fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution.
The property owner oF record, Federal National Mortgage Assn, did not appear. No other parties of
interest appeazed.
Mt Magner stated the building was a two-story, brick, duplex with a detached garage on a lot of
4,792 square feet and had been vacant since November 20, 2007. A code compliance inspection
had been done on February 17, 2009, the vacant building registration fees were cunent, and the
$5,000 perfoxmance bond had not been posted. On Februazy 10, 2004, an inspection of the building
was done and a list of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condition was developed. An order
to abate a nuasance building was posted on March 12, 2009 with a compliance date of April 13,
2009. 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 $20,000 and the building to be $159,200. Real estate ta�ces were current. Code
Bnforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to be approximately $70,000 to $80,000. The
cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately $10,000 to $12,000, There had also been
two summary abatements issued to this property since 2007, four of which went to work order: to
secure the building and the City had to board the building to secure it from tresgass, remove
improperly stored refuse and debris, and boarding. Code Enforcement recommends the building be
repaired or removed within 15 days. Mr. Ma�er presented photographs of the property.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in
1910 and was considered a"flats" style building. She said it originally had a flat roof; however, a
gable had been added at some point in time. The exterior was painted brick as opposed to brick
veneer, which added value to the building. The building had been inventoried and was a potential
historic resource as it was located west of the Oakland Cemetery. She requested the property be
referred to the HPC for review and a recommendation.
Ms. Moermond recommended laying this matter over to the July 28 Legislative Hearing and the
August 19 Council Public Hearing in order for the HPC to review and make a recommendation
concerning the property. Ms. Moermond requested Ms. Vang obtain an updated Owners and
Encumbrance Report.

FILE NAME: 113-115 Winnipeg Avenue
OWNER: Federal National Mortgage Association
MEETING DATE: 7uly 9, 2409 laid over to 3ulv 23. 2009
CLASSIFICATION: Historic Resource Review
STAFF INVESTIGATION AND REPORT: Christine Boulware
DATE: July 1, 2009
A. SITE DESCRIPTION: The two-story, brick duplex at 113-115 Winnipeg Avenue was
constructed in 1910. The building permit index card lists J.E. Sundberg as the contractor and the
inventory form lists 106 Manito Co. as the azchitecUengineer. Significant details of the property
include the elaborate brick cornice with corbelled bands and brick dentil course along with concrete
or stone sills and lintels. There was a door on the second story which has been covered up since the
inventory from was completed in 1982. The 1903 Sanborn Map shows there was an open, two-story
porch at the front of the property at one time. The brick has been painted and the front elevation has
been stuccoed. A shallow-pitched front gabled roof now spans the length of tl�e once flat-roof
building. There is a shallow two-story bay on the east elevation that has temporary anchoring to
contain buckling just underneath the eaues (probably due to the instailation of the gabled roof and
water infiltration).
B. PROPOSED CHANGES: During the Legislative Hearing on June 23, the Legislative hearing
officer recommended the HPC consider this properiy for review as a historic resource. A historic
resource is defined as "A property that is believed to have historical, cultural, architectural,
archaeological or engineering significance and to meet at least one ofthe criteria for designation as a
heritage preservation site or district as provided in this chapter."

D. FINDING5
������
1. The properiy was surveyed and identified during the 1983 Historic Sites Survey of Ramsey
County (RA-SPG5120). T'he survey identified 37 sites in District 6 as eligible for designation or
as sites of major significance. Properties like 113 Winnipeg Avenue are integral to the historic
context of the neighborhoods. No images were found in a search of the MN Visual Resource
database.
2. A more intensive level survey would be required to determine if the building would be
individually eligible for local designation or be eligible £or the National Register.
3. It is always better to retain historic fabrlc type buildings than it is to demolish and create a hole in
the neighborhood. This particulaz block face has a variety of housing styles; most constructed
prior 1883 when building permit records began in the city and up until 1917. This duplex is a
unique structure for this block and neighborhood, as the other residences have gabled or hipped
roofs.
4. The integrity, or authenticaty as evidenced by a site's location, design, setting, workmanship or
association, is fair because the alterations that haue occurred, such as stucco on the front
elevation, deferred maintenance and the construction of a gabled roof over the flat roof. There
are still design features intact on this properiy like the cornice and the Flemish Bond brick
pattern evident under the paint. The site's location and setting would be considered to have good
integrity.
