MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, August 8, 2011 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> Page 20 of 21 <br /> <br />(12a. HAZARDOUS BUILDING ACTION AT 3572 LIVINGSTON AVENUE, Continued) <br /> <br />McMillan noted this is the third such building this year. McMillan asked how the City would pay for the <br />cleanup costs. <br /> <br />Olson indicated the monies would come out of the PIR Fund and then the costs would be assessed back to <br />the property. <br /> <br />Mattick commented that they are seeing a lot more of these hazardous building actions in various <br />communities. The leading cause of damage is a burst pipe and then fire, which is not the case here. Some <br />communities are also experiencing destruction of homes from looting. Mattick indicated his firm used to <br />see two to three of these a year but that has gone up to 20 a year due to the nature of the economy. <br /> <br />Printup moved, Rahn seconded, to adopt Resolution No. 6067 authorizing the issuance of the <br />demolition order for removal of the hazardous building and abatement of the property located at <br />3572 Livingston Avenue. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br /> <br />Mattick indicated there has also been some discussion about conducting some training on the new <br />variance standards and other legislative updates. Mattick asked if that is something that Council is <br />interested in doing or whether they should hold off on training. <br /> <br />Rahn stated it likely will not happen until after the first of the year since the agendas for the City <br />Council's work sessions are already full. <br /> <br />Mattick stated the training would include removal of nonconformities when processing variances and <br />some remedial training on variances and CUPs. <br /> <br />Curtis stated in her view the training would be valuable. Curtis noted the majority of the Planning <br />Commission has participated in the League of MN Cities' online land use training but that the additional <br />training would be helpful. <br /> <br />Franchot commented it would be a good idea if the Planning Commission and City Council complete the <br />training together so everyone is on the same page. <br /> <br />Mattick stated the training would also be more in depth than what the League of MN Cities provides and <br />would be more specific to the types of applications the City deals with on a regular basis. <br /> <br /> <br />*13.
