Item 08A <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Recommendation: <br />The property is not a licensed rental property. Therefore, because of the severity of criminal <br />activities associated with this property, Staff recommends that the City skip the three notice <br />protocol (e.g. three strikes and you're out); deny issuance of a Rental Dwelling License (a <br />license has not been applied for); and order the premises to be vacated within 60 -days. Sixty <br />days should provide the tenants time to find adequate housing elsewhere. <br />This order would affect both the tenant found to be the cause of criminal activities, as well as the <br />tenant who is not. This action does not "fix" the problem of criminal activities by the tenants. It <br />does remove it from the neighborhood. There is nothing preventing the tenants from locating <br />elsewhere within the city. <br />The property owner was Noticed of this Hearing, via US Mail and Certified US Mail (postmarked <br />November 7, 2019). An attempt to personally serve Notice prior to the November 121" Hearing <br />date is also being made. <br />If the Council approves this Resolution, Staff will placard 5067 Irondale Road, providing Notice <br />to vacate within 60 -days, and issue an Administrative Citation to the owner2. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />Increase enforcement & be responsive to traffic, code violations, & petty crimes. <br />Financial Impact: <br />This property and its tenants are the origin of numerous police calls within the past two years. <br />In addition to the City's cost of staff -hours, the tenants have created a nuisance onto the <br />neighborhood, possibly affecting the financial and health wellbeing of surrounding neighbors. <br />Respectfully, <br />Jon Sevald, AICP <br />Community Development Director <br />ATTACHED <br />1.

November 7, 2019 Notice <br />City Code, Section 1012.03, Subd 3(a) Operation of an unlicensed rental dwelling unit shall be subject to an <br />additional administrative fine, established by [the Fee Schedule]. <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Commumly <br />
