The Note will be assigned to the buyer in connection with the sale of the property. The agreement the City is asked to sign is standard and will not adversely affect the City. In addition, the original Note has been lost and the City will issue a replacement Note. Recommended Action: Motion to approve the attached resolution entitled “Resolution Authorizing Execution of Consent to Assignment and Assumption of Tax Increment Revenue Note and Development Agreement and Authorizing Issuance of Replacement Note”. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $0 Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: n/a Strategic Plan Relevance: Community InclusivenessFinancial & Asset MgmtEnvironmental Stewardship Integrated Communication Operational EffectivenessTargeted Redevelopment Council Packet Page Number 73 of 232 G5 Background: Van Dyke Townhomes is a 20-unit multifamily housing project in which 80 percent of the units are reserved for persons whose income does not exceed 60 percent of area median. It is located in the City’s TIF District 1-7, a housing tax increment financing district established in 2003. In August, 2005, following completion of the project, the City issued a pay-as-you-go tax increment revenue Note in the principal amount of $510,000 to the developer, Van Dyke Street Homes, Limited Partnership. The City has made semi-annual payments on the Note out of available tax increment since then. The original developer is selling the project to Dadder’s Estates, LLC and assigning the Note to the buyer. To accomplish this transaction, the City is asked to consent to the assignment and assumption agreement between the original developer and the buyer. This agreement is standard in this sort of transaction and will not have an adverse effect on the City. The City will continue to make payments on the Note in accordance with the original agreement out of available tax increment. The only change will be the identity of the party to whom payment is made. This matter is being brought to the city council because the 2003 TIF agreement prohibits assignment of the Note without the City’s consent. In the course of preparing for this sale, the original developer and holder of the Note was not able to locate the original document, which is necessary to complete the transaction. That happens occasionally and the City is then required to issue a replacement Note upon execution by the original holder of an Affidavit of Lost Note. This assures the City it will have to pay on only one Note and requires the original holder to transmit the original to the City if it is later found. If that occurs, the original Note will be destroyed. Although not directly relevant to this matter, it may be of interest to know this project generates a very low level of increment (reflecting an advantageous tax classification). In fact, increment does not cover the interest payments on the Note much less the principal. Payments are scheduled through early 2031 and the full principal amount of $510,000 is likely to remain unpaid. Since this is a pay-as-you-go Note, the City has no obligation for any balance at the end of the term to the lender. If there is no default, the City will continue to make payments to the Developer.

Historically, the Met Council required funds to be paid back in full at the end of the loan term. Per Council Packet Page Number 84 of 232 G6 the contracts, the loan for the Juniper projectis expected to be repaid in June of 2076, or when the building is sold, whichever is sooner. In August 2024, the Met Council’s Community Development Committee (CDC) updated its guidance regarding grants deployed as loans to allow local governments more flexibility and control over how loan proceeds may be used to meet affordability goals. This change allows three scenarios for utilization of the loan proceeds, including: Use of Loan Repayments: o Reinvest these funds to extend the affordability commitment of the original project. o Use funds to advance their affordable and life-cycle housing goals in alignment with regional housing policy. Non-Reinvestment of Funds: o If repaid grant funds are not reinvested for one of the approved purposes, they must be returned to the Metropolitan Council for redeployment through new LCA grant awards, in accordance with the original grant agreement. If a grantee determines that funds will not be reinvested, they should notify the Grants Administration Team promptly. Additionally, grantees must submit an annual report to the Council detailing the receipt and redeployment of repaid loan principal and interest, including how the funds will be used to support regional affordable and life-cycle housing goals. This report, which must also outline the use of funds to maintain affordability or advance other City affordable housing objectives, should be submitted as part of the Housing Policy and Production Survey conducted by the Council.

