May 3, 2004 Mr. Seth Eggessa 1992 Cleveland Ave Roseville, MN 55113 RE: Complaint File COl-506 Dear Mr. Eggessa: At the October 13th, 2003 City Council Meeting the City Council authorized the Community Development Department to spend up to $1,000.00 to abate a City Code violation on property located at 1992 Cleveland Ave. which City records indicate is owned by you. The violation approved for abatement was the completion of a drainage swale mound that is causing erosion onto adjoining property at 2000 Cleveland Ave. The City then received two bids for this work: one bid totaled $2,980.00 and the second bid totaled $1,568.00. Both bids were over the $1,000.00 authorized by City Council. Therefore, on May 24th the City Council will again discuss this issue. Mr. Eggessa, you are encouraged to attend this meeting and you will be given the opportunity to speak, if you choose to do so. City Council meetings begin at 6:00 P.M. At this meeting the Community Development Department will be requesting authority from City Council to accept the $1,568.00 bid to complete the following work: constructing aI' by 75' retaining wall and removing any remaining portion of the drainage swale mound that is still on adjoining property. Charges incurred for this work would then be charged against your property (1992 Cleveland Ave.) for immediate payment, or (if not paid), for assigning to property taxes (per City Code Section 407.06 & 07 - copy enclosed). Mr. Eggessa, since this meeting will not occur for almost three weeks, I encourage you to complete the work yourself before this date. I do realize you have made significant progress correcting the original list of violations and your property is looking very good, however, this remaining item adversely affects an adjoining property and must be completed. As stated previously, satisfactory repairs would include: removing any portion of the swale from the adjoining property and then covering the northerly portion of the swale mound with a wall or pennanent type covering that would stop erosion from occurring onto the adjoining property.
