brick at the cornice line, eniry and windows. Projecting bays or oriels at the upper story wexe
common unril about 1910. L� addirion to brick, stucco, and rusticated conerete block were
employed for thc exterior finish.
The design of the `ATtisfic Front Store° popuiar in the 1926s and thsough the 1940s was usually
based on mttage, 5panish, Tudor, Art Dem, or Modeme motifs. Rusricated stucco and bxick
sutfaces, �ables trimmed with hali-timbering all gave a domestic look to the exterior, more
closely related to surrounding houses. Ylany gas stafions were design.eci as small English cottages
oz Sparush adobes in this period. The pictusesque one-stary, btick and st�ne shop at 1795 St. Clair
is among the best examples of the Arrisfic Front, wtule a number of period xevival gas stations
including that at 300 Snelling Avenue (ca. 1432) also remain.
The °Modem Braad fronY' was well suited to new xetailing principles wMch called for open
dispiay of ineschandise. A dauble-uidth storefront, the Bioadfront inwrparated steel beams and
mlumns to proride a very open fa�ade. The fa�ade was primarity fffled with a large display
window. Patented storefront materials were often applied to the #a�ade. "

March 9, 2010 Legislative Hearing Minutes Page 2
1. Orderin� the owner to remove or repair the building{s} at 781-783 Universitv Avenue West
within fifteen (15) days from adoption ofresolution.
Robert Schilling, properiy owner, appeared. No other parties of interest appeared. Ms. Moermond
noted that accordin� to Ramsey County Tasation, Mr. Schilling was listed as the taxpayer and C of
O responsible party. The owner was listed as Young Sun Park. Mr. Schilling responded that he had
misplaced the deed transferring title from Mr. Park to himself which was why the deed was not
recorded.
Ms, Moermond asked for a report from Mr. Magner. Mr. Magner stated the building was a two-
story, wood frame, commercial building on a lot of 4,792 square feet and had been vacant since
August 14, 2002. A Team Inspection had been done on March 26, 2004 and had since expired, the
vacant building registration fees in the amount of $1,000 went to assessment on November 2, 2009,
and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On December 1, 2009, an inspection of the
building was done and a list of deficiencies which consritute a nuisance condition was developed.
An order to abate a nuisance building was posted on January 12, 2010 with a compliance date of
February 10, 2010. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a uuisance as
defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Taxation estlmated the market value of the land
to be approximately $146,400 and the building to be $89,500. Real estate taxes for 2009 were
delinquent in the amount of $6,221, plus penalty and interest. Code Enforcement estimates the cost
to repair the building to $150,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately
$40,000. There had also been two summary abatements issued to this property since 2002, none of
which went to wark order. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed
within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented photographs of the property. A copy of the photographs was
also provided to Mr. Schilling,
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in
1911 and was unique being a wood-frame starefrout with a full masonry structure at the rear of the
building. The property was inventoried in 1983 and was included as part of the neighborhood
context study in 2001, a copy of which is attached and made a part of this record. The building had
6een built by a plumber who had his store on the first floor and lived in the upstairs flat. She
believed the plumbing business could account far the full masonry structure at the rear of the
buiiding. Given the significant alterarions to the exterior of the building she did not believe it
would meet local or national historic designation criteria. Ms. Spong noted that 785 University
Avenue was scheduled for hearing on March 23 and was located next door to this building.
Ms. Moermond reviewed the photographs and exclaimed that it appeared there had been a fire. Mr.
Schilling responded that he had contacted the Fire Department who had no record of any fire at the
property. He said what was shown in the photo was a twisted I-beam which was likely caused by
previous tenants who used welding equipment He said there was a shed that was attached to a shed
which was attached to the buiiding (or a garage that was attached to a garage attached to the
building) and there was no structural daniage to the building. He said he was rehabbing a duplex at
392 Edmund and ran into problems with the contractors who he had hired to do the work as they did
not do quality work and took off with his money without finishing the job. This put him
substantially behind as he ran out of money, forfeited the perfarmance bond, and almost lost his
home to foreclosure. He said he was considering filing bankruptcy and instead took out another
mortgage to finance the remainder of the repairs. He said the building had a cuttent C of O, was
occupied, and was pristine. He said he didn't do anything with his commercaal properties as he felt
Pat Fish was on a"witch hunP' on violations at his property and had condemned the building due to
10-367
March 9, 2410 Legislative Hearing Minutes Page 3
the fact that he had left a water heater out to be picked up for recycling . He felt that city officials
had a political agenda against him, were in collusion, and that he was being harassed. He also said
he sold used appliances to landlords, some of whom are actively suing the city for various reasons.
He said he would like to "re-set the clock" so that he could fix up the property which he could do
within six months, get the building certified and sell the property to Model Cities urho expressed
interest in purchasing it.
Ms. Moermond asked him where he operated his used appliance business. Mr. Schilling responded
that he operated his business from 785 University. Ms. Moermond asked whether he owned this
property as well. Mr. Schilling responded that he did own this property as well. Ms. Moermond
stated that according to Ramsey County Taxation, he was not listed as an owner of the property.
Mr. Schilling responded fhat his brother, Gerald Schilling, was tisted as the tax owner who had
purchased the property from Roger Griffiths on a Contract for Deed. He was going to go into real
estate business with his brother; however, there was bad blood between them and they had a falling
out. The matter went to court and the court awarded the property to him He said he didn't know
where the deed was for this property either which is why it had not been registered with the county.
Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Schilling whether he used 785 for his business. Mr. Schilling responded
that the water and heat were on in the building and he used it to clean appliances and had a second
hand dealers' license to operate a business. Ms. Moermond responded that she didn't believe he
could operate a licensed business in a registered vacant building and Mr. Schilling respottded that
he knew he wasn't supposed to be using it as a business. He said he also had warehouse space at
1400 SelUy which was his primary place of business.
Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Schilling why he had not taken any acrion on this building since it had
become a vacant building in 2004. Mr. Schilling responded that he had done work on the building
and the only thing left was to have a plumber finish the bathroom and to put down new flooring. He
also acknowledged that there were some windows which needed to be replaced.
Ms. Moermond asked why he had had not applied for a new team inspection as was indicated in the
Order to Abate letter. Mr. Schilliiig responded that he didn't want to have to post the bond to pull
the permits and didn't know he had to have another inspection. Ms. Moermond read the specific
language contained in the OTA. She told Mr. Schilling that this seemed to be endemic with this
property: the deed to the property was missing, he hadn't paid his property taxes, and she asked
whether he had done a confession of judgment with the county to pay the outstanding property
tases. Mr. Schilling responded that he didn't have the money to pay on the taYes as he almost had
to file bankruptcy and had not worked out a repayment plan with the county. He was now w�orking
on getting his finances in place_ Ms. Moermond stated that given this demonstration, there was no
guarantee that he would be able to correcY the nuisance conditions at this property or any of his
other properties.
Ms. Moermond continued the hearing to March 23 with the following conditions to be met: 1) must
apply for a Team Tnspection; 2) must register the Deed to the property with Ramsey County; 3)
must pay the delinquent property taaces; 4) post the $5,000 performance bond; 5) submit a work
plan; 6) provide financial documentation indicating financing in the amount of $150,000; 7) submit
contractor bids or a swom construction statement; and 8) the property must be maintained.

1. Ordering the oumer to remove or repair the building(s) at 781-783 University Avenue West
within fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution. (Continued from March 9)
Andrew Dawkins, attomey with Mansfield Tanick & Cohen, appeared representing Robert
Schilling. Robert Schilling, property owner, also appeared.
Mr. Magner and Ms. Spong read their reports into the record from the March 9, 2010 Legislative
Hearing. Mr. Magner read the list of conditions outlined in the March 10 letter &om Mai Vang to
Mr. Schilling which conditions were to be met by the date of this hearing.
Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Schilling whether he had met any of the conditions highlighted in the
letter from Ms. Vang.
Mr. Dawkins stated that he had just been retained the previous day by Mr. Schilling. Mr. Schilling
did own this property and 785 University Avenue; however, the deed for both propertles had never
been recorded. He said when he talked to Mr. Schilling, he explained to him that the city had a
legitimate claim that the properties be brought up to code or they would proceed with demolition.
According to Mr. Schilling, he had not completed any of the items as outlined in the lettet;
however, he had contacted a licensed contractor, Brian Wolff, who was scheduled to look at the
property at the end of the week. Mr. Schilling also had subcontractars that he was planning to use
for the electric, plumbing and mechanical. The city had estimated the cost of the repairs to be
approximately $150,000 and it was Mr. Schilling's opinion that the cost of the repairs would be
much less. Since Mr. Wolff had not looked at the property, he did not have a bid to submit
concerning the cost of the repairs to the building. As far as the financial wherewithal to complete
the repairs, Mr. Scbilling indicated that he owned both buildings outright and the only liens agaanst
the property were the outstanding taYes and fees owed to the city. He believed there was enough
equity in both buildings to be able to take out a loan; however, Mr. Schilling believed he would be
able to contract with Mr. Wolffto pay as the work is being done. He said he personally could not
make any guarantees at this juncture since he was only going on the representations by Mr_
Schilling. He did not believe there would be any prob]ems with recording the deeds, posting the
performance bonds, paying the delinquent property taxes, applying for the Team Inspections, and
maintaining the property once it ls up to code. He said he was "putting his reputation and
commitment on the line" to work with Mr. Schilling and the licensed contractors to complete the
projects that Mr. Schilling claims he is going to do. He requested a couple of additional weeks to
put everything together before this was heard by the City Councii so that Mr. Schilling could obtain
the bid on the cost of the repairs and determine whether he wanted to proceed with the rehabilitation
of both properties.
Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Dawkins whether his client had done anything as listed in the letter from
Ms. Vang. Mr. Dawkins asked Mr. Schilling to respond. Mr. Schilling stated that he had hired Mr.
Dawkins to analyze what his options were with the properties as he didn't want to throw his money
away if he was not going to be successful in repairing the buildings. Ms. Moermond countered that
according to Mr. Dawkins, he had just been retained the previous day.
Mr. Dawkins responded that Mr. Schilling had called him the previous week and he indicated to
him that he needed to pay a retainer before he would agree to accept him as a client He was
retained the day prior to this hearing.

March 23, 2�1Q Legislative Hearing Minutes

Ms. Moermond asked whether there was a problem recording the deeds to the property. Mr.
Schilling responded that he believed it would take him approximately 8 hours of sorting through
paperwork to find the deeds.
Mr. Dawkins responded that Mr. Schilling had indicated to him that he was worried he would make
the repairs to the buildings and then lose them to the central corridor light rail project. He didn't
want to feel like he was fighting a losing battle which was why he retained kum. He told Mr.
Schilling that he should not worry about losing the buildings to the central cozridor and that he
should put the financing into repairing the buildin�. He again requested additiona] time to
determine the cost of contracting to make the repairs to the buildings and to determine the financial
ability to afford those repairs.
Ms. Moermond stated that at the prevaous hearing, they discussed the expectations of what needed
to be done in order to be �anted the time to rehabilitate the property. It did not appear to her that
Mr. Sclulling did not understand what needed to be done. Mr. Schilling responded that he needed
to see how he was going to be able to get this project done. He again said that he didn't want to
spend all of his money and then end up with nothing. He really needed to obtain a bid from the
contractor to see if the rehab was feasible. There were too many requirements involving money and
as he had explained at the previous hearing, he was having financial difficulties and was close to
filing bankruptcy. He had been trying to work his way out of debt and was now current on all of his
mortgages and things were turning around.
Mr. Dawkins asked Mr. Schilling whether he had filed bankruptcy and was on a work out plan. Mr.
Schilling responded that he did not file bankruptcy. Ms. Moermond countered thaC at the previous
hearing, he said he "considered filing bailkruptcy" and instead took out another mortgage to finance
the remainder of the repairs. Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Schilling if this was what he had said. Mr.
Schilling responded that he had never said that. Ms. Moermond responded that she recalled he did
say those words and since he hadn't met any of the conditions, she dadn't believe he was telling the
truth right now. This bothered her as she did not feel confident that he would be able to execute a
work plan and keep his word on doing the repairs to tlus building.
Mr. Dawkins asked Mr. Schilfing whether he had hired a bankruptcy attorney. Mr. Schilling
responded that he had not. Mr. Dawkins asked Mr. Schllling what he recalled saying at the last
hearing about bankruptcy. Mr. Schilling responded that he was delinquent on mortgages; they were
al] now current with the exception of one mortgage that had "gone over the line" and went outside
for collection. That mortgage had since gone through loan modification where a$148,000 balance
on the mortgage went to $162,000. Mr. Dawkins asked Mr. Schilling whether he was in any other
financial distress with properties other than 781-783 and 785 University. Mr. Schilling responded
that he had t�vo additional properties that the taxes were not current: 864 Marion and 677 Sims.
