515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 (612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: John Palacio DATE: August 22, 1991 RE: 2558 Rice Street MAYOR Raymond G. Hanson COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Bill Blesener Rick Collova Jim LaValle ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson We have not received a response to our correspondence with Ms. Andre McNeill and also conversations with Ron Hagle, a relative of the family, regarding the structures at 2558 Rice Street, dating back to June 18, 1990. Initially several complaints were issued regarding this property and Ron Hagle was to start a general cleanup process. On November 19, 1990 a letter was sent to Ms. McNeill at 165th Street, Hugo, Minnesota which included sections of the zoning code. She did not respond. Other attempts were made to reach Ms. McNeill at 5261 - 165th Street, Hugo, Minnesota in regards to the structure. Also correspondence from Steve and Sue Carrigan, realtors for Barnett Realty, revealed that the two parcels in question showed Ms. McNeill's address to be 521 llth Ave. S. E., Forest Lake, Minnesota. Letters were sent to that address. In the Council minutes,of January, 23, 1991 regarding the hazardous building at 2558 Rice Street it was decided that a letter would be the initial step that should be taken. A letter was sent to Ms. Andre McNeill on January 24, 1991 stating that they had failed to resolve the issues regarding this matter. On March 6, 1991 a letter was sent to Ms. Andre McNeill stating that the only correspondence received was from Mr. Don Hagle. He was asked for a letter of intent in regards to the removal of the building. An authorization to raze the building was included with the letter to be signed by all parties involved with this property. No response has been received. In May of this year Ron Hagle called and stated that a cleanup project would begin by sealing the well located on this property. To date no reports have been submitted to the City in regards to this action, and no work or cleanup has been started on this property. The correspondence dated July 29, 1991 was regarding the statement from Mr. Hagle that the building would be demolished within the next two weeks. It was also mentioned that legal action would be taken to resolve this matter. I have contacted Doug Maslow from Tom Sweeney's office in regards to this issue. I am recommending action through City Council and through legal action to resolve this matter. JP:bj Paj 28
