July 14, 2009 Legislative Hearing Minutes Page 12
11. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 604 Wells Street within fifteen
(15) days from adoption of resolution.
The property owner of recard, Matthew and Kristine Medick, did not appear. No other parties of
interest appeared.
Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-story, wood frame, single-family dwelling with a
detached gazage on a lot of 4,792 square feet and had been vacant since 7un 5, 2008. A code
compliance inspection had not been done on, the vacant building registration fees in the amount of
$1,000 went to assessment on August 21, 2008, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been
posted. On February 17, 2009, 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 March 25, 2009 with a compliance date of Apri124, 2009. 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 $19,400 and the
building to be $66,800. Real estate taaces for the first half of 2009 were delinquent in the amount of
$1,685.14, plus penalty and interest. Code Enforcement estimates tYae 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,Q00. There had also been two summary abatements issued to this property since
2008, five 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 and debris, boarding, and
remove snow and ice. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within
15 days. Ivlr. Magner presented photographs of the property.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in
1885 and was an East Lake-style building, built during the Victorian era. The property had been
inventoried and was located in the Payne Avenue eligible historic district. She recommended this
property be forwarded to the HPC for review and noted that SHPO had returned the form indicating
that a funding source had not been identified on the form.
Ms. Moermond reviewed the notification list and said that Wilford & Geske were listed as the
attorneys, although it was unclear whether this was a foreclosure situation. She said she would
contact someone at Wilford & Geske to see if they would be able to gain access to the building,
although she was not optimistic about being able to do so. She recommended laying this matter
over to the July 28 Legislative Hearing.

3. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 604 Wells Street within fifteen
(15) days from adoprion of resolution. (Laid over from July 14
Ms. Boulwaze asked Ms. Moermond whether she able to make contact to be able get into the
building.
Ms. Moermond responded that she had talked to Christina Weber, Wilford & Geske, to see if there
would be any possible way to gain access to the building to review the historic value of the
property. Ms. Weber indicated to her that she had represented the bank in the foreclosure and they
had since charged off the loan. She said she would make the request; however, she did not believe
her client would have any interest in making an accommodation to get into the building. Ms.
Moermond stated that the only way she believed they would be able to gain access would be
through an administrative search warrant which she did not believe would be successful. She asked
Ms. Boulware whether she had communicated with SHPO regarding the funding source for the
demolition.
Ms. Boulware responded that she was still waiting to heaz back from SHPO; however, even though
the property had been surveyed, she did not believe they would recommend this property be
considered for national historic registration as it was across from the potential Payne Avenue
Historic District. Ms. Moermond noted that Ms. Spong had indicated at the previous hearing that
this was located in the potential historic district which was now not the case.
Mr. Magner stated that the form had been amended to include the funding source as CDBG funding
and was sent back to SHPO. He said the likely source of the funding for this demolition; however,
would likely come from ISP funds due to the fact it was in an ISP area. The detexmination of the
funding source was generally not determined until payment to the contractor.
Ms. Boulware suggested this be referred to the HPC for review and that the next meeting was
scheduled for August 13. She believed the property should be documented given the historic
character of the building and that it had been surveyed.
Ms. Moermond responded that she did not want to hold up the process for review by the HPC. She
recommended the building be removed or repaired within 15 days and that the resolution be
amended to include documenting the property for historic archival purposes prior to demolition.
She suggested to Mr. Magner that he commit the cost of the demolition from ISP funds.