Ms. Moersnond asked Mr. Schilling �vhat other properties he owned. Mr. Schilling responded that
he also owned 392 Edtnund, 823 Laurel, and 1085 Reaney. Ms. Moermond asked whether the
deeds to those properties had been recorded. Mr. Schilling responded ±hat as far as he knew, the
deeds were recorded showing him as the owner of the properties.
Ms. Moermond stated that the only things that had changed since the previous hearing was that Mr.
Schilling had retained Mr. Dawkins and he planned to have a contractor by the name of Wolff look
at the property who would do work "pay as you go" basis and there would be some contractuai
10-367

a�eement with Mr. Wolff. Mr. Schilling responded that this was conect.
Page 4
Ms. Moermond stated that the followin� conditions must be met by the close of business on Mazch
30 in order to receive a�ant of time: 1) apply for a Team Inspection; 2) re� ster the Deed to the
property with Ramsey County; 3) pay the delinquent property taxes; 4) post the $�,000 performance
bond; and 5) the property must be maintained. If these items were not done, she said she will
recommend to the Council that he did not have the capacity to make the repairs. Tf the above
conditions are met, she will recommend granting until April 13 to meet the following conditions: 1)
submit a work plan with an executed contract with a licensed contractor; 2) provide financial
documentation indicating financing in the amount of $150,000; 3) submit contractor bids or a sworn
construction statement; and 4) provide a copy of the contract between Mr. Schilling and any partner
for c9ty approval.
Mr. Schilting asked whether he could sign a confession of judgment to come up with a payment
plan on the delinquent property taxes. Ms. Moermond responded that she would not accept a
confession of judgment because if he could not come up with the money to pay the delinquent
property taxes, she didn't have confidence he would have the financial ability to come up with the
money to complete the rehabilitation of the properties.

_vtasonry detaffs on the brick front were usually limited to panels or beltcourses of patterned
brick at the comice line, enfry and windows. Projecting bays or oriels at the upper story were
mmmon unril abuut 1910. In addifion to brick, stucco, and rusflcated concrete block were
emplo}'ed for the exterior finish.
The design of the "rlrfisric Pront Store' popular in the 1920s and thxough the 1940s was usually
based on mttage, Spanish, Tudor, Art Deco, or Modeme mofifs. Rusticated stucco and brick
surfaces, gables trinuned with half-rimbering all gave a domestic look to the exterior, more
closely related to surrounding houses. Many gas staflons were desi�,m.ed as small English cottages
or Spamsh adobes in th�,s period. The picturesque one-story, biick and stone shop at 1795 St. C(air
is among the best examples of the Arflstic Front, while a number of period xevival gas stations
including that at 300 Snelling Avenue (ca. 1932) also remain.
The "Modem Broad front" was well suited to new retailing principles. whieh called for open
display of inerchandise. A double-v�ddth stnrefront, the Broadfront uicorporated steel beams and
columns to provide a very open fa�ade. The fa�ade was primarily filled w�th a large display
window. Patented storefront materials were often applied to the fa�ade.'"
Finally, the one-story, gable-roofed bullding (sometimes of mrrugated metal construction) with a
elapboard-ciad false front persisted into Ehe Ywentieth century and was especially puputac for
businesses such as barber shops.

Mazch 9, 2010 Legislative Hearing Minutes Page 2
1. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 781-783 Umversity Avenue West
within fifteen (15) days from adoption ofresolution.
