8. Qrdering the owner to remove or repair the building(s} at 91 I Johnson Pkwv witrun fi�een
_
(15) days from ad�SionAf�esad�t3o�r.-
Ryan Krumrie, attorney with Shapiro, Nordmeyer & Zielke, appeared on behalf of the property
owner MERS c/o Homecoming Financial LLC (f/k/a GMAC). Bill Bergson, the listing agent for the
property, also appeared.
Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, duplex with a detached two-stall
garage on a lot of 7,840 square feet and had been vacant since December 31, 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 August 20, 2008,
an inspection of the building was done and a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance
condition was developed. An arder to abate a nuisance building was posted on September 3, 2008
with a compliance date of October 3, 2008. To date, the property remained in a condition which
comprised a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Taxation esrimated the
market value of the land to be approximately $47,500 and the building to be $99,900. Real estate
taxes were current. Code Enforcement esfimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately
$40,000 to $60,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $9,100 to $12,100.
There had also been eight siunmary abatemetits issued to this property since 2007, five of which
went to work order: to secure the building and the City had to hoard the building to secure it from
trespass, remove improperly stored refuse and miscellaneous debris, boarding, and remove snow
and ice. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr.
Magner presented photographs of the property.
Ms. Moermond asked far a report fram Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in
1886 and was a Victorian style-building. The house was located on a comer 1ot and enhanqed the
entrance to the neighbarhood. She noted that the bay window and the trim were still intact.
Although the property was not located in any potential historic district, she strongly encouraged
rehab.
Mr. Krumrie stated that they had gone to court to shorten the redemption period and the bank took
possession of the property in September. The property was currently being marketed for sale and
the purchase price had been lowered to attract a buyer.
Mr. Bergeson stated that he had applied for the code compliance inspection; however, it apparently
got lost on a clerk's desk so they had re-applied for the inspection on December 8. He presented a
purchase agreement but the offer was dependent upon the outcome of this hearing.
Mr. Magner explained that the change to the ordinance, Chapter 33.03(fl, for Category III vacant
bnildings required the current owner to rehab the property to code compliance before the property
could be sold ar the title could t�e transferred. He said that the City Council was the only authority
who had the aUility to grant a waiver of time to complete the rehab of a properiy. There was some
question as to when the ordinance went into effect and what the actual date of enforcement was.
Mr. Krumrie requested additional time to be able to sort this out through the legal process.
December 9, 2008 Legislative Hearing Minutes b f�.((�' Page 9
Ms. Moermond recommended continuing this matter to the January 27 Legislative Hearing a�
