<br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: 08/04/03 <br />ITEM NO: XI. B. <br /> <br />Department Approval: Manager Approved: Agenda Section: <br />DPW/TP ~J1LAJ &.t:t3 CONSENT <br />Item Description: Set Abatement Hearing Date, 1992 Cleveland Avenue. <br /> <br />1.0 BACKGROUND: <br /> <br />1.1 The Council directed Staff to meet with Mr. Seth Eggessa (1992 Cleveland) and Mr.Tom <br />Gilbertson (2000 Cleveland) regarding code violations at 1992 Cleveland. The meeting <br />was held on July 29,2003. At the meeting Don Munson and Dennis Welsch described the <br />remedies to the permits and codes violations at 1992 Cleveland. Mr. Eggessa has now <br />applied for building permits regarding the deck and the driveway. <br /> <br />1.2 There are a number of yard clean-up and drainage issues yet to be resolved. The City <br />procedure in these cases is to set a date for a progress report back to the City Council <br />(Staff suggests September 15.) The Council then determines next actions, including <br />whether abatement of the site is required. <br /> <br />1.3 On September 15th staff will report progress on the site to the Council. If a violation still <br />exists, staff will provide the Council and owner with an estimate of cost for city <br />abatement (clean-up and correction) of the site. The Council then determines whether to <br />proceed with the abatement process and go to the formal abatement hearing. <br /> <br />1.4 If the Council determines to use the abatement process, the City must establish another <br />hearing (September 29,2003), and provide 10 days legal notice to Mr. Eggessa. If <br />necessary, the corrective work by the City could begin on September 30, provided <br />contractors are available. <br /> <br />1.5 Once the work is complete, the cost of the work is assessed by the City to the property <br />and paid similar to property taxes. <br /> <br />2.0 SUGGESTED COUNCIL ACTIONS: <br /> <br />By motion, set September 15,2003 as the date for a report on the clean-up activities <br />at 1992 Cleveland Avenue. <br /> <br />By motion, set September 29, 2003 as the date of the abatement hearing for 1992 <br />Cleveland Avenue (if needed). <br /> <br />Report Prepared by: Dennis Welsch, Com.Deve1opment Director (651-490-2232) <br />Don Munson, Building Official (651-415-2120) <br />\\Victoria\CommDev\Abatements\RCA_ Abatement Report -1992 Cleveland(080403)doc <br /> <br />1 <br />
