24 RLH RR 13-56 Ordering the rehabilitation or razing and removal of the structures at
438-442 BEACON AVENUE within fifteen (15) days after the January
2, 2014 City Council Public Hearing. (Public hearing held January 2;
laid over from January 15)
Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said it had been a "no show"
Legislative Hearing, but two attorneys were present representing Bayview and
requesting additional time to access and assess the property. She said she would
generally ask for sign of good faith in the form of payment of the performance bond
and completion of the code compliance inspection, and she recommended laying the
matter over to January 15 to allow time for those items to be submitted.
In opposition:
Christian Brandt (30 E. 7th Street, Suite 320 ), attorney representing Bayview, said
Bayview was servicing the loan on behalf of Bank of America , and they had not
received notices regarding the property in a timely fashion. He requested 60 or 90
days to give Bayview a chance to inspect the property and decide what action to
take, but said they were amenable to Ms. Moermond's recommendation of a layover
to January 15 if a longer extension was not possible.
Ben Rust (55 East Fifth Street, Suite 800), also representing Bayview, reviewed the
ownership status of the property as it related to Bayview's ability to gain access.
Councilmember Stark moved to close the public hearing. Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
Councilmember Stark said he appreciated the testimony and the attention to the
property, but it had been a nuisance to the neighborhood for much longer and a 60
day extension was far too long. He said he was comfortable with a layover to
January 15.
Public hearing held and closed; laid over to January 15 at 3:30 p.m.

30 RLH RR 13-38 Ordering the rehabilitation or razing and removal of the structures at
989 BURR STREET within fifteen (15) days after the August 21, 2013,
City Council Public Hearing.
Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said this had been a long term problem
property, and the City had put a lot into it over the summer. She said the property
was tax forfeit and the Legislative Hearing process had been slowed in the fall to give
Ramsey County a chance to explore options. She said she had received a letter that
day from Ramsey County regarding their plans for rehabilitation, and stating they
would like to begin the project in May.
Councilmember Brendmoen re-emphasized the point made by Ms. Moermond that
the City had put a lot of work into the property, and said the Council would not give a
private owner that amount of time when the property had been a blight on the
neighborhood for so long. She asked whether the City had the authority to reduce
the amount of time to 6 months. Ms. Moermond said the Council could do what they
pleased; she noted that the County had completed a hazardous waste assessment
and were maintaining the property.
Council President Lantry suggested granting 180 days to give a sense of urgency,
and the County could come back and ask for more time if it was necessary.
Councilmember Brendmoen moved the amendment to grant 180 days. Yeas - 7
Nays - 0
No one appeared in opposition; Councilmember Brendmoen moved to close the

City Council Minutes - Final January 2, 2014
49 RLH VO 13-68 Appeal of John Maranda to a Revocation of Fire Certificate of
Occupancy and Order to Vacate at 2233 and 2235 GLENRIDGE
AVENUE.
Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said the Certificate of Occupancy had
been revoked due to long term noncompliance following an inspection cycle that
began with a leaking ceiling. She recommended ordering compliance or vacation by
January 6.
In opposition:
Property owner John Maranda said the permits had been pulled and the work begun,
but he needed more time to complete the work and do a good job. He said the
extension already granted was appreciated but was not long enough. He reviewed
the items that had been completed and those that remained, and listed reasons he'd
been unable to complete the list. He said the inspector showed up before the
extension had elapsed, and had verbally called out additional items and told the
tenants to save their money because they'd be moving soon. He said he felt this was
an overstep which had prevented him from being able to collect rent or perform his
duties as a landlord, and he asked that a different inspector be assigned.
In response to a question from Council President Lantry, Mr. Maranda said he could
complete the work by the end of the month.
Council President Lantry moved to grant an extension to January 30. She said a
reinspection would be scheduled for January 31, and while the Council didn't have
the authority to reassign the inspector, the message would be passed along that a
new inspector had been requested. Ms. Moermond noted that the inspector's
supervisor had been present at the Legislative Hearing and was aware of Mr.
Maranda's concerns.
Adopted as amended (appeal denied and extension granted to January 30 for
compliance)

