period would expire on September 13, 2012. The property owner has seven days from the <br />Council's 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 owners <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 owners. <br />Prior to any action, the Council must provide a hearing for the property owners. The property <br />owners were notified of the hearing in conformance with the City Code. <br />Recommendation <br />Approve Resolution 2010-048 ordering abatement at 2028 Edgewater Avenue for noxious weeds <br />and other growths of vegetation not in compliance with City regulations. <br />Attachment <br />Air Photo and Pictures of 2028 Edgewater Avenue <br />Resolution 2010-048: Abatement of Nuisance at 2028 Edgewater Avenue <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Meeting fo� Septembe� 13, 2010 <br />IlMetro-inet.uslardenhillslBuildinglAddress Filell Code EnforcementlEdgewater Avenue North1202812010 Lawn Abatement109-13-10 - CC <br />Memo - 2028 Edgewater Avenue - Nuisance Abatement. doc <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