Per state statute, municipal consent is required. The proposed project includes a 4-to-3-lane conversion, signal replacements, a new trail, drainage improvements, and ADA improvements. Notice of the public hearing has been published. The City Council will hold a public hearing and consider the resolution of municipal consent for the final layout for MnDOT’s proposed improvements to TH 5. Recommended Action: a.Hold a Public Hearing b.Motion to approve the attached Resolution of Municipal Consent of the Final Layout for MnDOT’s Trunk Highway 5 improvements project, City Project 25-10. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact?NoYes, the true or estimated cost is $236,000. Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: Maplewood’s estimated share of this project is $236,000 and will be funded through Municipal State Aid funds. These improvements are included in the City’s 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), with construction taking place in 2026. Strategic Plan Relevance: Community InclusivenessFinancial & Asset MgmtEnvironmental Stewardship Integrated CommunicationOperational EffectivenessTargeted Redevelopment These improvements will help improve safety along this section of TH 5 while upgrading the existing signal systems. Council Packet Page Number 99 of 232 H1 Background MnDOT is developing plans to improve TH 5 between McKnight Road and Lakewood Drive. The project includes a 4-to-3 lane conversion, signal replacements, new trail construction, drainage, and ADA improvements. Municipal consent is required for this project because it reduces the number of through lanes from four to three lanes and requires the acquisition of permanent rights-of-way to construct a new trail along the east side of TH 5. Per Minnesota State Statutes 161.164, a public hearing is required as part of the municipal consent process. MnDOT held an open house on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at Gethsemane Lutheran Church to inform the public and gather feedback on its proposed improvement project for TH 5. Approximately 15-20 residents attended the meeting, with a number of them owning property immediately adjacent to the project. Most people supported the lane reduction. Feedback on the proposed trail was mixed, with roughly half of the people feeling the trail would not be used much. Several people strongly supported additional options for walking and biking in the area. The addition of the proposed trail is consistent with the City’s Living Streets Policy. Converting a four-lane road (two lanes in each direction) into a three-lane road (one lane in each direction with a center turn lane) can offer several safety benefits. The center turn lane minimizes rear-end collisions and sideswipes, as vehicles have a dedicated space for turning left. With a center turn lane, through traffic isn't impeded by vehicles waiting to turn left. Properties along the road also benefit from easier and safer access. This can smooth traffic flow and reduce congestion. Maplewood’s share of the project costs is estimated at $236,000 and is proposed to be funded through Municipal State Aid funds. The proposed project was identified in the 2025-2029 CIP plan, and construction will occur in 2026. A cooperative agreement will be required to cover construction costs and maintenance if the project moves forward.

The proposal includes moving the equipment off the ski jump and onto a new tower on the ski jump property at 1210 Sterling Street South. The applicant needs city council approval for a conditional use permit and design review to move forward. Recommended Action: a.Motion to approve a conditional use permit resolution for a 125-foot communications tower to be constructed at 1210 Sterling Street South. b.Motion to approve a design review resolution for a 125-foot communications tower to be constructed at 1210 Sterling Street South. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is $0 Financing source(s): Adopted Budget Budget Modification New Revenue Source Use of Reserves Other: N/A Strategic Plan Relevance: Community InclusivenessFinancial & Asset MgmtEnvironmental Stewardship Integrated Communication Operational EffectivenessTargeted Redevelopment The city deemed the applicant’s application complete on February 14, 2025. The initial 60-day review deadline for a decision was April 15, 2025. Due to the applicant’s availability, the applicant has requested a 30-day extension to the review deadline. The revised deadline is now May 15, 2025. As stated in Minnesota State Statute 15.99, the city can take an additional 60 days, if necessary, to complete the review. Council Packet Page Number 113 of 232 J1 Background: The Saint Paul Educational Foundation is the nonprofit foundation that owns and manages the ski jump. The existing ski jump is 100 feet in height. The property owner conducted a design and structural analysis, and it was determined that the ski jump tower could not hold the equipment needed for additional upgrades without structural modifications. This has led to the Saint Paul Educational Foundation working with Verizon Wireless to propose the installation