City Council Minutes - Final January 2, 2014
102 RLH FCO Appeal of Brian D. Alton, attorney, on behalf of Jason Twombly, to a
13-239 Reinspection Fire Certificate of Occupancy With Deficiencies at 1747
SELBY AVENUE.
Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said the only issue was whether or not
the property should be considered student housing, which was not something she
could address in Legislative Hearings. She said the inspector had made a
determination that it was student housing, based primarily on a phone conversation in
which the property owner stated that it was. In response to questions from Council
President Lantry, she said the relevant portion of the zoning code had to do with the
distance between student housing properties, and the appropriate action would be for
the property owners to appeal to the BZA for a variance to the student zoning
overlay.
Brian Alton, attorney representing the property owner, said the property owner had
resided at the property when he was a student and continued to rent the property to
students after he graduated. He said the property owner obtained a provisional
Certificate of Occupancy in December 2012, and when an inspection was made at
the request of the owner in September 2013, the inspector made the determination
that the property was illegal student housing. Mr. Alton said that the owner didn't
dispute that the property was student housing, but had missed the opportunity in late
2012 to apply for it to be legal student housing. He asked that the deficiency of illegal
student housing be removed to allow the Certificate of Occupancy to be issued, and
that the finding be made that it was permissible student housing. He said the other
deficiencies had been addressed, and tenants had leases through the middle of the
year. He noted that the student housing ordinance was intended to preserve
traditional neighborhoods, and this property was zoned B2 and was in a mostly
multifamily and commercial area.
Councilmember Stark moved to close the public hearing. Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
Ms. Moermond suggested that the Council could stay enforcement of the vacate
order pending a BZA hearing, if a variance application was made within one week.
Council President Lantry said Assistant City Attorney Rachel Tierney had pointed out
to her that the student housing ordinance set out procedures for applying for a
variance.
Councilmember Stark moved to adopt Ms. Moermond's suggestion, which he said he
felt was correct in terms of process. He said the proper place to argue the zoning
issue was with the BZA.
Council President Lantry said the other Certificate of Occupancy deficiencies would
also need to be checked for compliance.
Councilmember Tolbert asked whether the City would have the burden of proving that
a property was student housing if the property owner was not forthcoming.
Ms. Tierney stated the City's burden was to enforce the code in a uniform way. She
said if the City were to issue a tag for a violation of the zoning code, the burden would
be on the City to determine whether the property was in violation. Councilmember
Brendmoen said she had also wondered how determinations would be made as to
whether properties were in compliance with the student housing ordinance.
Ms. Moermond said this particular case was a dual issue enforcement-wise involving
both Fire C of O, and zoning, and the question could perhaps be addressed by the
City of Saint Paul Page 10
City Council Minutes - Final January 2, 2014
attorneys that worked in those areas. Ms. Tierney said she would follow up.
Councilmember Stark restated his motion to deny the appeal but stay enforcement of
student housing issue pending a BZA hearing, if a variance application was made
within one week.
Adopted as amended (enforcement of vacation order stayed pending BZA
determination if zoning variance application is submitted within one week)

STREET. (To be deleted)
Councilmember Thune said it was discovered late that there were two building
permits and one remained open unbeknownst to the developer and owner. He said
the other was closed and satisfied, and the building was almost was ready for
occupancy, and he moved to delete the vacant building fee.
No one appeared in opposition; Councilmember Thune moved to close the public
hearing and adopt the resolution as amended.

Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said this had been a "no-show"
Legislative hearing, but the owner had come to the public hearing. She asked that
the matter be referred back to Legislative Hearings on January 14 and the public
hearing be continued to February 5.
No one appeared in opposition; Councilmember Brendmoen moved to continue the

Project No. VB1402, Assessment No. 148501 at 1138 FOREST
STREET. (Amended to File No. VB1402A, Assessment No. 148809)
Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said she had hoped to use the
possibility of a prorated vacant building registration fee as a carrot to encourage
completion of the rehabilitation, but the deadlines had not been met and her
recommendation was approval of the full assessment.
In opposition:
Property owner Say asked for more time to finish the project. He said there had been
problems with the installation of the furnaces and the inspector hadn't approved
them. He said there were further delays due to back and forth communications with
the contractor and because of the holidays, but a new contractor had been hired,
another inspection was scheduled for the next week.
Councilmember Bostrom moved to close the public hearing and lay the matter over
for 30 days.
Public hearing held and closed; laid over to February 5 at 3:30 p.m.

Project No. J1401A, Assessment No. 148500 at 1084 LEXINGTON
PARKWAY NORTH. (Amended to File No. J1401A2, Assessment No.
148507)
Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said the issue was a tax assessment
for trimming brush and trees hanging over the sidewalk. She said the property owner
questioned whether should be expected to maintain the trees and whether it was his
even property. She said she had consulted with the City Attorney's office and
believed the area was part of Mr. Boyd's property in the same way the sidewalk was.
She recommended approving the assessment.
Council President Lantry clarified that the expectation was only that the trees be
cleared enough that they cleared the sidewalk.
In opposition:
Property owner Charles Boyd said he had lived there for 17 years and had never had
to trim the bushes or grass, or do snow removal before. He said it was steep and
difficult to access. He said he was not opposed to maintaining public property and in
fact helped maintain and mow the Jessamine easement south of his house.
Councilmember Brendmoen asked who shoveled the walk. Mr. Boyd said it was
cleared with a Bobcat, and he believed it was the Parks department. Councilmember
Brendmoen said she understood the ambiguity of situation. Council President Lantry
said Mr. Boyd had received orders to trim the bushes, and those orders could have
been appealed. Mr. Boyd reiterated that the area would be very difficult to access.
Councilmember Bostrom asked if it could be determined how far the Parkway
right-of-way extended on the east side of Lexington. Ms. Moermond showed an
aerial view indication that the trees were on Mr. Boyd's property.
In response to question from Council President Lantry, Ms. Moermond said the
assessment was $448.
Councilmember Brendmoen confirmed with Mr. Boyd that he had received written
orders.
Councilmember Stark said it didn't seem unreasonable to have to trim the trees every
year or two to clear the sidewalk.
Councilmember Brendmoen said she believed Mr. Boyd had received notice and
owed the money, but that she would like to look into it a little bit and follow up with Mr.
Boyd, and vote in two weeks.
Councilmember Thune suggested that if Mr. Boyd was mowing City property maybe
there could be a memo between them whereby the City would trim the trees.
Councilmember Brendmoen said the property Mr. Boyd was mowing was railroad
property.
Councilmember Brendmoen moved to close the public hearing and lay the matter
over for two weeks.
Public hearing held and closed; laid over to January 15 at 3:30 p.m.

