City of Mounds View Staff Report Resolution No. 5106, Authorization to Abate 2349 Laport Drive April 11, 1997 Page 2 (3) Section 607.03, Subd. 3e: "The depositing of maintaining,permitting or failing to remove, garbage, trash, rubbish, bottles, cans and other refuse on any property within the City, including large quantities of organic debris materials, which accumulated by other than natural means, except properly maintained compost piles." (4) Section 607.06, Subd. 3c1: "Vehicles which are parked or stored outside shall be on an improved surface as defined in this Code." (5) Section 607.06, Subd. 6a: "Abandoned and junk vehicles are declared to be a public nuisance creating a hazard to the health and safety of the public because they invite plundering, create fire-hazards, attract vermin, and present physical dangers to the safety and well-being of children and other citizens." (6) Section 607.06, Subd. 6d: "Any vehicle shall be deemed to be a junked or abandoned vehicle if said vehicle does not have attached thereto a valid and current license plate issued by the proper State agency." Numerous letters have been sent to the Lodmills regarding these violations. The most recent of these letters dated March 25, 1997 and April 2, 1997 are attached for the Council's reference. 4111 Staff has extended previous deadlines to have the orange truck removed (by April 15, 1997) and the junk, debris and brush accumulations (by May 1, 1997.) The process for abating properties is addressed in Section 607.08, Subdivision 1. It states that if, upon the judgement of the enforcement official, nuisance conditions are being maintained or exist within the City, a notification shall be sent or delivered to the person(s) committing and maintaining such nuisances. The notification shall require the person(s) to correct the violations within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 30 days. If corrective actions are not taken within the specified period, the City Council may authorize abatement. The person(s) shall be notified at least ten days in advance of the Council meeting and be given an opportunity speak before the Council. The letter sent to the Lodmills on April 2, 1997 satisfies this requirement. Recommendation: Approve Resolution No. 5106, a resolution authorizing the abatement of nuisances at 2349 Laport Drive. duAA, Jim Ericson, Planning Associate • N:\DATA\USERSUIME\SHARE\LODMILL.RPT
