23 RES PH 14-18 Ratifying the assessments for construction of sanitary sewer service
connections as requested by the property owners in connection with
the Central Corridor Light Rail Transit Project/University Avenue. (File
No. 19082C, Assessment No. 126007)
No one appeared in opposition; Councilmember Stark moved to close the public
hearing and approve the resolution.
The item was recalled by Councilmember Stark following the Legislative Hearing
Consent Agenda to allow a constituent to testify. Yeas - 6 Nays - 0
In opposition:
Winston Nguyen, co-owner of 850-854 University, said Light Rail was tough for
business and parking had been lost, and the sewer was from the street to the
sidewalk and not on the property. He said he was a 76-year-old vet who had served
in the US Army, and he asked for a waiver of the charge for his property. He said the
work belonged to the Light Rail and not to the property.
Councilmember Thao moved to close the public hearing. Yeas - 6 Nays - 0
Councilmember Thao thanked Mr. Nguyen for coming and expressing his concern,
and thanked him for his service to the country and community. He said he would
love to help, but he would then have to offer help to other businesses. He noted that
payments could be spread over 20 years.
Councilmember Stark said the sewer service connection was optional for property
owners. He said it was cheaper to do it when the City was doing other street work
than when there was a problem, but it was still optional. He agreed with
Councilmember Thao that it wouldn't be fair to other property owners if help were
offered to Mr. Nguyen.
Mr. Nguyen said businesses had supported construction of the Light Rail, and the
City should support them. He said he couldn't afford the assessment and he asked
for help.
Councilmember Thao said he couldn't offer help but would speak to Mr. Nguyen after
the meeting. He moved approval.
The item was recalled by Councilmember Thao so another constituent could testify.
Yeas - 6 Nays - 0
In opposition:
Xia Lor Vang, owner of 302 University Avenue West, said Light Rail construction had
killed business, and the amount of the assessment was $ 1100. She said she couldn't
rent the building and had no income for her mortgage and taxes. She asked for a
waiver or a reduction in the amount of interest charged. She said she needed the City
to do something different or offer some assistance.
Councilmember Thao moved to close the public hearing. Yeas - 6 Nays - 0
Councilmember Thao acknowledged the difficulties and disruptions related to Central
Corridor, but said it would not be fair to other business owners if help was offered to
some. He said he would speak with Ms. Vang after the meeting.
He moved approval.

49 RLH SAO 14-3 Appeal of Alan T. Tschida, Selby-Dale LLC, to a Summary Abatement
Order at 600 SELBY AVENUE.
Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said the appeal involved a summary
abatement order for the removal of an abandoned sign. She said a determination
was made by the Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI) in 2007, and
enforcement action was taken in 2007 and 2008 related to the removal of the sign.
She recommended denying the appeal.
In opposition:
Appellant Alan Tschida (600 Selby Avenue), one of the owners of Selby Dale LLC,
said he had received permission from Yaya (Diatta from DSI) to have the sign. He
said the sign had contained a For Sale sign which apparently had blown out or been
vandalized, and he hadn't realized the sign was empty until he received the summary
abatement notice. He said he thought code allowed a For Sale sign on the property.
He said the property was zoned commercial, and the For Sale sign had been in
continuous use since Yaya (Diatta) gave permission. He asked that he be allowed to
replace the For Sale sign.
Councilmember Brendmoen asked why a regular For Sale sign could not be used.
Mr. Tschida said the existing sign was prominent and allowed by city ordinance , and
he would like to preserve the use of the sign. He said he thought the sign predated
the sign ordinance and the historic preservation ordinance.
Council President Lantry clarified that Mr. Tschida could put a For Sale sign at the
property regardless of the outcome of the appeal hearing. Mr. Tschida said he didn't
get to the property that often but was sure the For sale sign was intact in late fall.
Councilmember Thao moved to close the public hearing. Yeas - 6 Nays - 0
Councilmember Thao asked Mr. Tschida how often the sign was checked. Mr.
Tschida said properties were checked monthly. He said the sign was a valuable
attribute for possible future development.
Ms. Moermond said the City Attorney had stated that a real estate sign was by
definition a temporary use, and this situation had existed since 2007 and was
therefore not an acceptable use.
Councilmember Thao moved to deny the appeal.
Adopted (Appeal denied)

ADJOURNMENT
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)
