April 27, 2010 Legislative Hearing Minutes P1��8
2. Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 297 Iw Avenue West within
fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution.
Curtis Urbanksi, property owner, appeazed.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Mr. Magner. Mr. Magner stated the building was a one-
story, wood frame, single-family dwelling wiih a detached one-stall gazage on a lot of 5,227 squaze
feet and had been vacant since August 21, 2007. A code compliance inspection had not been done,
the vacant building registration fees in the amount of $1,Q00 went to assessment on September 3,
2009, and the $5,000 performance bond had not been posted. On January 29, 2010, an inspection of
the building was done and a]ist of deficiencies which constitute a nuisance condition was
developed. An order to abate a nuisance building was posted on February 10, 2010 with a
compliance date of Mazch I5, 2010. To date, the property remained in a condition which comprised
a nuisance as defined by the Legislative Code. Ramsey County Taxation estimated the mazket
value of the land to be approximately $17,200 and the building to be $98,600. Real estate taxes for
2005-20Q9 were delinquent in the amount of $12,030.75, plus penalty and interest. Code
Enforcement estimates the cost to repair the building to exceed $30,000. The cost for demolition
was estimated to exceed $10,000. There had also been six summary abatements issued to this
property since 2007, 12 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 stared refuse and debris,
boarding/securing, and cut tall grass and weeds. Code Enforcement recommends the building be
repaired or removed within I S days. Mr. Magner presented photographs of the property.
Ms. Moermond asked for a report from Ms. Spong. Ms. Spong stated that this building was built in
1973 and was a xambler-style building. This area of the city had nevex been surveyed; there was no
potential for local historic designation or national registration particularly given the age of this
property. She did not believe demolition would have an adverse effect on the neighborhood.
Mr. Urbanski stated that he was an architect and had designed the house for his parents who lived
there until his mother had passed away in 2007 and he took over the property. In 2007, he and his
cousin were working for a crooked conuactor who never paid them and since he didn't have any
money, he couldn't pay the utility bill. Xcel shut the power off due to non-payment, the city then
condemned his house and placarded the building. As a result of the building being placarded, the
house was vandalized and his identification, as well as other valuable items, had been stolen. He
was unemployed and had no income for almost rivo years, was living on about $100 per month, and
as a result, was forced to live in his office. He had made numerous reports to the Police who never
bothered to follow through on his complaints. He claimed he was harmed by the city's actions in
condemning the house and expected he should have been treated better by the city.
Ms. Moermond responded that the code required basic facilities, that being gas, electric and water
service. It was not the city's responsibility to pay his utiliry bill and the condemnation was justified
under the circumstances.
Mr, Magner stated that Xcel notified the city on July i l, 2007 that the utilities had been shut off at
the property for non-payment. Inspector Smith inspected the property on July 13 and again on July
20, 20Q7 noting a list of violations and condemned the property for lack of basic facilities. He
suggested to Mr. Urbanski that he should have marketed the property for sale if he didn't have the
financial resources. He also stated that the city had received numerous complaints from the
April 27, 2010 Legislative Hearing Minutes
.;;..,;
neighbors for lack of maintenance at the property in which the city had to issue work orders and had
to do the work.
Mr. Urbanski stated that he had paid the delinquent Xcel bill in October 2007 and the power was
then restored. He also claimed that his mail had been stolen and someone had put a lock on his
gazage door preventing him from gaining entry to get his lawn mower to mow the lawn. He had
recently applied to the state to obtain his contractor's license and was informed that it would take
approximately eight weeks to get the license as they were backlogged. He said he had four different
people who had contacted him and asked him to design modulaz homes for them. He believed that
by the end of the smmner, he would have the money available from those projects to then be able to
make all of the necessary repairs to the building.
Ms. Moermond stated that she did not have the confidence that he would be able to repair the
building since he had no specific plan to do so and lacked the financial capacity. She suggested he
consult an attorney for legal advice
Kerry Antrim, District 6 Planning Council, stated that the land use committee had looked at this
property and believed it was worth saving.
Ms. Moermond recommended continuing the hearing to May 1 l. The following conditions must be
met in order to receive a grant of time: 1} apply for the code compliance inspection; 2) post the
$5,000 performance deposit; 3) submit a work plan with timelines for completing the work; 4)
submit contractor bids; 5) provide financial documentation indicating the ability to finance the
rehab; 6) obtain a written agreement with Ramsey County on a payment plan to pay the delinquent
property tases; and 7) the property must be maintained.
