<br />CASE # ., .()5' <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />CONSIDER RAZING OF A HAZARDOUS BUILDING LOCATED AT <br />13670 GARNET STREET NW, RAMSEY <br />By: William K. Goodrich, City Attorney & <br />Mick Kaehler, Building Official <br /> <br />On April 21, 2010, a fire virtually destroyed the residential property located at 13670 Garnet <br />Street NW. Staff has attempted to contact the property owner in an effort to have the remaining <br />structure repaired/razed in order to eliminate the obvious hazardous/nuisance condition. The <br />owner has failed to cooperate with any abatement efforts. Therefore, we are presenting to the <br />City Council for its consideration a Resolution and Order directing the owner to take the <br />necessary corrective action within 14 days and failing to do so the City will seek a Court Order <br />permitting the City to perform the required abatement and assess the costs to the property. The <br />property's hazard insurance carrier is not willing at this time to fund any abatement with <br />insurance proceeds. <br /> <br />The details of the condition of the structure are contained in the attached resolution. In addition, <br />the attached pictures visually provide evidence of the structure's present condition. Building <br />Official Kaehler will be present at the City Council meeting to give testimony regarding the <br />structure's current status. By adoption of the Resolution and Order, the Council is finding that <br />the structure is hazardous, that the hazardous conditions cannot be removed or repaired and that <br />the structure must be razed and the excavation filled. The City must be very cognizant of the <br />property owner's rights and, therefore, we are attempting to provide the Council with as much <br />information as possible to enable you to arrive at a fair decision. <br /> <br />Enclosure: <br /> <br />Proposed Resolution and Order <br />Pictures of property in current condition <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Adopt enclosed Resolution. <br /> <br />Funding Source: <br /> <br />General Fund/Special Assessment <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #10-06-XXX ordering the razing of a hazardous building located at <br />13670 Garnet Street NW, Ramsey, Minnesota. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Attorney ~ <br />Building Official _ /;,., ~..__ · ! <br />City Administrator ~ <br />( <br /> <br />CC: 06/22/10 <br />
