Approve Order to Abate Nuisance at 5941 Oneka Lake Boulevard(Maslowski' The City has received complaints regarding junk vehicles and miscellaneous debris at property located at 5941 Oneka Lake Boulevard. An inspection of the property on October 28,2015 by City staff and the Washington County Sheriff's Department confirmed it is in violation of Hugo City Code. The issue has been addressed many times,with the last letter being sent on November 17,2015 informing the property owner that further action will be taken if not in compliance by December 7,2015. City Administrator explained that this is a reoccurring complaint on the property. Staff had worked with the property owner in the past to come into compliance;however the problem reappeared. Bear noted that the property owner is no longer the occupant, and staff was told the property was to be cleaned and listed for sale. Staff prepared an order requiring all debris to be cleared by December 21,2015 or the City will take action to abate the nuisances and the cost will be assessed to the owner. Judy Vollbrecth,daughter of property owner Viola Maslowski, stated the items belonged to her brother,Ken, and they are urging him to have the items removed. She hoped to have it cleaned up by the December 21'deadline. Klein made motion,Haas seconded,to approve the Order to Abate Nuisance at 5941 Oneka Lake Boulevard. All ayes. Motion carried. Discussion on Petition for Improvements on Forest Road, 180th Street and Foxhill Avenue Residents on Forest Road, 180th Street,and Foxhill Avenue(west of TH61)had submitted a petition to the City for improvements to their roads. City Engineer Jay Kennedy explained that 180th Street is a gravel roadway that is a boundary road with Forest Lake. There are agreements between the cities on how it is maintained. Forest Lake maintains Elmcrest Avenue to Fenway Avenue, and Hugo maintains the portion of 180th between Fenway Avenue and CSAH61. He stated the petition is invalid,which is not unusual due to the strict conditions of the state statute. Jay recommended scheduling a neighborhood meeting,including Forest Lake officials,to solicit input from the affected property owners about potential repairs and/or improvements. Mayor Weidt thanked the residents for submitting the petition.
