RE: 594 Selby Ave
During our as6estos / hazardous materials inspection of the property, we had a chance to review the
structural integrity of the building. lt is our opinion that this building is beyond the point of compiete
restora6on for historicaf signficance. It was determined that the exterior of the strucfure is covsred with
transite asbestos siding, which is now covered up by vinyl siding. The entire exterior of the sWcture
would need to be stripped down to the sheaihing and new siding applied. Ali of the exterior windows
had asbestos glazing putry, which would need to be repaired or stabilized if !eft in place. Fiowever, a
majority of the window frames appeared to be rotten, and therefore the replacement of the entire
windows may be required. We noticed that some repairs had already been done to some of the rotten
fascia boards in the past, and no attempt to match the original fascia was done at tfiat time. The roof
may also need to be replaced, we fasnd water damage to some area's in the ceilings upstairs. The
basement foundation of the home appeared to be in fair condition, but we are not structural engineers.
The building has oniy a partial basement, with the remainder having a crawl space with asbestos mixed
deixis scattered throughout ftom past mechanical systems. The heafing syst The on a casta on
hot water boiler system that appears to have not been winterized properiy. 9
system. Th s system u rendy has some P�rozen and spl t p pes to non-�nter'¢ation of the homea� i
As far as we are concemed, the arcFirtecturaf inta9rit)' of this home was destroyed years ago when it
was remode[ed. AI� of the original baseboard, moldings, and kitchen cabinets, were removed or
replaced with a more modem style. The interior plastered ceilings in the home were water damaged
and fialling down, so insiead nf repairing them conectlY, they installed a suspended ceiling grid system
to cover them up. Since none of the wrater damage was repaired at the time, there is a large amount of
mold growth that would need to be repaired. This home wouid need to be smpped completely down to
the framewock, treated for moid issues, and than re-constructed with it�e use of new materials since
there are no original items left remaining in the home to re-use. My only recommendation for this
home, would be s� � S o ro sed new onstruc6on pro ect tlthe d s gn ailows oliGon to use for

12. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 594 Selbv Avenue within fifteen
(15) days from adoption of resolution.
Alan Tschida, attomey and chief manager, appeared on behalf of the property owner, Selby Dale
LLC.
Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, dweiling on a lot of 8,712 squaze feet
and had been vacant since March 14, 2007. A code compliance inspecrion had not been done, the
vacant building rea stration fees were delinquent in the amount of $375, and the $5,000
performance bond had not been posted. On January 4, 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 January 23, 2008 with a compliance date of February 22, 2008. To
date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative
Code. Ramsey County TaYation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately
$140,400 and the building to be $127,600. Real estate tases were current. Code Enforcement
estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $50,000 to $60,000. The cost for
demolition was estimated to be approximately $10,400 to $14,900. There had also been two
summary abatements issued to this property since 2007, two of which went to work arder: to secure
the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, and remove snow and
ice. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired ar removed within 15 days. Mr.
Magner presented photographs of the property.
Mr. Tschida stated that the property was purchased with the intent to demolish the building for
redevelopment. He had bids from a local contractor for removal of the building and was currently
at the stage of obtaining a permit.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building had not
been inventoried, but is located within the National Registry and local Hill District. Upon receipt of
the demolition pernut applicarion, she informed the contractor that the regular process needed to be
pursued. She had given him a list of requirements to include: an HPC application, structural survey,
and estimates for rehab. She had also received a phone call from an architect who had been retained
far the application process who later went out of town preventing any further contact. She also
received another phone call from an architect who had inquired about moving the building out of
state. Ms. Spong stated that she had received a letter from the State Preservation Office dated
March 6, noting that the property is part of the larger district; however, they were more concerned
with new construction. She noted that the letter stated that the HPC had the ability to ask for a more
in-depth evaluation. She had met with the City Attorney's Office and had a draft letter asldng for
postponement of demolition of the building in arder for the applicant to submit the required
application for a demolition permit and allow the HPC to do their review
Mr. Tschida stated that the building is infested with mold and asbestos and the contractor had
provided him with an extensive report on the condition of the building. The report states that
architectural integrity was lost during an earlier remodel; the building would need to be stripped to
the framework and treated for mold issues; there are no original items to reuse; and the exterior
vinyl siding cover is asbestos. He said feels that it could not be reconstructed under any
circumstances.

Ms. Moermond requested a copy of the report from Mr. Tschida's contractor. Mr. Tschida stated
that he is concerned that the process will take too much time and money with a similar end result of
demolition.
Ms. Moermond questioned that amount of time it would take an architect to complete the required
assessments. Mr. Tschida stated they were not interested in adding additional process as the
building is not worth restoration.
Ms. Spong stated they have four findings they need to make when doing a review to include: the
impact on the neighbors and surrounding properties, significance and integrity of site, and future
proposed development. Ali aze required to be looked at when granting a permit for demolition.
Mr. Tschida stated that it seems unnecessary to require what will be proposed in future
development. They realize that the lot is located in a historic preservation district and as such
would require multiple hearings before new construction could begin. What they propose at this
point would be a vacant lot and redevelopment will be determined at a later date.
Mr. Magner stated that the property is severely deteriorated and damaged. If the end result were
demolition he would prefer to not babysit the structure along with the mass quantity of other vacant
buildings in the City. The owner is willing to hire a contractor, the City does not need to pay the
assessment, the situation needs to be resolved, and demolition would allow the owner to maintain a
vacant lot as opposed to a deteriorated building.
Ms. Moermond questioned the HPC's role in removal. She stated that she believed it is standard
practice to review all demolition permits in all historic preservation districts. Ms. Spong stated that
it is required under ordinance, with the exception of an administrative order by the City Council
ordering removal. According to the City Attorneys Office, an order to abate does not take the
HPC's role away in the application process for demolition.
Ms. Moermond stated that it seemed to indicate that the property is a non-conh element
according to 5HIP0 and removal in and of itself is not problematic. Ms. Spong responded that they
are only looking at the national register, not the local historic preservation district.
Ms. Moermond stated that if the HPC deems demolition as inconsequential, she would recommend
demolition following the public hearing. If the HPC did not recommend demolition, the issue
would not be rehabilitation of the structure but surveying and proper documentation before
demolition could occur. She asked what the dollar amount for survey work.
Ms. Spong responded that si�ificance has already been established so they would not be surveying,
but establishing the needed criteria far review. She said that the required documentation would help
determine whether or not demolirion would have a negative impact and if so, they would deny the
permit. The decision could then be appealed to the City Council. The HPC would develop criteria
based on the significance of the property to include photo documentation and architectural
description, drawings and floor plans.
Ms. Moermond stated that she would recommend that the Council order the building removed
within 30 days subject provided Mr. Tschida contracts with a photographer to present archival
photographs of the building to the HPC.