80 RLH TA 13-637 Ratifying the Appealed Special Tax Assessment for Real Estate
Project No. J1402A, Assessment No. 148501 at 992 OMABAN
STREET.
Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said the assessment was for a
clean-up. She said the fee amount was $476, and she recommended approving the
assessment. She said the property owner stated in Legislative Hearings that she had
received the notice about garbage service but had set the summary abatement notice
aside and not seen it until later. She said the renter stated she had not received a
letter, but she (Ms. Moermond) added that the property owner was ultimately
responsible.
In opposition:
Property owner Jiayang Ma and property manager Qing Fang appeared. Ms. Fang
said she ordered trash service and the tenant was responsible for paying the provider
directly, but the tenant didn't pay and the service was stopped without the owner
being notified. She said now the fee was being paid by owner and the cost passed
on to the tenant. She said the notice for clean-up was set aside and not opened until
after the deadline, and they were asking for a reduction. She said $476 was very
high, and $200 would be better.
Councilmember Bostrom moved to close the public hearing. Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
Councilmember Bostrom confirmed with Ms. Moermond that the City had conducted
the clean-up and there had been a complaint involving health concerns related to the
accumulated trash. He said he appreciated that there had been a breakdown in
communications, but the City had performed the work and the property owner was
ultimately responsible. He moved to approve the assessment and spread payments
over five years.
Adopted as amended (assessment approved and payments spread over five
years)

78 RLH TA 13-587 Ratifying the Appealed Special Tax Assessment for Real Estate
Project No. VB1401, Assessment No. 148800 at 1160 MONTREAL
AVENUE. (Amended to File No. VB1401A, Assessment No. 148808)
(Public hearing held January 2)
Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said this was a tax assessment for a
vacant building fee. She said she had tried to create an incentive by offering to
prorate the fee if the work was finished by a certain date. She said the work was not
complete, and it didn't look like the Certificate of Code Compliance would be issued in
the near future. She recommended approving the full assessment.
In opposition:
Property owner Luther Johnson reviewed the circumstances leading to the revocation
of the Certificate of Occupancy. He said he didn't have the money to do the code
work now, and he asked for additional time and a review of some of the items on the
Code Compliance inspection. He said the property was in good shape.
In response to a question from Councilmember Tolbert, Ms. Moermond clarified that
what was before the Council was the $1595 vacant building fee for the period June
2013 to June 2014. She said it was a difficult situation since there wasn't an end
game for the rehabilitation. She said it was possible to spread the payments over 5
years.
Councilmember Thune asked whether the requirement was to bring the building up to
new building code since it had been declared a vacant property, and he expressed
concern about the effect of affirming the vacant building status. Council President
Lantry said if the City was providing the service, the fee should be charged, but if the
building wasn't vacant, the City should stop monitoring. She said the issue was
whether it was a vacant building, and it obviously was.
Councilmember Tolbert moved to close the public hearing . Yeas - 7 Nays - 0

appropriate parties.

City Council Meeting Agenda January 2, 2014
Council Meeting Information
The City Council is paperless which saves the environment and reduces expenses. The
agendas and Council files are all available on the Web (see below). Councilmembers use
iPads to review the files during the meeting. Using the iPad greatly reduces costs since most
agendas, including the documents attached to files, are over 1000 pages when printed.
Web
Meetings are available on the Council's website. Email notification and web feeds (RSS) of
newly released Minutes, Agendas and Meetings are available by subscription. Please visit
www.stpaul.gov/council for meeting videos and updated copies of the Agendas, Minutes and
supporting documents.
Cable
Meetings are live on St Paul Channel 18 and replayed on: Thursdays at 5:30 p.m., Saturdays at
12:30 p.m., and Sundays at 1:00 p.m. (Subject to change)
