MAYOR Michael I. Fahey COUNCTh Beverly Sea ice Jim taVaile Steve Mercian Bob Pedersen ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson During our phone conversation, you raised the issue of the crumbling foundation and your concerns regarding inadequate grading which currently exists on the property. I researched what viable options there are to allow us to help improve this situation for you and have learned of the authority in Minnesota Statutes Section 463.151 to enter into an agreement with you to resolve these issues. I am enclosing with this letter an Agreement which would appear to satisfy the requirements of that statute. The enclosed Agreement provides that the City will fill in the site to gade and seed the area in a manner in compliance with City's zoning and municipal code regulations. The cost of this work, in addition to the $5300.00 previously incurred by the City for the removal of the fire- damaged structure, would then be assessed against your property. Please note that Minnesota Statutes Section 463.151 allows the City to spread out this assessment over a 5 -year period of time at an interest rate of 8% if an agreement is reached with the landowner. Absent such an agreement, there does not appear to be any authority for spreading the assessment over a period of years. We also are suggesting that prior to this Agreement being executed either by you or the City, the City would obtain estimates for the additional work which needs to be done on the property. The costs of that additional work would then be specifically stated in the Page 116