of a new 125-foot communications tower. Conditional Use Permit Section 44-1327 of the city’s zoning code requires a conditional use permit (CUP) for a communication tower in a residential zoning district. The site at 1210 Sterling Street South is zoned Farm Residential. The code also states that communication towers can only be located in the following residentially zoned locations or properties: a. Churches or places of worship. b. Parks, when the city determines the facility would be compatible with the nature of the park. c. City-owned property, government, school, utility, and institutional sites or facilities. This site would be considered an institutional use site and currently has wireless communication equipment on-site. A CUP was not required previously for this site as the equipment is located on the ski jump, which is permitted by the code. In reviewing an application for a conditional use permit for the construction of commercial antennas, towers, and accessory structures, the city council shall consider the following: 1. Standards in this Code. 2. Recommendations of the planning commission and community design review board. 3. Effect of the proposed use upon the health, safety, convenience and general welfare of residents of surrounding areas. 4. Effect on property values. 5. Effect of the proposed use on the comprehensive plan. As the site already contains equipment for multiple wireless carriers who previously submitted coverage/ interference analysis and capacity analysis to the city, the applicant was not required to supply this information with this application. Towers in residential zoning districts designed and built for collocation are allowed to be 125 feet in height. The applicant is requesting approval for a 125- foot communications tower, meeting the requirement. Towers located next to a residential property line or next to a property that the city is planning for residential use must be located at least the height of the tower plus 25 feet from the nearest residential structure. The proposed tower would be located more than 150 feet from the nearest residential structure, thus meeting this requirement. The code states that all ground equipment and accessory structures must be at least ten feet from the side and rear property lines. The ground equipment for the wireless carriers already exists on- site and meets the setback requirements. No changes to the location of the ground equipment are proposed. Council Packet Page Number 114 of 232 J1 Design Review Site Plan The proposed communications tower would be located just south of the ski jump. The proposed tower and existing ground equipment meet all setback requirements. Monopole Elevation and Landscaping/Screening Sec. 44-1327(13) requires the community design review board to recommend the plans for towers, utility, equipment or accessory buildings, site plans, and proposed screening and landscaping. Sec. 44-1328(3)9 requires that towers be light blue, gray, or another color shown to reduce visibility. The applicant would need to meet this requirement. The code also requires that all equipment be removed from the ski jump and prohibits the new tower from being lit. The existing ground equipment does have a chain link fence, but staff feel there is an opportunity to add additional landscaping screening around this equipment area. Environmental staff reviewed the plans and found that the proposed tower is close to two 18” oak trees. The applicant should submit a tree plan showing the significant trees' size, species, and location within the disturbed area. The applicant should also be required to submit a landscape plan to show tree replacement, if necessary, and additional screening for the tower and ground equipment.

The Property is owned by Michael Anderson and contains a single-family dwelling that is presently unoccupied. The Property also contains a garage and a two-story accessory structure. The structures on the property have been inspected by the city’s building department and deemed hazardous for numerous reasons, as outlined in more detail below. The exterior of the Property also constitutes a public nuisance. To restore the Property to a safe, sanitary, and code-compliant condition, staff recommends that the city council approve the attached resolution and order the abatement of the hazardous and nuisance conditions on the Property. The resolution will authorize city staff and the city attorney to initiate legal proceedings in an effort to make the Property safe and bring it into compliance with state and local laws. Recommended Action: Motion to approve the Resolution Ordering the Abatement of Conditions Creating Hazardous Buildings and a Public Nuisance at 1765 Howard Street North. Fiscal Impact: Is There a Fiscal Impact? No Yes, the true or estimated cost is unknown and depends on how legal proceedings play out. It is worth noting, however, that the statutory and city code provisions authorizing these proceedings allow for the city to recover enforcement costs via special assessments against the Property if they are authorized and affirmed by a judge and not reimbursed by the property owner.

