7. Appeal of Kevin Menard to a Summary Abatement Order for property at 1186 Seventh
Street East.
Kevin Menazd, property owner, appeared. Jeff Hawkins, DSI — Vacant Buildings, appeared on
behalf of the department.
Mr. Hawkins read into the record the ordinance concerning the requirement to install an excess flow
valve at vacant buildings: Sea 43.03. (d) In order to decrease the risk of fire, explosion or
dangerous conditions, the owner shall install an excess flow automatic gas shut-off valve ("excess
flow valve") on the building's gas piping immediately downstream of the gas meter outlet within
sixty (60) days after the designation of any building or portions thereof classified under Saint Paul
Leg. Code § 43.02 (7) as a category II or a category III vacant building. If the owner fails to install
an excess flow valve, the enforcement officer, under the authority of Saint Paul Leg. Code § 45,
may install the excess flow valve on the building and enter the building if necessary. The costs
incurred by the city for installation of the excess flow valve shall be assessed against the property as
a summary nuisance abatement under the provisions of Saint Paul Leg. Code § 45. Owners of
category II or III vacant buiidings with active water and gas service on the effective date of this
ordinance shall have sixty (60) days following the effective date of this ordinance to install an
excess flow valve. Prior to installation oPthe excess flow valve, the owner, or another who can
demonstrate a secured interest in the property must obtain the required permits from the Department
of Safety and Inspections. Any excess flow valve model must be approved and installed as required
by the DeparCment of Safety and Inspections.
Mr. Menard stated that the gas had been shut off at the meter and since there wasn't any copper
piping in the building, thexe would be no danger of pipes being stolen and gas leaking. He said he
didn't understand why there was a requirement to hun off the water too.
Mr. Hawkins explained that the requirement to shut off the water was so that pipes did not freeze
and burst during the winter months.
Ms. Moermond recommended denying the appeal and granting an extension to October 31, 2010 to
turn the water off to the property.
