January 8, 2008 Legislative Hearing Minutes �� � � �/ Page 3
3. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 470 Lawson Avenue West within
fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution.
Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, single-family dwelling with a
detached one and one-half stall gazage on a lot of 3,485 square feet and had been vacant since
September 15, 2006. A code compliance inspection had been done on December 24, 2007. The
vacant building registration fees were paid and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted.
On September 25, 2007, an inspection of the building was done and a list of deficiencies which
consritute a nuisance condition was developed. An order to abate a nuisance buildittg was posted on
October 15, 2007 with a compliance date of November 14, 2007. To date, the property remained in
a condifion which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey Counry
Taxation estimated the markeY value of the land to be approximately $41,100 and the building to be
$88,100. Real estate taaces are current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building
to be approximately $50,000 to $60,000. The cost far demolition was estimated to be
approximately $7,570 to $10,570. There had also been five sumuzary abatements issued to this
property since 2006, four of which went to work arder: to secure the building and the City had to
board the building to secure it from trespass, remove tall grass and weeds and remove refuse. Code
Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner
presented photographs of the property.
The property owner of record, MERS, did not appear. No other parties of interest appeared.
Ms. Moermond asked how they became aware this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner stated the
inspector found numerous Code violations and condemned the property. He had been contacted by
Mike Olson, realtor, who had ordered the code compliance inspection and had indicated that he had
interest in the property; however, he was not in attendance at this hearing.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was an
1894 simple cottage and had not been inventoried. She did not believe it warranted further
investigation as a historic site.
Ms. Moermond recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no option for repair.
