Miller DATE: August 6. J 998 RE: 1369 Forest Lane, Arden Hills. MN; Steve Nixon Property This memo will provide you with a brief background of the developments with respect to the above-referred to property sinee the Court Hearing whieh was hcld on April 14. 1998. before the Honorahle Roland J. Farley. 1. The Court Hcaring referred to above wa.~ scheduled by the City pursuant to the Hazardous Building Statute. Minn. Stat. !l463.l5 et. seq. "lbe purpose ofthe hearing was to ohtain an order from the Court confirming the Arden Hills City Council's Resolution and Order dated October 27,1997. A copy of the . Resolution and Order should be included in the agenda package for the City Council meeting. 2. Stcvcn Nixon was represented by Luther Amundson, an attorney from Edina. The condition of lhe property was not seriously at issue. Essentially, the only issue discussed at the hearing was a time-table to make the improvements. During the hearing. I discussed the time-table with the staff and agreed that Mr. Nixon could have until August 15, 1998, in order to complete all of the necessary repairs. This agreemenl was based on the representation by Mr. Amundson that serious Degotiations had been commenced and were progressing with Mr. Nixon's insurance company and they were expecting a settlement with the insurance company in the near future. Presumably, there would be enough money from the settlement with the insurance company in order to provide the funds for the necessary repairs. A copy of the Findings of Fae!, etc. resulting from the April 14, 1998, hearing is attached to this Memorandum as Exhibit A. 3. Since April 14, 1998. there has been essentially no discussion between the attlJrneys regarding the matter. It is my understanding that Mr. Nixon did talk to Dave Scherbel a couple of weeks ago and indicated that the insurance company had agreed to pay off the mortgage. Thc exact amount of that payment was still in dispute at that time. .
