6. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 472 Minnehaha Avenue East within
fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolurion.
Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, duplex with a wood shed on a lot of
5,227 square feet and had been vacant since July 27, 2005. A code compliance inspection had been
done on August 30, 2005. The vacant building registration fees were delinquent in the amount of
$250 and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. . On May 9, 2007, an inspection of the
building was done and a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condition was developed. An
order to abate a nuisance building was posted on May 21, 2007 with a compliance date of June 20,
2007. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the
Legislative Code. Ramsey County Taxation estimated the mazket value of the land to be
approximately $40,000 and the building to be $125,000. Real estate tases were current. Code
Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $60,000 to $70,000. The
cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $8,000 to $10,000. There had also been 11
summary abatements issued to this property eight of which went to work order: remove improperly
stored refuse, remove tall grass and weeds and remove snow and ice. Code Enforcement recommends
the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented photographs of the
property.
Ms. Moermond asked how they became awaze this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner stated that the
building was condemned on July 25, 2005 with an immediate vacate. The building was condemned
after a FORCE warrant was served. The condirions that existed were there was open electrical, the
tenants were in the process of moving out and the units had been trashed, there were missing windows
and doors and it was generally a dilapidated structure.
The property owner of record, W achovia Bank, did not appear. No other parties of interest appeared.
Ms. Moermond stated that since the Code Compliance had been done some time ago, she thought
perhaps the previous owner had walked away from the property and the property went into foreclosure.
Mr. Magner stated this was correct.
Ms. Moermond recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no option for repair.

3. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 472 Minnehaha Avenue East withiu
fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution. (Rescheduled from July 31)
Aazon Huston, REO for Integrated Asset Services appeared.
Ms. Moermond stated that this matter was heard on July 31 and asked Mr. Magner to read his report
into the record again.
Mr. Huston stated that he had not received any notice of the hearing which was why he did not attend.
He explained that the properiy went into foreclosure and the bank just recently took possession on
August 2. The bank had attempted to reduce the redemption period, however, there were title
problems which slowed the process. It was the bank's desire to get rid of the property as soon as
possible and he had recommended a listing price of $75,000. The bank gave him a listing agreement
and he believed the bank intended to list the property within the next week. He had called Code
Enforcement inquiring about the performance bond and he was told by an inspector to hold off paying
anything until this hearing.
Mr. Magner read the notification list of legal service that was made for the hearings. He stated that the
new owner, the bank, never recorded the title of the property with Ramsey County. Neither the bank
nor Integrated Assets showed up under Ramsey County Tasation records as a responsible party which
was why now one had been notified. He now had Mr. Huston's contact information for the record and
he would be notified of any future proceedings.
Ms. Moermond stated that the City Council Public Hearing was scheduled for August 15 at which she
would request the matter be laid over to September 5 in order for Mr. Huston to post the $5,000
performance bond, register the property as a vacant building and to pay the vacant building fees. If
this was done by September 5, she would request the Council to continue the matter to the October 3
City Council Public Heazing. Ms. Moermond also recommend laying this matter over in Legislative
Hearing to September 25 so that whomever purchased the property would haue the opportunity to
present a work plan, a financial plan and that they update their contact information with Code
Enforcement. She would also require the new buyer to provide a copy of the signed Purchase
Agreement.
