Title
Appeal of Pat Wolf, o/b/o H.F.S. Properties, to a Vacant Building Registration Fee Warning Letter at 428 MINNESOTA STREET.
Date/Time of 1st LH: February 13, 2018; 2:30 p.m.
Purpose of Appeal: In its previous history, this buidling had been a vacant building. We have worked with the City on re-purposing this former retail building into an office building. As a result of this plan, the building has undergone a full demolition with the exception of the structural steel on a portion of the building. In contacting Mr. Steve Ubl about the change in status from a vacant building to a new development, he suggested that we file this appeal. See attached photos of building prior to demolition, demolition of building except for structural steel on the 1st and 2nd floors, and new structure.
Date of Order(s) Under Appeal: Janaury 31, 2018
