period would expire on July 12, 2012. The property owner has seven days from the Council's <br />order to complete the work before the City can have the work completed. <br />An abatement order allows the City to hire a contractor to complete the work on the property and <br />charge the cost back to the property owner. The charge is 125 percent of the cost of the work <br />plus administrative costs. If the charges are not paid, the charge will be certified against the <br />property for collection with the property taxes. The City has secured a contractor that is also <br />used by the Cities of New Brighton and Mounds View. The contractor charges between $50 and <br />$70 per lot depending on the size. <br />If the same violation reoccurs within two years of the Council's order, staff can order abatement <br />without an additional Council hearing or action. A letter would be sent to the property owner <br />ordering the violation to be resolved within seven working days. If the violation is not resolved, <br />staff can order the abatement and charge the expense back to the property owner. <br />Prior to any action, the Council must provide a hearing for the property owner. The property <br />owner was notified of the hearing in conformance with the City Code. <br />Recommendation <br />Approve Resolution 2010-036 ordering abatement at 4108 Valentine Crest Road for noxious <br />weeds and other growths of vegetation not in compliance with City regulations. <br />Attachment <br />• Air Photo and Pictures of 4108 Valentine Crest Road <br />��esoiution 2010-0�6: Abatement of l�uisance at 4 i 0� �alentine �rest Road <br />City vf Arden Hills <br />City Council Meeting fvr July 12, 2010 <br />\�Ahdocsl�ah�AHdata�Building�Address File\I Code Enforcement\Valentine Crest Road�4108�071210 - CC Memo - 4108 Valentine Crest Road - <br />Nuisance Abatement.doc <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