Background: On October 10, 2024, the Property and all structures were inspected by the city’s building department with the owner’s consent. During the inspection, the following conditions were observed related to the dwelling: (i) there were several tarps on the roof and evidence of deteriorated shingles and rotted facia boards; (ii) multiple windows had been replaced without the required permit and not properly installed; (iii) visible mold growth was occurring in the windows; (iv) the exterior siding was deteriorating; (v) sheetrock was removed from several walls and ceilings leaving bare rafters and studs throughout the dwelling; (vi) several electrical junction boxes were in a state of disrepair with exposed wiring; (vii) there was no functional plumbing in the kitchen or bathroom and improper drainage containers were located underneath the kitchen sink; (viii) the bathroom was completely gutted and in a total state of disrepair without functioning plumbing or toilet; (ix) there were visible water spots and mold growth on multiple ceilings and walls; (x) the chimney was removed leaving a hole through the dwelling and in the roof; (xi) the main electrical panel appeared new and no permits had been pulled for its installation; (xii) an unpermitted drain tile project was in progress in the basement; and (xiii) several adjustable posts had been placed in the basement to support the main floor framing without the appropriate permit. During the inspection, the following conditions were also observed and noted in relation to the two- story accessory structure, which was constructed without the required building permit: (i) the structure’s upper level door was only accessible by a ladder and opened up to a significant drop to the ground; (ii) the structure lacked a proper foundation and was resting on timbers; and (iii) the structure was not properly anchored to the ground, leaving it vulnerable to strong winds and other weather conditions. During the inspection, the following conditions were also observed and noted in relation to the garage: (i) a permit was pulled for an addition onto the garage in 2016 and there was no final inspection requested, i.e. the permit was not properly closed out; (ii) multiple tarps were located on the garage’s roof; (iii) an open electrical panel was located in the garage and unpermitted electrical work was ongoing; (iv) a failing lean-to roof structure was located on the back of the garage; and (v) the garage was entirely filled with rubbish and construction debris. Finally, during the inspection, it was also observed and noted that there was junk, construction debris, rubbish, logs, and brush throughout all exterior portions of the Property and surrounding the structures. Since the inspection, staff has met with the owner and discussed the Property on multiple occasions. Although the owner has indicated a desire to make certain improvements to the Property, he has not properly followed through with applying for or obtaining permits. Staff is not confident that the owner understands the magnitude of the above-referenced hazardous conditions on the Property, nor does it seem that the owner intends to properly pursue the abatement of such conditions in a lawful and meaningful way. Based on these conditions, staff has determined that the Property is hazardous, unsafe, and a public nuisance under state law and the city code. The applicable statutory and city code references are specified in the proposed resolution. Allowing the Property to remain in its current state presents significant health and safety concerns, not only for any potential occupants of the structures but also for first responders who might need to enter the structures in an emergency. Staff has determined that the only way to effectively abate the dangerous and unlawful conditions at the Property is to initiate abatement proceedings pursuant to state law and the city code. Council Packet Page Number 178 of 232 J2 A resolution has been prepared by the city attorney that (i) finds that the Property is both hazardous and a public nuisance; and (ii) authorizes staff and consultants to serve an order on the owner that requires abatement of said conditions within 45 days. Should the owner fail to answer or otherwise comply with said order after it is duly served, the city will initiate formal proceedings to request a court order authorizing the city to demolish the structures and abate the nuisance conditions pursuant to its legal authority to do so. The statutory and city code provisions authorizing abatement proceedings allow for the city to recover enforcement costs related to this action via a special assessment against the Property. If the recommended resolution is adopted, the city attorney’s office will work with staff to initiate abatement proceedings, with the ultimate goal of abating the conditions that make the Property both hazardous and a public nuisance, including bringing a civil action pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, chapter 463 and Maplewood City Code, chapter 18. City attorney Ron Batty will be present during the meeting to answer any questions that the city council may have related to this matter. Attachments: 1. Abatement Order Resolution 2.

This structure needs to be razed, or the property owner needs to obtain the required building permits in a timely fashion and make the necessary repairs to make the house habitable again. The two-story shed structure was constructed without obtaining the proper building permit and does not meet the minimum requirements of the building code and zoning ordinance. This structure needs to be razed, or the property owner needs to obtain the required building permits in a timely fashion and make the necessary repairs to make two-story shed structure compliant with the minimum requirements of the building code and zoning ordinance. The garage structure has an open building permit for the 2016 addition and there exist several code issues that need to be addressed. The property owner has started insulating and sheetrocking some of the garage walls and appears to be doing some electrical work without obtaining the appropriate building permits. There are tarps on portions of the roof of the existing garage and 2016 garage addition which appears to be indicate that the roof is leaking. The property owner shall obtain the appropriate building permits for the additional scope of work and call for the required final inspections. There is rubbish and other debris around all the structures that need to either be hauled away or cleaned up, organized and placed in one of the storage structures. Within the yard, there are logs and other