl, property owner, stated she had received the order to clean up the property as well
as the notice for the hearings on the assessment however she had not opened them as she
assumed it was correspondence from her son's school. She explained that the fire to her garage
was the result_ of azson which happened on July 28, 2006. She had contacted her insurance
company and the adjuster inspected the garage on July 30. He instructed her to wait to do
anything unril she heard back from them however, they failed to contact her. The couch had
been put out by the garage prior to the fire as her nephew had planned to take it. When the fire
occun•ed, she was in the process of planning a move to Arizona and had placed all of her
belongings she was going to take in the garage. Everything was destroyed and now she could
not afford ro move. She did not believe she should be responsible for the assessment.
Ms. Moerniond stated that proper legal notification had been sent to the property owner and she
had failed to open the notices. Therefore, she recommended reducing the assessment from a
total of $386 to a total of $300 and spread the payments over five (5) years.
