Regular City Council Meeting Monday, January 28, 2008 Page 18 c. Public Hearing regarding Request by Community Development Department to perform a City Abatement at 196 County Road C to Correct Public Nui- sance Violations Mayor Klausing opened the Public Hearing at 8:17 p.m. Roseville Codes Coordinator Don Munson and Roseville Code Enforcement Offi- cer Rick Talbot reviewed the requested Council action to resolve public nuisance violations on property located at 196 County Road C; and provided photographic evidence of those nuisance issues. Discussion included the change of ownership, with the property now vacant; Wells Fargo involvement as the property holder, with them being informed of to- night's meeting; with work anticipated for completion in April or May of 2008, unless completed by the bank before that time. Public Comment Mr. Wiatros, 180 County Road C Mr. Wiatros noted that, in addition to the abandoned auto shown in staff s picture, there was also a boat on the property; and asked that staff take that into considera- tion. Mr. Munson advised Mr. Wiatros that the boat was not a violation; and could re- main there. However, Mr. Munson opined that the bank would most likely re- move the boat from the property. Mr. Wiatros further noted the condition of the attached garage, opining that its condition was also questionable; and that the overall property was less than desir- able. Mayor Klausing noted the attractiveness and size of the lot itself; and whether consideration had been given to the HRA partnering with the bank on this prop- erty. Mr. Munson advised that conversations between staff and the bank to-date had. been limited, but that staff could pursue options if there was a willingness by the bank and/or the H1tA. John Kysylyczyn, 3083 N Victoria Street Mr. Kysylyczyn opined that this was a candidate for greater work than suggested; and that the property should be identified as blighted and structures removed, in addition to other recommended work. Mr. Kysylyczyn further opined that this was another example of a mortgage company property, one of many, and with obvious lack of interest shown in the property's condition.
