March 23, 2010 Legislative Hearing Minutes
Page 4
Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 766 Fuller Avenue within fifteen
(15) days from adoption ofresolution.
The property owner of record, An Roan, did not appear. No other parties of interest appeared.
Mr. Magner stated the buildang was a one and one-half story, wood frame, single-family dwelling
on a lot of 4,356 square feet and had been vacant since February 17, 2005. A code compliance
inspection had not been done, the vacant building registxation fees in the amount of $1,100 went to
assessment on March 18, 2010, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On
December 10, 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 22, 2010 with a compliance date of February 22, 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 $18,200 and the building to be
$66,500. Real estate taxes for 2006-2009 were delinquent in the amount of $18,485.70, 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 23 summary
abatements isued to this property since 2005, 36 of wbich went to work order: to secure the
building and the City had to board the building to secure it from trespass, xemove improperly stored
refuse and debris, boardinglsecuring, cut tall grass and weeds, remove snow and ice, and other
exterior violations. Code Enforcement recommends the building be repaired or removed within 15
days. Mr. Magner noted that this property had previously been through the Legislative Hearing
process on March 11 and 25, 2008 and the recommendation to the City Council was to remove the
building witt�in 15 days. On Apri124, 2008, the City Council adopted that resolution. He presented
photographs of the property.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in
1916 and was a bungalow-style building. The block faces were intact with no vacant lots and
although there was some infill housing, the homes were all similar in style. The property was
located outside of the potential Frogtown historic district, it had not been surveyed and although it
did not have any historic potential on its own, she strongly encouraged rehab of the building. She
noted that this property was located in an Invest St. Paul neighborhood.
Ms. Moermond recommended continuing the hearing to Apri1 13 in order to see where this property
was at in the tax forfeiture process; if it were to become the possession of the county in the very
ne� future, possibly the HRA may have interest in purchasing the properiy for rehabilitation.

April 13, 2010 Minutes of the Legislative Hearing
Page 3
Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 766 Fuller Avenue within fifteen
(15) days from adoption ofresolution. (Continued from March 23)
Mr. Magner stated that according to a memo from Ms. Vang, she contacted Ramsey County and the
property is subject to tas forfeiture on May 3, 2010 with the property owner having the right to
redeem the property by August 2, 2010 by paying all delinquent taYes for the years 2006-2009. The
property owner also qualifies for a 10-year Confession of Judgment. He said this has been a vacant
building since February 2005 and this was the second round through the legislative hearing process.
It appeared the mortgage company had written this property off as a total loss or he believed they
would have paid the property taxes.
Ms Moermond stated that unless the ARA was interested in the property, she recommended the
building be removed or repaired within 15 days.