debris from trees that were cut down that need to be hauled away. Historical Background: Our city code enforcement staff has documented complaints dating back to 2017. In 2020 and 2021, code enforcement staff received complaints regarding junk vehicles on the property. Due to staff enforcement, those vehicles were removed. On April 12, 2022, city code enforcement staff inspected the property at 1765 Howard Street. The property violated Housing Maintenance and Junk vehicle codes. condition, rubbish was kept behind it. City code enforcement staff sent a notification letter on April 13, 2022. Council Packet Page Number 189 of 232 J2, Attachment 2 (Photo from April 2022). The junk vehicle was removed from the property, but the house was documented as needing many repairs, including unfinished construction and roof. After numerous in-person and phone conversations about building permits between city code enforcement staff and the property owner, no progress was made, and a warning notification letter was sent on August 22, 2022. As of September 9, 2022, city code enforcement staff had received no response, and plans had not been put forward with the city, so the city issued the first Administrative Citation. On June 21, 2023, city code enforcement staff inspected the property again to confirm no progress was made so the city code enforcement staff issued a second Administrative Citation and sent it by certified mail. (Photo from June 2023). City code enforcement staff inspected the property on August 24, 2023, and again observed no change so a third Administrative Citation was issued and sent by certified mail. Council Packet Page Number 190 of 232 J2, Attachment 2 In October of 2023, I was asked to investigate the property. On October 30, 2023, I observed the condition of the propertywhich included a tarp over a large portion of the house roof because the shingles and portion of the roof appeared to be deteriorated. I posted the property as Uninhabitable and issued a Notice of Condemnation to the property owner, Mike Anderson. On November 14, 2023, I sent a letter to the property owner, Mike Anderson, requesting an inspection of the entire property, including the interior. After numerous emails and phone conversations with Mr. Anderson, he finally consented to allowing an inspection of the property and this was performed on December 21, 2023. I met with Mr. Anderson at the site on December 21, 2023, to perform this inspection. During this inspection, Mr. Anderson did not allow me to take photos of the interior of the property, however, he did provide his consent to allow me to take some photos of the exterior of the property. During the inspection of the interior of the house, I observed that the interior of the property was uninhabitable because the house had large portions of the interior sheetrock removed and there were bare studs and ceiling rafters throughout the main level. Mr. Anderson indicated that after he had removed some of the sheetrock, he noticed that the upper floor framing was only 2 x 4 construction and determined it was not adequate. He indicated that he was originally hoping to reconfigure the stairway to the upper level to be more usable, however this changed when he discovered that the floor framing was not sufficient. He explained to me that he was working on plans for an addition to the north, where he would completely remove the upper floor and rebuild it with attic storage trusses to create a new second floor. He indicated that he was hoping to finish the design and come into our office with plans and a building permit application in a couple months. I explained to him the building permit process and provided him with information as to what the drawings would need to include for this type of project. When we walked around the exterior of the property, the yard was filled with rubbish that had been the subject of the numerous violation notices that were sent to him previously. I explained to him that he needed to clean up the yard and that this needed to be a priority. He assured me that he would do this and that he would also be in contact with me soon regarding the building permit application and building plan. Mr. Anderson called me shortly after the inspection and indicated that he had some questions regarding his new proposed addition and remodeling. I had a meeting with Mr. Anderson in my office on January 10, 2024, and we went through his information which included several insufficiently hand drawn sketches on letter size paper. I explained to him that the information he had shown on his sketches was greatly deficient and did not meet what was going to be needed for his building permit application. He assured me that these were just his notes, and he was going to provide these to his draftsperson, and they would complete the real construction drawings. Mr. Anderson applied for his building permit on April 19, 2024, and provided the drawings that were prepared by his draftsperson. The drawings provided were very incomplete and I asked him multiple times to provide the missing information. He would submit more drawings that usually just included changes to the original scope of the project, but they were still deficient. He was having a difficult time understanding what was needed and all we were asking for were drawings that were clear and understandable with information as to how the addition and remodeling would be built. We went back and forth many times with emails and meetings and we were making very little progress with obtaining a set of construction drawings that could be used for the construction. On September 25, 2024, we had a meeting with Mr. Anderson at our front counter to go over his latest set of revisions and it was clear to city staff that Mr. Anderson would not be able to provide sufficient drawings, so we informed him that Council Packet Page Number 191 of 232 J2, Attachment 2 he needed to involve the services of a licensed design professional or licensed residential contractor to complete the drawings. We also informed him that we needed to gain access to all buildings on the site to assess the property and take photos to document the condition of the structures. Mr. Anderson finally agreed to allow us access to the property on October 10, 2024, and the following sections of this report are the findings of this inspection. hĬƭĻƩǝğƷźƚƓƭʹ On the afternoon of October 10, 2024, the inspection team comprising of Randy Johnson and Dan Lentz, Building Official and Building Inspector, respectively, for the City of Maplewood, met with Mr. Anderson at the site, 1765 Howard Street North, and we were allowed access to all the structures on the site.

