3. <br />CITY OF ORONO <br />RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL <br />NO. 6 65 0 <br />a. On August 21, 2015, the City sent the property owner a letter at the Subject <br />Property, reiterating the violations of the City Code and setting a compliance <br />date of August 31, 2015. <br />b. October 30, 2015 and April 20, 2016 site visits to the Subject Property <br />showed no change in condition. The Subject Building is boarded up and <br />vacant. Existing violations on the Subject Property include outside storage <br />of miscellaneous junk and debris, unlicensed boat, special mobile <br />equipment, and unlicensed and/or inoperable vehicles, and accumulation of <br />tall grass and weeds and piles of dead vegetation. The site visits also <br />suggested a number of health and safety concerns existing inside the Subject <br />Building. <br />C. The Subject Property has not been maintained in a clean, safe, secure, and <br />sanitary manner and is adversely affecting the public health and safety in <br />violation of the Orono City Code Section 58-1 and International Property <br />Maintenance Code, 2006 edition, Section 301.3, as adopted in the <br />Minnesota State Fire Code, Minnesota Administrative Rule 7511.0090. <br />d. Because of the inadequate maintenance, unsanitary condition, and <br />abandonment noted above, the Subject Property constitutes a hazard to <br />public health and safety and is therefore a Hazardous Property within the <br />meaning of Minn. Stat. § 463.15, subd. 3. <br />e. Pursuant to administrative search warrants, the City conducted internal <br />inspections of the Subject Building on May 20, 2016, and June 20, 2016. <br />These inspections revealed the following: Storage of propane and acetylene <br />tanks, tires, paint, power equipment, construction materials, and household <br />and commercial goods in storage bins stacked to the ceiling throughout the <br />entire Subject Building, blocking exit/entry and movement within. The roof <br />leaks and water has leaked throughout the back portion of the Subject <br />Building, causing all of the gypsum board to fall from the ceiling and <br />causing the roof rafters to rot on the ends that touch exterior walls. <br />2 <br />
