Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 464 Blair Avenue within fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution. David Mortensen, attorney with Wilford & Geske, appeared. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Mr. Ma�ner. Mr. Magner stated the building was a one- story, wood frame, single-family dwelling on a lot of 3,049 square feet and had been vacant since August 29, 2007. A code compliance inspection had been done in Apri12008 and had expired; however a new code compliance inspection had been done on October 27, 2009, the vacant building registration fees in the amount of $1,000 went to assessment on October 1, 2009, and the �5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On September 9, 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 December 10, 2009 with a compliance date of January 11, 2010. 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 $16,200 and the building to be $64,700. Real estate taYes for 2009 were delinquent in the amount of $3,741.21, plus penalty and interest. Code Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to exceed $75,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to exceed $10,000. There had also been 11 summary abatements issued to this property since 2007, 10 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/securing, 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 reviewed the photographs and asked when the fire had occurred. Mr. Magner responded that he did not kave the fire report in the file; however, accarding to STAMP, the fire occurred on May 4, 2008. Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in 1895 and was a warker's cottage-style building. There was a loss of integrity and character to the exterior of the building. The block face itself was contiguous; however, there were only four older homes on the block with the remainder being in-fill housing. Although it was located in the potential Frogtown historic district as identified in the 1983 survey, she did not believe this area would still be eligible for current historic designation. She did not believe demolition would have an adverse effect on the neighborhood. Mr. Mortensen stated his firm had been retained by Green Point Mortgage c!o Countrywide for the foreclosure proceedings which occurred in September 2007. Green Point Mortgage does not exist anymore and he had been attempting to find who the owner was of this property. He believed Capital One now owns the property; however, he had been unable to verify their ownership. He believed they would have an interest in this property and would need time to see what they may want to do with it. He also believed they may not have been notified of these proceedings. Ms. Moermond countered that they would have been informed of these proceedings had they bothered to register title of the property with Ramsey County Taxation. They certainly had not found it in their interest to pay the property taxes ar to maintain the property in any way. In looking at the photographs, she didn't see anything to compel her to recommend granting additional time for the owner to make a decision on what to do with the property. 10-230 February 9, 2010 Legislative Hearing Minutes Page 4 Ms. Moermond laid the matter over to February 23 with the following conditions to be met: 1) the $5,000 performance bond must be posted; 2) the delinquent property taaces must be paid; 3) a work plan must be submitted; and 4) the property must be maintained. Ms. Moermond requested a copy of the fire report be obtained for review.

Edina Realtor, BRUCE JAMES MCALPIN, 9240 State Highway 25, Monticello, Minnesota, 55362, 612-669-6324, DOB 12/O1/1964. BACKGROIJND: I received notification of the fire via the Communications Center. I responded to the incident scene to begin my fire investigation and arrived on the scene at approximately 1027 hours.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION• The structure is a two story, wood framed, single family dwelling containing a basement. The exterior contained wood siding and the interior wa11s contained lath and plaster. The dwelling measured approximately 15 feet by 46 feet and ran north to south in length. T"here was a three-season porch attached to the front of the structure that measured approximately six feet by 15 feet in dimension. The porch was situated approximately three feet off the �ound. The front of the home faces north. EXTERIOR EXAMINATION: Visual inspection of the exterior noted several first floor windows were boarded up. There were windows on all sides of the home that had holes through their window panes. On the exterior of the northwest corner of the porch the outside support joist was heavily charred. This area was, from the north end, south, approximately five feet. There were no ignition sources found in the azea of origin. 10-230 Fire Investigation Report 464 Blair Avenue Page Two f c In the rear of the home was the kitchen. Heavy charring was noted to the southwest window frame in the kitchen. The window opening was boarded up. The realtor for the dwelling stated this damage had occurred before he became the realtor approximately two months ago. Rocks were noted on the floor in front of many of the broken windows. There was no other smoke or fire damage noted to the interior of the structure. The windows that had been boarded-up earlier by the boazd up company were dated April 2, 2008. INTERVIEWS: Edina Realtor, BRUCE JAMES MCALPIN, stated: • His company has had the property for approximately three months. • The last time he was at the property was approximatety two weeks ago. • There were some broken windows but they were boarded-up. • The windows broken now must have been broken in the last two weeks. • The charred window in the kitchen was done before his company took over the property. • He has two contractors coming over later today to bid on refurbishing the house.