Mr. Anderson previously indicated that he did not need a permit because the square footage was less than 200 square feet, and we explained to him that this exemption from a building permit only applied to single story sheds that are less than 200 square feet. -The only way to access the upper level of this structure is by a ladder. -The shed did not appear to have a foundation but rather looked like it was just resting on timbers which did not appear to anchor the structure down from overturning due to wind.

The roof shingles are deteriorated and there are roof leaks throughout necessitating the need for the roof tarps. It has been in this condition for many years and the property owner is not doing what is needed to make the necessary corrections to the house. There are several code violations regarding the electrical system and wiring, and we informed Mr. Anderson that these hazards needed to be corrected by a licensed electrician as soon as possible. Even though there was no evidence of any collapsed roof or floor framing, the existing structure is somewhat questionable because it is impossible to know whether there is any rotted wood because of the excessive roof leaks. There has been construction performed in the house without obtaining the proper building permits. We have been working in good faith with Mr. Anderson for the last year trying to get what is needed so we can issue a building permit for his proposed building addition and the replacement of the entire upper floor and roof structure. Mr. Anderson still has not provided what is needed so we are not able to complete our plan review process for the issuance of the building permit. Two-story Shed structure There were no permits obtained for the construction of the two-story shed structure. The construction of this structure is very unusual, and it is unclear whether it has a footing or any type of anchorage so that it is capable of resisting any overturning forces due to lateral wind loads. One solution would be to remove the structure completely. Another option would be to hire a licensed contractor to verify that the existing construction meets the minimum requirements of the building code and zoning ordinance and submit a building permit application and provide complete construction drawings for approval and issuance of a building permit. The fact that there is a door at the second level without a stairway or landing does not meet the building code and needs to be addressed. There are several other framing issues that would need to be verified as code complaint. Another issue that would need to be addressed is regarding the footing and anchorage of the structure and depending on how this was constructed, it may need to be modified to get this corrected. Garage structure There was a building permit issued in 2016 for the garage addition and a final inspection is still required. It appears that Mr. Anderson has started installing insulation and sheetrock at some point on some of these walls which was not shown on the original permit drawings. If it insulate these walls, he should pull a separate permit and provide a revised drawing that indicates the proposed construction. There are also code violations regarding the electrical system and wiring that need to be corrected, and we issued Mr. Anderson a violation notice indicating that the hazards needed to be corrected as soon as possible. Once Mr. Anderson figures out what he wants to do with the garage, he should call and schedule a final inspection so this permit can be closed out. The garage was filled with construction materials and rubbish that would need to be removed to allow us to conduct a thorough inspection. Council Packet Page Number 230 of 232 J2, Attachment 2 Yard There is rubbish and other debris around all the structures that need to either be hauled away or cleaned up, organized and placed in one of the storage structures. Within the yard, there are logs and other debris from trees that were cut down that need to be hauled away. Subsequent Information: The following items occurred after the inspection on October 10, 2024. We received a call from Mr. Anderson around the middle of December and he indicated that his architect and engineer are completing the plans for his house addition and that he will get them to us by Christmas. He also indicated that he had hired an electrical contractor to correct all the electrical code violations. We still do not have an electrical permit for any of this work. On February 28, 2025, the city sent Mr. Anderson an email reminding him that he indicated he would provide the updated architectural and engineering drawings for his addition by Christmas and that we have not seen anything. We notified him that we are continuing to receive complaints from citizens and inquiries from the City Council members regarding the condition of the property and that we are moving forward and working with our attorney to remedy this situation in an expedited fashion. On March 6, 2025, we received an email response which indicated that he would have his architect send over the latest plans. He also indicated that his engineer has been at the site and is working on the engineering for the current house. The city code enforcement staff inspected the property on March 7, 2025, and again observed no change to the house's condition and there appears to be more rubbish and materials in the rear of the house and garage. (Photo from March 2025). On March 10, 2025, Mr. Anderson stopped in the office to inform me that his architect and engineer were finishing up the drawings tomorrow and that he would get them to me by Friday at the latest.