Robert Schilling, property owner, appeared. No other parties of interest appeared. Ms. Moermond
noted that according to Ramsey County Taxation, Mr. Schilling was listed as the taxpayer and C of
O responsible party. The owner was listed as Young Sun Park. Mr. Schilling responded that he had
misplaced the deed transfemng title from Mr. Park to himself which was why the deed was not
recorded.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Mr. Magner. Mr. Ma�er stated the building was a two-
story, wood frame, commercial building on a lot of 4,792 square feet and had been vacant since
August 14, 2002. A Team Inspection had been done on Mazch 26, 2004 and had since expired, the
vacant building registration fees in the amount of $1,000 went to assessment on November 2, 2009,
and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On December 1, 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 January 12, 2010 with a compliance date of
February 10, 2010. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised a nuisance as
defined by the Legislative Code. Ramseq County Taacation estimated the market value of the land
to be approximately $146,400 and the building to be $89,500. Real estate taxes for 2009 were
delinquent in the amount of $6,221, plus penalty and interest. Code Enforcement estimates the cost
to repair the building to $150,000. The cost for demolition was estimated to be approximately
$40,000. There had also been two summary abatements issued to this property since 2002, none of
which went to work order. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed
within 15 days. Mr. Magner presented photographs of the property. A copy of the photographs was
also provided to Mr. Schilling.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in
1911 and was unique being a wood-frame starefront with a full masonry structure at the rear of the
building. The property was inventoried in 1983 and was included as part of the neighborhood
context study in 2001, a copy of which is attached and made a part of this record. The building had
been built by a plumber who had his store on the first floor and lived in the upstairs flat. She
believed the plumbing business could account for the full masonry structure at the rear of the
building. Given the significant alterations to the exterior of the building, she did not believe it
would meet local or national historic desi�ation criteria Ms. Spong noted that 785 University
Avenue was scheduled for hearing on March 23 and was located next door to this building.
Ms. Moermond reviewed the photographs and exclaimed that it appeared there had been a fire. Mr.
Schilling responded that he had contacted the Fire Department who had no record of any fire at the
property. He said what was shown in the photo was a twisted I-beam which was likely caused by
previous tenants who used welding equipment He said there was a shed that was attached to a shed
which was attached to the building (or a garage that was attached to a garage attached to the
building) and there was no structural damage to the building. He said he was rehabbing a duplex at
392 Edmund and ran into problems with the contractors who he had hired to do the work as they did
not do quality work and took off with his money without finishing the job. This put him
substantially behind as he ran out of money, farfeited the performance bond, and almost lost his
home to foreclosure. He said he was considering filing baiikruptcy and instead took out another
mortgage to finance the remainder of the repairs. He said the building had a current C of O, was
occupied, and was pristine. He said he didn't do anything with his commercial properties as he felt
Pat Fish was on a"witch hunY' on violations at his property and had condemned the building due to
10-367
March 9, 2010 Legislative Hearing Minutes Page 3
the fact that he had left a water heater out to be picked up for recycling . He felt that city officials
had a political agenda against him, were in collusion, and that he was bein� harassed. He also said
he sold used appliances to landlords, some of whom are actively suing the city for various reasons.
He said he would like to "re-set the clock" so that he could fix up the property which he could do
within six months, get the building certified and sell the property to Model Cities who expressed
interest in purchasing it.
Ms. Moerrnond asked him where he operated his used appliance business. Mr. Schilling responded
that he operated his business from 785 University. Ms. Moermond asked whether he owned this
property as well. Mr. Schilling responded that he did own this property as well. Ms. Moermond
stated that according to Ramsey County Taxation, he was not listed as an owner of the property.
Mr. Schilling responded that his brother, Gerald Schilling, was listed as the tax owner who had
purchased the property from Koger Griffiths on a Contract for Deed. He was going to go into real
estate business with his brother; however, there was bad blood between them and they had a falling
out. The matter went to court and the court awarded the property to him. He said he didn't know
where the deed was for this property either which is why it had not been registered with the county.
Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Schilling whether he used 785 for his business. Mr. Schilling responded
that the water and heat were on in the building and he used it to clean appliances and had a second
hand dealers' license to operate a business Ms. Moermond responded that she didn't believe he
could operate a licensed business in a registered vacant building and Mr. Schilling responded that
he knew he wasn't supposed to be using it as a business. He said he also had warehouse space at
1400 Selby which was his primary place of business.
Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Schilling why he had not taken any action on this building since it had
become a vacant building in 2004. Mr. Schilling responded that he had done work on the building
and the only thing left was to have a plumber finish the bathroom and to put down new flooring. He
also acknowledged that there were some windows which needed to be replaced.
