Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 1342 York Avenue within fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution. The property owner of record, J& A Properties Group, LLP, did not appear. No other parties of interest appeared. Mr. Magner stated the building was a two and one-half story, wood frame, single-family dwelling on a lot of 14,374 square feet and had been vacant since October 21, 2005. A code compliance inspection had been done on January 9, 2007, the vacant building registration fees were current, 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 order to abate a nuisance building was posted on September 2, 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 Tasation estimated the market value of the land to be approximately $113,400 and the building to be $47,300. Real estate taxes for 2006 through 2008 were delinquent in the amount of $2,064.16, plus penalty and interest. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $50,000 to $70,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $10,900 to $14,900. There had also been seven summary abatements issued to this property since 2005, two of which went to work order: cut tall grass and weeds 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 for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in 1889 and was a Victorian style-building. She believed it was originally built as a duplex, that the exterior integrity was good with the original stoop, original spindle work, and original side porch. This property had been inventoried and listed the architect and owner as C. W. Jones. She believed this property was a potential historic resource to the neighborhood and recommended forwarding it to the HPC for review. Ms. Moermond recommended this property be forwarded to the HPC for a recommendation; laid over to December 23 Legislative Hearing. December 23, 2008 Legislative Hearing Minutes vq' �� Page 11 10. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 1342 York Avenue within fifteen (15) days from adoption ofresolution. (Continued from Dec. 9 for a report from the HPC) Ms. Spong presented a letter from Christine Boulware, HPC, noting that the HPC met on December 18, 2008 and recommended 7 to 0 to hire a qualified historian to evaluate this property. Said letter is attached and made a part of this record. Ms. Moermond stated that she would need to consult with the City Attomey's Office to deternune whether the cost of hiring a historian to evaluate or document this property could be assessed against the property. The resolution will need to be modified to include language to document the historic value of the property and the funding source to pay for said evaluation/documentation.
