Octobe'r 28, 2008 Legislative Hearing Minutes
(��.-�a$Yj Page 5
Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 558 Grotto 5treet North within
fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution.
The property owner of record, US Bank, N.A., did not appear. No other parties of interest
appeared.
Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, single-family dwelling on a lot of
4,792 square feet and had been vacant since September 27, 2007. A code compliance inspection
had not been done, the vacant building registration fees were delinquent in the amount of $1,000,
and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On July 1, 2008, 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 July 18, 2008 with a compliance date of
August 18, 2008. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as
defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Tasation estimated the market value of the land
to be approximately $30,600 and the building to be $16,200. Real estate taxes were current. Code
Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $100,000 to $125,000.
The cost for demolifion was estimated to be approximately $9,400 to $12,400. There had also been
five summary abatements issued to this property since 2007, five of which went to wark order: to
secure the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, remove refuse
and miscellaneous debris, and cut tall grass and weeds. Code Enforcement recommends the
building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented photographs of the
property.
Ms. Moermond stated that it appeared from the photographs, that there had been a fire at the
property and wanted to know when it had occurred. Mr. Magner responded that he would need to
check the records with the Fire Department.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in
1889 and was a worker's cottage-style building. There was a significant loss of integrity as the
siding had been covered and the front porch had been removed. It was located outside the potential
Frogtown historic district and she believed demolition would have no adverse effect on the
neighborhood.
Ms. Moermond requested Mai send all of the records on this property to John Choi and Mark
Ireland in order for them to have a discussion with US Bank conceming this property. She
recommended the building be removed within 15 days with no option for repair.
