Item No: 07D <br />Meeting Date: January 23, 2017 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: James Ericson, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8703 Authorizing the Abatement of Nuisance <br />Conditions at 2832 Mounds View Boulevard (“Tires ‘n More”) <br /> <br />Introduction: <br /> <br />The property located at 2832 Mounds View Blvd, owned by C & N Group LLC, with an <br />office located at 980 Osbourne Road in Fridley, is currently in violation of Mounds View <br />City Code. Complaints have been received about junk vehicles on the property as well as <br />a pile of old tires behind the building. This has been an ongoing problem resulting in <br />previous court citations being issued. A letter was sent to the property owner on January <br />12, 2017, requesting that the conditions be corrected by January 22, 2017. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />Section 607.03 of the City Code enumerates conditions that constitute a public nuisance, <br />including the automobile tires piled behind the building. Section 607.07 of the City Code <br />relates to vehicles constituting a public nuisance and their impoundment. Section 607.09 <br />of the City Code provides for the ability to gain compliance with the City Code through an <br />abatement process. In non-emergency situations, where no immediate threat to the public <br />health and safety exists, the City Code requires that staff obtain City Council authorization <br />before an abatement of the conditions proceeds. The City Code also requires that the City <br />provide the property owner at least 10 days’ notice before the City Council takes action on <br />the abatement. The notice to the property owners was dated January 12, 2017. <br /> <br />The property owners have not contacted the City in response to the notice dated January <br />12, 2017. If they should be in attendance at the January 23, 2017, meeting, they shall be <br />afforded an opportunity to address the City Council regarding this matter. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends City Council approve Resolution 8703, a resolution authorizing the <br />abatement of public nuisance conditions at 2832 Mounds View Boulevard with the cost of <br />the abatement charged back to the property owners. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />City Administrator
