Mr. Huynh stated that he had closed on the purchase of the property on February 12, 2008 and planned to rehab the building. Mr. Ma�er stated the building was a one story, split level, wood frame, single-fanuly dwelling with a detached two stall gazage on a lot of 5,227 square feet and had been vacant since April 17, 2006. He stated that many of the houses along Concord from Highway 52 to State Street were removed in the eazly 1960s and similar housing such as this house was built. A code compliance inspection had been done on Mazch 26, 2006; however, he did not haue a copy of the report. The vacant building registration fees were current and the $5,000 performance bond was posted on February 19, 2008. On October 16, 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 November 6, 2007 with a compliance date of December 6, 2007. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Taacation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately $39,700 and the building to be $116,600. Real estate tases were current. Code Enfarcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $45,000 to $60,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $8,500 to $11,500. There had also been six snmmary abatements issued to this property since 2006, one of which went to work order: to secure the building and the City had to boazd the building to secure it from trespass, and to cut tali grass and weeds. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired ar removed within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented photographs of the property. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that the original permit for this property indicated that in 1887, this was a one-story store and the architect was listed as Matt Lighthouser. From the records, it appeared that this single-family dwelling was built in 1979. Ms. Moermond asked how they became aware this was a vacant building. Mr. Magner stated that there was an arson fire at the property. Ms. Moermond stated that if the fire damage was sigrificant, she would require a new code compliance inspection be done in order for the arson damage to be taken into account. Mr. Crreger stated that it was his information that a bottle rocket was thrown at the building which landed on the deck and damaged the deck. There was no interior damage to the building. Mr. Huynh presented pictures of the exteriar of the house and a copy of his work plan. He explained his plans to rehab the building. Ms. Moermond stated that in reviewing the wark plan, he had listed the cost of the repairs to be $8,000 and the City estimated the cost of the repairs to be between $45,000 to $60,000. She requested he present the contractors' bids and to revise his work plan which would address a11 of the items on the code compliance insp�ction report. Mr. Greger stated that the reason the numbers were so low was because Mr. Huynh planned to do a lot of the work himself and most of the wark was cosmetic. Ms. Moermond stated that the example of the work plan included an area for what supplies and what labor the owner was providing. She es-z�s February 26, 2008 Legislative Hearing Minutes asked that this be filled out in its entirety.

Ae stated that this property was a gateway to tlus corridor and did not reflect the chazacter of the neighborhood and was not an asset to the neighborhood in its current condition.
