EXTRACT OF MINUTES OF MEETING OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEVILLE Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Roseville, County of Ramsey, Minnesota was duly held on the 20th day of September, 2010, at 6:00 p.m. The following members were present: Roe, Ihlan, Johnson, Pust, Klausing, and the following were absent: none. Member Roe introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION No. 10846 DECLARING THE BUILDING LOCATED AT 661 COPE AVENUE A HAZARDOUS BUILDING AND REQUIRING IT'S REPAIR OR RAZING. WHEREAS, pursuant to Minn. Stat. 463.15 through 463.261 the City Council of Roseville finds the building located at 661 Cope Avenue to be a hazardous building for the following reasons: • Under the Hazardous Building Law (Minn. Stat. 463.15-.23) the City may require a property owner to repair/remove hazardous conditions or raze the building if the structure meets the definition of "hazardous building" which is defined as: `Any building or property, which because of inadequate maintenance, dilapidation, physical damage, unsatisfactory conditions, or abandonment, constitutes a fire hazard or a hazard to public safety or health.' o The roofing materials are failing and are not weather tight, allowing storm water to enter and rot the building structure. o The roof structure is rotting away with roof boards collapsing under the weight of snow and much of the roof soffits simply gone. o Much of the siding is broken, chipped and dilapidated. o Trim boards are rotted and falling off the structure. o Doors and windows are haphazardly boarded over. o Paint has failed over the entire structure, allowing rot to accelerate. o The structure has been repeatedly broken into and left open. o The interior of the building is haphazardly piled with old, used lumber. This creates harborage for rodents and other animals.
