4. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 765 Edgerton Street within fifteen
{15} days from adoption of resolution.
The property owner of record, LaSalle Bank NA c/o Chase Home Finance, did not appeaz. No
other parties of interest appeazed.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Mr. Magner. Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-
story, wood frame, multi-unit dwelling on a lot of 4,792 square feet and had been vacant since May
4, 2007. A C of O team inspection had been done on December 17, 2007, the vacant building
registration fees were current, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On Apri121,
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 May 30, 2008 with a
compliance date of June 30, 2008. An extension was then granted to August 3, 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 $48,800 and
the building to be $113,200. Real estate taxes were current. Code Enforcement estimates the cost
to repair the building to be approximately $100,000 to $110,000. The cost for demolition was
estimated to be approximately $17,793 to $22,793. There had also been 12 summary abatements
issued to this property since 2007, 11 of which went to work order: to secure the building and the
City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, remove improperly stored refuse, boarding,
and cut tall grass and weeds. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed
within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented photographs of the property.
Ms. Moermond asked how many units were in the building. Mr. Magner responded that the C of O
listed it as five units. Ms. Moermond asked how they became aware this was a vacant building.
Mr. Magner responded that the building was previously owned by Mahmood Hassan and James
Thomas had been called to inspect the building on May 1, 2007 which resulted in the building being
condemned.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in
1901 and was a late Victorian, brick veneer dwelling. She believed it was originally a single-family
dwelling and had been owner occupied. She said that the property had been inventoried; however,
she did not believe there was any potential historic district designation. The porch columns
appeared to be original and the exterior appeared to be intact. She believed that the shed that was
attached to the building may have originally been a root cellar; however, she was unswe. Historic
St. Paul and the HPC had expressed interest in this property and she suggested the HPC review the
property.
Mr. Magner stated that tYie property was zoned RTl which would allow for a duplex. Ms.
Moermond stated that she would recommend the building be de-converted from a 5-plex to a
duplex. She recommended referring this matter to the HPC for a recommendation and laying over
to the March 24 Legislative Hearing and April 15 Council Public Hearing.

5. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 765 Ed�erton Street within fifteen
(15) days from adoption of resolution. (Referred to the F3PC for a recommendation; laid
over from Feb. 24 Legislative Hearing; CPH cont. to April 15)
Timothy Kelley, Leonazd Street and Deinard, appeared on behalf of LaSalle Bank National
Association, the owner, and Chase Automated Realty, the loan servicer.
Mr. Ma�er stated that this property was laid over at Council to obtain input from the HPC. Since
Mr. Kelley was not in attendance at the February 24, 2009 Legislative Hearing, Mr. Magner read
his report into the record again.
Ms. Spong stated that matter was presented to the HPC at their March 12, 2009 meeting. This
building was constructed in 1901 as a late Victorian and was asynunetrical with shingles on the end
gables. There aze three-sided bay windows on both the front and side elevations with triangulated
brick work at the corners. There is an open entrance porch with a central pediment and turned
columns. The original owner was John J. Anderson, a plasterer, who also constructed or owned
other properties in District 5. The building/contractor was listed as G.A. Mattson. At the meeting,
HPC staff cited the seven different criteria that the city had adopted for designation, made findings,
as well as a recommendation. The HPC voted 7 in favor to delay demolition in order for
alternatives to be explored such as mothballing or rehabilitation. They also recommended that a
qualified historian be hired to evaluate both National Register and local eligibility. Ms. Spong
stated that Cheryl Peterson, District 5 Planning Council, was in attendance at this meeting and
testified that this was a prominent house in the neighborhood and she wished to see the building
saved.
Ms. Moerxnond asked Mr. Kelley what his clients' intentions were for this property. Mr. Kelley
responded that he had talked to Cindy Carlson, HRA, regarding potentially donating this property,
as well as other properties, to the HRA. He had received positive responses from Ms. Cazlson who
indicated that if the ta�ces were current and the assessments had been paid, they would be willing to
accept these properties as a donation. He said he was now awaiting the title wark to be completed
on this property, as well as the other properties, before the HRA would make a purchase offer on
this property.
Mr. Magner stated that he believed the title work would come back as a"clean package;" however,
he was unable to speak on what the HRA process was going to be on purchasing this property and
what they planned to do once they had possession of the property. He said that the building was
still considered a nuisance to the neighbarhood not outstanding the over-occupancy of the building
due to zoning for this area. He said that another re-use would need to be considered so that they
would not end up with another "Mahmood Hassan" situation. Mr. Moermond explained the history
the City had with Mahmood Hassan and the 20+ properties he had owned.
Mr. Kelley said that he spoken with Boris Tsvelovat that morning, who said he was a realtor, a
contractor and also worked with investors. Mr. Tsvelovat indicated to him that he had purchased a
property at 759 Edgerton and was interested in this property as well. He said he understood this
was a category 3 vacant building and title could not be transferred under to City Code. Mr.
Tsvelovat said that he had talked to a City staff person (didn't have a name) about his interest in
purchasing and rehabbing 765 Edgerton and the staff person indicated to him that perhaps an
application could be made to the City Council to change the status of the building from a category 3
Mazch 24, 2009 Legislative Hearing Q��� �Jl � Page 8
to a category 2 vacant building. Mr. Kelley stated that his client was also willing to explore this as
an option; however, if the potential buyer did not have a good reputarion with the City, he did not
wish to waste his clients' time exploring this as an option. He also asked whether it would be
possible to change the status of the property from a category 3 to a category 2.
Ms. Moermond responded that she had never experienced the change in category status particularly
given the amount of time the owner had been given to remedy the nuisance when the order to abate
was issued and their failure to maintain the properiy. Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Kelley whether his
firm represented the bank during the foreclosure proceeding. Mr. Kelley responded that his firm
had not.
Mr. Magner stated that the options under Chapter 33.03( fl allows for transfer of title to the HRA,
the owner can rehabilitate the property, the owner can raze the building themselves, or they could
look for an outcome from the City Council.
Mr. Kelley responded that it was his clients' intention to work with the HRA on transferring title of
the property. Ms. Moermond expressed concem with the maintenance of the property and whether
the Bank had a management company looking after the property so that the City was not having to
issue orders and do the work. Mr. Kelley responded that he believed the Bank did have a
maintenance firm that was monitoring and maintaining the property.
Ms. Moermond stated that she would like to continue this matter in order for a survey to be
conducted on the historical significance of this property. She asked Ms. Spong what the
recommendation was from the HPC.
Ms. Spong responded that staff suggested a reconnaissance survey be conducted to determine
historic eligibility for evaluation purposes. Mr. Kelley asked whether the City would require the
property owner to pay for an historical assessment.
Ms. Moermond responded that under Chapter 45, the City has assessed the cost of a survey when
demolition was proposed for any property of historical sigiificance. It was unclear what the cost of
any such survey would be at this point in time. The survey process was also a justification for the
IIRA to acquire the property as opposed to allowing it to languish for his client then to assume the
cost of the removal of the building.
Mr. Kelley stated that he did not believe his client should be responsible for the cost of any
assessment for a survey especially if the transfer of title to the HRA was successful. Ms.
Moermond responded that the fact that the property has historical significance does not belie the
fact that the property is a nuisance. She believed a deeper analysis of the property needed to be
done in order to qualify saving the building as opposed to demolition. She believed the cost
associated with any historical survey work and the responsibility for the cost of the assessment
could be a conversation with the chair of the IIRA.
Mr. Magner explained that in the demolition of one property of historical significance, a
preservation specialist was hired to document the property based on specifications identified in a
resolution to remove the building. An historian was idenrified and Purchasing was consulted to
write a contract which indicated the cost would not exceed $1,000. He was unsure as to the actual
cost as he had not yet received the invoice for the work that was done.

Ms. Moermond recommended continuing the Council Public Hearing to June 3 to negotiate transfer
of the property to the HRA. She also recommended hiring an historian to document the historical
significance of the property and the cost of such work could be assessed to the property, whether
that cost be to LaSalle Bank or the HRA.

2. A more intensive levei survey would be required to determine if the building would be
individually eligible for local designation or be eligible for the National Re2ister.
