Daytime Phone Number:: <br />Email Address:: <br />Please Share Your Comment, Question or Concern: Dear Roseville City <br />Council Members, <br />We are writing to you concerning the vacant buildings that remain at the <br />site of the former trucking facility that backs up to Langton Lake Park. <br />Since these buildings have been vacated there has been much graffiti <br />showing up on the buildings. This can only indicate that persons who we <br />don't want in our neighborhoods are in fact spending time here defacing <br />our city. <br />Vacant buildings such as these are hazardous. Small children may wander <br />into these properties, they are an attraction to kids as well as <br />vandals, possibly drug deals or gangs or vagrants. Stray animals and <br />rodents may find it inviting as well. At the very least they are an <br />eyesore to people who live in the community. Some of the doors are open <br />and the fence along the park is broken down at least in one area. <br />Are there any ordinances that require building owners to keep their <br />properties in reasonable repair and prevent them from becoming an <br />eyesore and detracting from our community? Who wants to live down the <br />street from a rundown old building covered by graffiti? Not me, but I <br />do. <br />There are other issues as well. The storm water run off containment <br />structures are rotting away, the runoff - most likely containing oil, <br />grease and diesel fuel from past maintenance and storage activities goes <br />directly into Langton Lake. Last spring there was such a torrent of <br />water (and who knows what else) running off the property that it eroded <br />a hole through the asphalt of the parking lot. There have also been <br />issues with weeds growing tall and not being mowed. I am sure if I did <br />not mow my lawn someone from the city would tell me I need to. <br />We would like to email some pictures illustrating some views of these <br />properties taken from one of our great parks that we are so proud of. <br />Please let us know who to email pictures to. There doesn't appear to be <br />a place to attach pictures on your site here. <br />Thank you for your attention to this matter. <br />Regards, <br />Ed and Kelly Jaros <br />1858 County Road C2 West <br />Roseville, MN 55113 <br />Additional Information: <br />Form submitted on: 2/25/2009 10:32:14 AM <br />Submitted from IP Address: <br />Form Address: http://www.cityofroseville.com/forms.asp?FID=115 <br />2 <br />