Ms. Moermond asked why he had had not applied for a new team inspection as was indicated in the
Order to Abate letter. Mr. Schilling responded that he didn't want to have to post the bond to pull
the permits and didn't l�ow he had to have another inspection. Ms. Moermond read the specific
language contained in the OTA. She told Mr. Schilling that this seemed to be endemic with this
property: the deed to the property was missing, he hadn't paid his property taxes, and she asked
whether he had done a confession of judgment with the county to pay the outstanding property
taxes. Mr. Schilling responded that he didn't have the money to pay on the taaces as he almost had
to file banla and had not worked out a repayment plan with the county. He was now working
on getting his finances in place. Ms. Moermond stated that given this demonstration, there was no
guarantee that he would be able to conect the nuisance conditions at this property or any of his
other properties.
Ms. Moermond continued the hearing to March 23 with the following conditions to be met: 1) must
apply for a Team Inspection; 2) must register the Deed to the property with Ramsey County; 3)
must pay the delinquent property taaces; 4) post the $5,000 performance bond; 5) submit a work
plan; 6) provide financial documentation indicating financing in the amount of $150,000; 7) submit
contractor bids or a sworn construction statement; and 8) the property must be maintained.

Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 781-783 Universit Avenue West
within fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution. (Continued from March 9)
Andrew Dawkins, attorney with Mansfield Tanick & Cohen, appeared representing Robert
Schilling. Robert Schillin�, property owner, also appeared.
Mr. Ma�er and Ms. Spon� read their reports into the record from the March 9, 2010 Legislative
Hearing. Mr. Magner read the list of conditions outlined in the March l O letter from Mai V an� to
Mr. Schilling which condirions were to be met by the date of this hearing.
Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Schilling whether he had met any of the conditions hi;hlighted in the
letter from Ms. Vang.
Mr. Dawkins stated that he had just been retained the previous day by Mr. Schilling. Mr. Schilling
did own this property and 785 University Avenue; however, the deed for both properties had never
been recorded. He said when he talked to Mr. Schilling, he explained to him that the city had a
legitimate claim that the properties be brought up to code or they would proceed with demolition.
According to Mr. Schilling, he had not completed any of the items as outlined in the letter;
however, he had contacted a licensed contractor, Brian Wolff, who was scheduled to look at the
property at the end of the week. Mr. Schilling also had subcontractors that he was planning to use
for the electriq plumbing and mechanicaL The city had estimated the cost of the repairs to be
approximately $150,000 and it was Mr. Schilling's opinion that the cost of the repairs would be
much less. Since Mr. Wolff had not looked at the property, he did not have a bid to submit
concerning the cost of the repairs to the building. As far as the financial wherewithal to complete
the repairs, Mr. Schilling indicated that he owned both buildings outright and the only liens against
the property were the outstanding ta�ces and fees owed to the city. He believed there was enough
equity in both buildings to be able to take out a loan; however, Mr. Schilling believed he would be
able to contract with Mr. Wolff to pay as the work is being done. He said he personally could not
make any guarantees at this juncture since he was only going on the representations by Mr.
Schilling. He did not believe there would be any problems with recording the deeds, posting the
performance bonds, paying the delinquent property ta�ces, applying for the Team Inspections, and
maintaining the property once it is up to code. He said he was "putting his reputation and
commitment on the line" to work with Mr. Schilling and the licensed contractars to complete the
projects that Mr. Schilling claims he is going Co do. He reguested a couple of additional weeks to
put everything together before this was heard by the City Council so that Mr. Schilling could obtain
the bid on tbe cost of the repairs and determine whether he wanted to proceed with the rehabilitation
of both properties.
Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Dawkins whether his client had done anything as listed in the letter from
Ms. Vang. Mr. Dawkins asked Mr. Schilling to respond. Mr. Schilling stated that he had hired Mr.
Dawkins to analyze what his options were with the properties as he didn't want to throw his money
away if he was not going to be successful in repairing the buildings. Ms. Moermond countered that
according to Mr. Dawkins, he had just been retained the previous day.
Mr. Dawkins responded that Mr. Schilling had called him the previous week and he indicated to
him that he needed to pay a retainer before he would agree to accept him as a client. He was
retained the day prior to this hearing.
10-367
March 23, 2010 Legislative Hearing Minutes
Page 3
Ms. Moermond asked whether there was a problem recording the deeds to the property. Mr.
