MAYOR Bill Blesener COUNCIL Rick Montour Barbara Allan John Keis Michael McGraw 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 ADMINISTRATOR (651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766 -4048 Joel R. Hanson www.ci.little-canada.mn.us MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Blesener and Members of the City Council FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator DATE: February 9, 2007 RE: Valor Hazardous Building Report As you know, the City has been dealing with a number of code related issues at Valor Enterprises (3165 -3167 Spruce Street) for quite a period of time now. Staff has executed two inspections of the property via administrative search warrant. Based on the serious hazards found there, reports have been prepared outlining the violations and actions needed for compliance. Some have been deemed "Imminent Hazards" and are serving as the basis for a corrective order pursuant to the Hazardous Buildings Statutes. Attached is the corrective order prepared by the City Attorney. (He will complete the blanks at Wednesday's meeting pending a title check that is being conducted.) Following the order is the Imminent Hazards report with accompanying pictures. (This is the report that provides the background for the corrective order.) Next is the Fire Inspection Report followed by the Building Code Report (Evaluation/Damage Report) and the Electrical Violations Report. These last reports are additional code violations that will need to be addressed before on -going use of the building is re- established. The imminent hazards are the ones that need to be addressed before we will remove the red tag (other than to allow entry to correct the violations). Staff is recommending the Council approve and adopt the Order to Correct Hazardous Condition of Building pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapter 463.17 as prepared by the City Attorney. cc: Pat Sweeney, City Attorney