May 1 l, 2010 Legislative Hearing Minutes
.h - :
Ordering the owner to remove or repair the building(s) at 297 Ivy Avenue West within
fifteen (15) days from adoption of resolution. (Continued from April 27)
Curtis Urbanski, property owner, appeazed.
Mr. Magner read Ms. Vang's letter dated April 29, 2010 into the record regarding the list of
conditions which needed to be met. To date, the code compliance inspection had not been applied
for and the bond had not been posted.
Mr. Urbanski stated that he talked to an attorney at SMRLS who told him that they could not
represent him due to the fact that he owned equity in the property but suggested he apply for a
reverse mortgage to obtain financing. He contacted two different mortgage companies who told
him that he would have to be able to reside in the home and that a loan would also first require
taking a three week course. He found his only choice was to se11 the property on a contract for deed
to a friend or to sell it to HomeVestors.
Ms. Moermond explained that since this was a category 3 vacant building, city ordinance prevented
the sale of a property until it was brought up to code and since he had not had a code compliance
inspection, the corrections that needed to be made were mostly unknown. She also pointed out that
he was at risk of losing the property to tax forfeiture. Since the HRA was exempt from the
ordinance, she suggested he talk to Sheri Pemberton, HRA, and to 5PARC to see if they had any
interest in purchasing and rehabbing the property.
Mr. Urbanski responded that he had a friend who wanted to move to the cities with her son. She
had available funding and was willing to purchase the property. He said that perhaps he could work
something out with her to pay for the cost of the rehab and then he could seil the property to her
after the property had been repaired. He also said he was familiaz with SPARC and would talk to
them to see if they had any interest in purchasing the property.
Mr. Magner stated that the city was maintaining the property and he needed to take responsibility
for keeping the lawn mo��ed and removing anything that had been dumped on the property. Mr.
Urbanski responded that the city had put a lock on his garage door so he couldn't get into it. Mr.
Magner responded that the city only boarded or installed clips on windows and doors to prevent
entry to a building; the city would never put a lock on a door so he should remove the lock.
Ms. Moermond stated that she would continue the legislative hearing to May 25 and Council public
hearing to dune 16. The following conditions must be met by the ciose of business on June 5: 1)
apply for the code compliance inspection; 2) post the $5,000 performance deposit; 3) provide a
work plan including timelines and the property owner's sweat equity in the project; 4) provide
contractor bids from the trades; 4) sign a confession of judgment with Ramsey County on payment
of the delinquent property tases; 5) provide details of financing far the project; and 6) the property
must be maintained.

Re: Order to Remove ar Repair 297 3vv Avenue West
Deaz Mr. Urbanksi:
10-528
This is to confirm that on June 8, 2010, Ms. Moermond reviewed the documentation
provided by you and indicated that she is concerned with the bids being so low and did
not address all of the items ]isted on the code compliance inspection report. The heating
information you provided from f-�r1A Wicks is not an actual bid but an ad; therefore, she
will not accept it. It also appears that Tntegrity Exteriors and Remodelers, Ine. is the
general contractor and the others provided aze subcontractors. If that is the case, she asks
that you provide a sworn construction statement. As of June 9, 2010, the property taxes
have not been paid and the performance deposit has not been posted.
This matter is on for Discussion before the City Council on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at
3:30 p.m. in Room 300 Council Chambers. This is not a public hearing and you witl not
be allowed to testify again. Ms. Moermond will recommend to the City Council that the
building be removed or repaired with in 1� days.
If you have further questions, you may contact me at 651-266-8563.
Sincerely,

Re: Order to Remove or Repair 297 Ivv Avenue West
Dear Mr. Urbanksi:
io-s2s
This is to confirm that on June 8, 2010, Ms. Moermond reviewed the documentation
provided by you and indicated that she is concerned with the bids being so low and did
not address all of the items listed on Yhe code cornpliance inspection report. The heating
information you provided from AAA Wicks is not an actual bid but an ad; therefore, she
will not accept it. It atso appears that Integrity Exteriors and Remodelers, Tnc. is the
general contractor and the others provided are subcontractors. If that is the case, she asks
that you provide a sworn construction statement. As of June 4, 2010, the property taxes
have not been paid and the performance deposit has not been posted.
This matter is on for Discussion before the City Council on Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at
3:30 p.m. in Room 300 Council Chambers. This is not a public hearing and you wilI not
be allowed to testify again, Ms. Moermond will recommend to the City Council that the
building be removed or repaired with in 15 days.
If you have further questions, you may contacT me at 651-266-8563.
Sincerely,