Schilling responded that he believed it wouid take him approximately 8 hours of sortin� through
paperv✓ork to find the deeds.
Mr. Dawkins responded that Mr. Schilling had indicated to him that he was womed he would make
the repairs to the buildings and then lose them to the central corridor light rail project. He didn't
want to feel like he was fi�hting a losing battle which was why he retained him. He told Mr.
Schilling that he should not worry about losing the buildings to the central corridor and that he
should put the financing into repairing the building. He again requested additional time to
determine the cost of contracting to make the repairs to the buildings and to determine the financial
ability to afford those repairs.
Ms. Moermond stated that at the previous hearing, they discussed the expectations of what needed
to be done in order to be granted the time to rehabilitate the property. It did not appeaz to her that
Mr. Schilling did not understand what needed to be done. Mr. Schilling responded that he needed
to see how he was going to be able to get this proj ect done. He again said that he didn't want to
spend all of his money and then end up with nothing. He really needed to obtain a bid from the
contractor to see if the rehab was feasible. There were too many requirements involving money and
as he had explained at the previous hearing, he was having financial difficulties and was close to
filing bankruptcy. He had been trying to work his way out of debt and was now current on all of his
mortgages and things were tuming around.
Mr. Dawkins asked Mr. Schilling whether he had filed bankniptcy and was on a work out plan. Mr.
Schilling responded that he did not file bankruptcy. Ms. Moermond countered that at the previous
hearing, he said he "considered filing bankruptcy" and instead took out another mortgage to finance
the remainder of the repairs. Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Schilling if this was what he had said. Mr.
Schilling responded that he had never said that. Ms. Moermond responded that she recalled he did
say those words and since he hadn't met any of the conditions, she didn't believe he was telling the
truth right now. This bothered her as she did not feel confident that he would be able to execute a
work plan and keep his word on doing the repairs to this building.
Mr. Dawkins asked Mr. Schilling whether he had hired a baxfln attorney. Mr. Schilling
responded that he had not. Mr. Dawkins asked Mr. Schilling what he recalled saying at the last
hearing about bankruptcy. Mr. Schilling responded that he was delinquent on mortgages; they were
all now current with the exception of one mortgage that had "gone over the line" and went outside
for collection. That mortgage had since gone through loan modification where a$148,000 balance
on the mortgage went to $162,000. Mr. Dawkins asked Mr. Schilling whether he was in any other
financial distress with properties other than 781-783 and 785 University. Mr. Schilling responded
that he had two additional properties that the taxes were not current: 864 Marion and 677 Sims.
Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Schilling what other properties he owned. Mr. Schilling responded that
he also owned 392 Edmund, 823 Laurel, and 1085 Reaney. Ms. Moerxnond asked whether the
deeds to those properties had been recorded. Mr. Schiliing responded that as far as he knew, the
deeds were recorded showing him as the owner of the properties.
Ms. Moermond stated that the only things that had changed since the previous hearing was that Mr.
Schilling had retained Mr. Dawkins and he planned to have a contractor by the name of Wolff look
at the property who would do work "pay as you go" basis and there would be some contractual
10-367
March 23, 2010 Legislative Hearing Minutes
a� with Mr. Wolf£ Mr. Schilling responded that this was correct.
Page 4
Ms. Moermond stated that the following conditions must be met by the close of business on March
30 in order to receive a gant of time: 1) apply for a Team Inspection; 2) register the Deed to the
property with Ramsey County; 3) pay the delinquent property taxes; 4) post the 55,000 performance
bond; and 5) the property must be maintained. If these items were not done, she said she will
recommend to the Council that he did not have the capacity to make the repairs. If the above
conditions are met, she will recommend granting unril April 13 to meet the following conditions: 1)
submit a work plan with an executed contract with a licensed contractor; 2) provide financial
documentation indicating financing in the amount of $150,000; 3) submit contractor bids or a sworn
consriuction statement; and 4) provide a copy of the contract between Mr. Schilling and any partner
for city approval.
Mr. Schilling asked whether he could sign a confession of judgment to come up with a payment
plan on the delinquent property tases. Ms. Moermond responded that she would not accept a
confession of judgment because if he could not come up with the money to pay the delinquent
property taxes, she didn't have confidence he would have the financial ability to come up with the
money to complete the rehabilitation of the properties.
