LEGISLATIVE HEARING DISCUSSION ITEMS

Making finding on the appealed of Michael E. Corcoran to a nuisance

abatement ordered for 1478 AMES AVENUE in Council File RLH SAO 24-51.

RLH SAO 25-10

(Public hearing closed and laid over from July 23, 2025)

Nuisance not abated. DSI authorized to clean up.

Marcia Moermond, Legislative Hearing Officer: Council laid this over for two weeks to

give time to clean up the yard and vehicles. The vehicles are addressed but some

things remain in the yard. I recommend you find that the nuisance is not abated and

authorize the Department of Safety and Inspections to abate the nuisance.

Councilmember Yang: I move approval of that recommendation.

AVENUE. (File No. J2522R4, Assessment No. 258582) (Public hearing

continued to August 6, 2025)

RLH TA 25-294

Public hearing continued for three weeks.

Hue Tran, property owner, appeared in person and spoke through a Vietnamese

interpreter

Marcia Moermond, Legislative Hearing Officer: This is an assessment for a property

cleanup stemming from a homeless encampment. The City removed the larger items

like tents but issued a summary abatement order for the smaller things left behind like

trash. The order was issued on March 19, 2025. Cleanup was not done by the

compliance date of March 26, and a work order was put in which was done on April 7.

The cost is for 1 hour of work, plus a charge for the materials a service charged. The

total is $669.

Hue Tran: I want to state the correct address, which is 427 Aurora Ave. The letter I

received on March 19 included a photo that was not of my property. There are two more

photos. One is of my property, but the other is owned by a liquor store. This photo

should not be under my name. This cleanup should not be charged to me. The

homeless people behind the property made more trash for me to clean up. I was told

messages were left for me, but I did not receive them. My property is my responsibility

to clean up, but those pictures are not my property. If you include it all together, I will

not pay. I will only pay for my portion.

Councilmember Kim moved to continue the public hearing to August 27.

Moermond: That was what Councilmember Bowie wished for, which was communicated

through her legislative aide. I can also provide follow-up information to things that were

said today.

Councilmember Johnson: Are we able to confirm the property lines?

Moermond: Yes. We reviewed that in Legislative Hearing using aerial maps and I want

you to have that info before you make a decision.

Amending Council File RLH AR 24-25 to reduce the assessment Collection of

Vacant Building Registration fees billed during April 5 to October 20, 2023 at

1350 HAGUE AVENUE. (File No. VB2407, Assessment No. 248806) (Public

hearing closed and laid over from August 27, 2025)

RLH TA 25-344

Public hearing continued for 3 weeks.

Ashley and Bradley Taylor, property owners, appeared in person

Marcia Moermond, Legislative Hearing Officer: This is an unusual circumstance

amending a previously ratified vacant building assessment that has been certified to

property taxes for 2025. Any reduction adopted by Council would come in the form of a

refund. We needed to investigate a possible error in Legislative Hearing. This was a

registered vacant building since 2019. There used to be two buildings on the parcel.

One was knocked down. The other continued to exist without a use as a vacant

building. It needed to be fixed and get its Fire Certificate of Occupancy (FCO) back,

and the changes the owner wanted also required a change in use. In 2022, there was

work on the property done without permits. The Department of Safety and Inspections

(DSI) spoke to the owner about that. In February 2024, the Change in Use documents

were submitted to DSI. The vacant building file was closed in March. In the normal

course of events, I would ask Council to consider prorating the assessment. The bill

was from October 2023 through October 2024 and the building was out in March at 6

months in. Was a mistake made? My finding is no. To treat it as similar cases to

those that are timely, you could prorate this amount as a refund, which is my

recommendation.

Ashley Taylor: We did not own the building until halfway through 2023. We got letters

about this, and each time we got one we called, texted, or showed up in-person to DSI.

We were told repeatedly that the letter was a mistake by Clint Zane, Nathan Brune,

and Matt Dornfeld. We did everything we could and were told to ignore the letter. There

may have been confusion. Maybe the inspectors weren't out there in-person and

weren't aware. We were told this was a mistake within the system and that it would be

pulled off 6 or 7 times. We trusted the inspectors and then saw this $5,000 bill on our

taxes two years later in 2025. We would not have just ignored this bill. We developed

this property as a community garden under the Hamline Ave bridge.

Councilmember Kim: What is your ask?

A. Taylor: We want the entire bill removed, since that was what we were told would

happen in 2023.

Kim: Because Councilmember Bowie is out, I will move to continue the public hearing

for three weeks.

Appeal of Adam Dullinger to a Summary Abatement Order at 1345 KENT

STREET.

RLH SAO 25-48

Appeal granted

Adam Dullinger, property owner, appeared in person

Marcia Moermond, Legislative Hearing Officer: An order to remove tall grass and weeds

was issued automatically after a complaint came in. These are not investigated before

an order is issued. Three days later and inspector goes to check, similar to snow

shoveling. There was an appeal to say that it was not tall grass and weeds but rather

an intentional pollinator garden. There was testimony that the owner had invested

$3,000, perhaps $4,000, on it. Over the course of the hearing, I developed a

recommendation that Council grant the appeal. Unfortunately, three days after my

recommendation, contractors were dispatched to cut the grass and it was all mowed

down. I will try to pull up a photo for you.

Adam Dullinger: I had my whole yard redone as a pollinator garden 4 years ago. This is

extremely disheartening. My recommendation is that this part of the ordinance needs to

change. This should not be automatic. This violates state law that allows native

landscapes that exceed 8 inches. It's kind of just up to the inspector to decide if they

think it's native, and that isn't right. I don't have a say if my neighbors complain and

that's a burden on me. This is the first year we really saw seedlings from our tree

coming out.

Councilmember Kim: Do you have any change to Moermond's recommendation?

Dullinger: No.

Kim: We still need to vote even though the work happened?

Moermond: It would be good to create a record indicating that Council found this not to

be an overgrown turf lawn. State law does provide for this type of planting.

Kim: I move to approve this appeal.

Councilmember Johnson: The issue was not the ordinance but rather the process

where the issue wasn't put on hold upon appeal. What happened?

Moermond: Code says that enforcement is stayed for the duration of an appeal, with

some exceptions for things like emergency vacate orders with imminent safety

concerns where I can make temporary decisions. That did not happen here. DSI staff

were in the Legislative Hearing. I think there was a communication issue between the

DSI person staffing the room, the person who sends out work orders, and the person

who oversees the work crews, which could be three different people. This is a first for

me with this happening.

Johnson: This is slightly concerning and if there's a pattern of this we need to discuss

it further.

Council Meeting Information

The City Council is paperless which saves the environment and reduces expenses.

The agendas and Council files are all available on the Web (see below). Council

members use mobile devices to review the files during the meeting. Using a mobile

device greatly reduces costs since most agendas, including the documents attached

to files, are over 1000 pages when printed.

Web

Meetings are available on the Council's website. Email notification and web feeds

(RSS) of newly released minutes, agendas, and meetings are available by subscription.
