City Staff has not able to contact an occupant for the property. Staff sent a certified letter to the <br />owner listed on the County online information, but this appears to be out of date. The City also <br />posted a notice on the property on November 5, 2010, giving the property owner seven days to <br />remove the fallen tree. The property owner has not contacted the City to resolve the situation. <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 and legal costs. If the charges are not paid, the charge will be certified <br />against the property for collection with the property taxes. The City has received a quote for the <br />work from Precision Landscape and Tree for the amount of $689.34 to complete the abatement. <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 />Motion to approve Resolution 2010 -059 ordering abatement at 1960 County Road E2 for dead, <br />diseased, or fallen trees or tree branches not in compliance with City regulations. <br />Attachment <br />Air Photo and Pictures of 1960 County Road E2 <br />Resolution 2010 -059: Abatement of Nuisance at 1960 County Road E2 <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Meeting for July 12, 2010 <br />IlMetro- inet .uslardenhills\BuildinglAddress File11 Code EnforcementlCounty Road E2 WestI19601Tree Abatement111 -15 -10 Special Meeting <br />1960 County Road E2 Tree Abatement Memo.doc <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
