9. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 610 Winslow Avenue within
fifteen (15) days from adoption ofresolution.
The property owner of record, Federal Home L,oan Mortgage Corp., did not appear. Dan Witucki
appeared and stated that he was interested in purchasing the property and rehabbing it.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Mr. Magner. Mr. Magner stated the building was a one and
one-half story, wood frame, single-family dwelling with a detached metal shed on a lot of 3,92�
square feet and had been vacant since October l, 2007. A code compliance inspection had been
done on September 29, the vacant building registration fees were current, and the $5,000
performance bond had not been posted. On October 8, 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 October 29, 2008 with a compliance date of November 28, 2008.
To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as defined by the
Legislative Code. Ramsey County Taxation estimated the market value of the land to be
approximately $36,500 and the building to be $70,000. 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 $5,700 to $8,700. There had also been three
summary abatements issued to this property since 2007, four of which went to work order: remove
improperly stored refuse and debris, 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 how they became aware this was a vacant building. N1r. Magner responded
that the building was condemned on September 19, 2007. It was found to be secured at the time;
however, there were numerous exterior violations.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in
1885 and was a worker's cottage style building. It was located on a very narrow lot and originally
was built sharing the lot with the house to the south. There was a substantial loss of integrity and
she did not believe demolition would have an adverse effect on the neighborhood.
Mr. Witucki stated that he had a purchase agreement and the closing had been scheduled until it was
discovered that the building was a Category 3 vacant building which prevented the title from being
transferred to him. He said that the initial sale price for the home was $25,000 and after several
counter offers, $3,500 was the agreed upon purchase price. He said that he had received estimates
from contractors on the cost of the repairs to the building which amounted to $10,000.
Ms. Moerxnond stated that she was skeptical on the estimated cost of the repairs since staff had
estimated the cost to be between $50,000 to $60,000. Mr. Wihxcki submitted the bids he had
received for the plumbing, electrical, and said that he planned to hire a general contractor to do the
remainder of the work. He argued against the City's new policy concerning the requirements for
Category 3 vacant buildings.
Ms. Moermond stated that any discussion concerning the City' policy conceming Chapter 33.03(fl
should be a discussion for the City Council. She said she would recommend the building be
removed; however, the following would be required in order to recommend any grant of time to
rehab the building: 1) the property must be maintained; 2) the $5,000 performance bond must be
February 10, 2009 Legislative Hearing Minutes ��a�Q% Page 10
posted; 3) a detailed work plan must be submitted in accordance with the code compliance report;
4) detailed contractor's bids must be submitted; 5) financial documentation indicating the
wherewithal to complete the project; and 6) an affidavit committing the funds to do the rehab.
