January 29, 2008 Legisiative Hearing Minutes O � `/��- Page 8
6. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 733 Bradlep Street within fifteen
(15) days from adoption of resolution.
The property owner of record, Windcomber Investments, did not appear. Jason and Josh Burbul
appeared and stated that they owned property adjacent to this building.
Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, four unit (four-plex} flwelling on a lot of 4,792
square feet and had been vacant since July 26, 2006. A code compliance inspecrion had not been
done as of 7anuary 28, 2008, the vacant building registration fees were delinquent in the amount of
�375, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On September 20, 2007, an
inspection of the building was done and a list of deficiencies which canstitute a nuisance condition
was developed. An order to abate a nuisance buiiding was posted on October 15, 2001 with a
compliance date of November 14, 2007. To date, the property remained in a condition which
comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Ta�cation estimated the
market value of Che land to be appmximately $48,&00 and the building to be $271,200. Real estate
taxes were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately
$60,d00 to $70,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $17,900 to
$22,900. There had also been seven summary abatements issued to this property since 2006, nine
of which went to work order: to secure the buiiding and the City had to board the building to secure
it from trespass, remove improperly stored refuse, remove taIl grass and weeds and remove snow
and ice. Code Enforcement recommends the building ba repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr.
Magaer presented photographs o£ the property.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this was a 1415 mulri-
fainily building that was referred to as "the flats." The original owner was an Anderson and the
original permits were for an Anderson. There was some historic detailing; however, there had been
significant aiterations to the building and there were integrity issues with the stairs and steps, and
the decks. From the photos, it appeared that the wood siding was intact and had not been covered,
there were original doors, and there was an originai cornice on the building. This buiiding had not
been surveyed nor desiguated. She stated that there were only a few buildings that had been
identified in the 1483 survey that were within approximately two blocks from ttus property. She
stated that the HPC was cautious on making recommendations to haue buiidings surveyed that were
multi-family. She also stated that they had not received any letter from SHIPO concerning this
property.
Ms. Moermond asked how they becama aware this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner stated the
inspector for the azea found tivs building to be open to entry; broken windows; tall grass and weeds;
and debris all over. Mr. Magner stated that he had been at the property on a boarding and there
were issues with people going into the building to steal the copper piping and taking other items out
of the buiiding.
Tason Burbul stated that they were curious about the process and owned two properties on
Minnehaha that were adjacent to this property. He stated that he wouid like to see this property
repaired as he believed it likely could be rehabbed. He stated that he and Josh did rehabilitation
work and had looked into purchasing this property; however, the bank was asking $140,000 which
he believed was excessive.
January 29, 2008 Legislative Hearing Minutes �� .�(� �' Page 9
Mr. Magner siated that tYris property had on-going probiems for at least the past 10 yeazs. The
previous owner had also owned the property that the Burbuls currently owned and there was a
history of behavioral issues that fell under the nuisance category of the Le�siative Code. The Ciry
had spent a tremendous amount of money in this area and basically had to park a squad car on this
corner. He stated that Code Enforcement was not opposed to seeing the building rehabilitated;
however, it would need to be repaired at a higher level to guarantee long-term occupancy so it
would not continue to be a negative property in the neighborhood.
Ms. Moermond stated that she would recommand granting the time to rehabilitate the property on
the condirion that the following be provided: 1) the vacant buiiding fees must be paid; 2) the vacant
bailding registrarion form would need to be filled out; 3) the code compliance inspection would
need to be done; 4) the $5,000 performance bond must be posted; 5} provide financiai
documentation demonstrating the capacity to make the repairs; 6) a wark plan with timelines must
be completed; 7} a signed purchase agreement; 8) a management plan for the building; and 9) the
property must be maintained. Ms. Moermond recommended laying trus matter over to the February
12 Legislative Hearing.

14. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building{s} at 733 Bradiey Street within fifteen
(15} days from adoption of resolution. {Continued from the 7anuary 29 Legisiative Hearing)
Jason and Joshua Burbui appeared. Jason stated that they were stiil negotiafing to purchase the
property and he anricipated that they couid have a sigaed purchase agreement within the next rivo or
three days.
Mr. Magner stated that he believed the Burbuls were in the business of doing professional
rehabilitarion and were awaze that fhey would need to bring the property up to Code in order to
obtain a certificate of occupancy on the property. What was requested at the previous hearing was
that they would need to present the following: 1) a signed purchase agreement; 2} a work plan; 3}
financial documentation; and 4) a management plan. They would also need to post the performance
bond, pay the vacant building fees, and fill out the vacant building registration form. Mr. Magner
stated that since the Burbuls owned two properties that were adjacent to Yhis building, he believed it
was likely in the City's best interest to have neighboring property owners manage this property
because they will be able to closely monitor all three buildings.
Jason stated that he believed they could have a deai put together on the purchase of the property by
February 20. They were stiil negotiating the sales price of the building and were approximately
$I5,000 apart. The main issue would be to get the paperwork then from the bank and the bank was
moving very siow. He had a sworn construction statement for the property and it was their
intention to put $160,000 into rehabbing the building.
Ms. Moermond asked who they were negotiating with. Jason responded that he was a licensed
realtor and the property was listed on the market by George Farkas, ReMax and the mortgage
company, ECWS, owned the property.
Mr. Magner stated that from his perspective, the Burbuls had successfully rehabilitated two adjacent
properties and they were making a commitment to put $40,000 into each of the four units. If they
were anticipating to purchase the building for $10,000 a unit, or even $50,000 for the building, he
believed they could make this inm a viable structure.
Jason stated fhat he anticipated that they would have a signed purchase agreement, the bond posted,
and the vacant building fees paid by the City Council Pubiic Hearing on February 20. He stated that
they were currently scheduled to close on the building on February 22; however, they likely push
the closing date out to February 29. Once they closed on the property, they would puii permits and
begin the rehab to the property. He believed that they could have the rehab completed within two t�
three mouths.
Ms. Moermond stated that she would xecommend continuing the City Cauncil Public Hearing to
Mazch 5 in order for the Burbuls to put together a wark pian and other documentation if they had �
signed puTChase agreement on the property. She stated thaC if they could not reach an agreement,
she will recommend to the City Councii on February 20 that the buiiding be removed. She
requested that they let her know their decision by the close of business on Tuesday, February 19.
