DEMO REFERENCESDEAR CITY OF FRIDLEY, I REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE HEARD FROM THE SAXE FAMILY ALOT OVER THE LAST 5 MONTHS, BUT NOT FROM ME. MY NAME IS KIM SAXE. I AM 25 YEARS OLD AND HAVE LIVED IN FRIDLEY FOR OVER 20 YEARS OF MY LIFE. ALMOST ALL OF THAT TIME HAS BEEN AT 611 LAFAYETTE ST. I REALIZE THAT MY PARENTS AND I HAVE LOST OUR FIGHT TO SAVE AN "AFFORDABLE" HOME. A FEW FACTS: MY PARENTS CAN ONLY BE QUALIFIED FOR A $65,000 MORTGAGE. DO YOU'KNOW HOW MANY SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THERE ARE IN FRIDLEY FOR SALE? THE ANSWER IS ALOT, BUT NOT ONE OF THEM IS UNDER $65,000. SO, SOMEONE SAYS TO MOVE INTO AN APARTMENT. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS WE HAVE A DOG AND VERY FEW APARTMENTS IN THE AREA ACCEPT DOGS AND THOSE THAT DO ARE BASICALLY OUT OF OUR PRICE RANGE AS WELL. FACT OF THE MATTER IS AT 611 LAFAYETTE STREET THE MORTGAGE PAYMENT WAS $430.00 A MONTH AND THE APARTMENT WE HAD TO MOVE INTO IS ALMOST $850.00 A MONTH. THE ISSUE BECOMES THAT OUR INCOME STAYED THE SAME. I COULD CONTINUE TO GIVE YOU WHAT MAY SEEM LIKE A SOB STORY, BUT THEY ARE JUST FACTS. I ALWAYS GREW UP WITH THE IDEALISTIC VIEW OF "FRIENDLY FRIDLEY,' WELL, THAT BELIEF WAS SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES.MY IMAGE OF FRIDLEY NOW IS THAT THEY WANT TO "REMOVE" ALL LOWER INCOME PEOPLE FROM THE TOWN BECAUSE I WOULD SUSPECT THAT THE 50 FOOT LOTS PROBABLY CONTAIN "AFFORDABLE" HOMES. MOST OF THESE FAMILIES ARE ALSO PROBABLY UNAWARE OF YOUR ORDINANCES AND WHEN TRAGEDY STRIKES WILL ALSO BE TOLD BY THE CITY "TOUGH LUCK". MY QUESTION TO YOU IS: WHAT IS A FAMILY, ANY FAMILY SUPPOSE TO DO WHEN THEIR HOMES ARE TAKEN FROM THEM AND THEY CAN'T AFFORD ANYTHING ELSE? MY STATEMENT THEN TO YOU IS: THANK YOU FOR KICKING OUT OF FRIDLEY A FAMILY THAT HAS ALWAYS CALLED FRIDLEY "HOME". PLEASE PUT YOURSELVES IN OUR SHOES - YOU WOULD HAVE FOUGHT TO SAVE /YOUR � HOME TO.

Saxe 611 Lafayette St NE Fridley, MN 55432 Re: Fire Damaged Structure at 611 Lafayette Street NE, Fridley Dear Mr. Saxe: This letter will serve as notification to you that a building permit to repair the above structure will not be issued by the City as the structure is a nonconforming structure and has been damaged more than 50% by the fire. According to Section 205.04.03.3D, of the Fridley Zoning Code, "Whenever a lawful nonconforming structure is damaged by fire, flood, explosion, earthquake, tornado, riot, or act of God, it may be reconstructed and used if it is reconstructed within 12 months after such calamity, except if the damage to the building or structure is fifty percent (50%) or more of its fair market value, as determined by the City, in which case the reconstruction shall be for a use in accordance with the provisions of this chapter". The building itself is assessed at a value of $23,000.00 and the estimate for fire repairs is $25,000.00. Therefore the City of Fridley will not allow the structure to be repaired but must be demolished. If you desire to rebuild on this site, a variance must first be approved for lot area by the City Appeals Commission. Other variances may be required depending on the type of dwelling that will be constructed. The City of Fridley will allow you 30 days to remove the structure and clean the site of all demolition debris. A demolition permit will have to be applied for and the utilities must be disconnected at the property line. We should also get a final reading, if possible, from the water meter and remove the meter from the building. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call me at 572-3603.

The structure must be demolished and the site cleaned of all demolition debris by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, March 2, 1998. A demolition permit must be obtained and the utilities disconnected at the property line. A final reading from the water meter should also be obtained prior to removing the meter. On Tuesday, February 5, 1998 1 spoke to Michael Pakkala at United Claims and verified that the City cannot issue a building permit for the repair of the structure, nor the reconstruction of a house, according to Sections 205.04.03.B and D of the Zoning Code. He stated that he will be in contact with you regarding the final disposition of your claim. I would also like to suggest some options regarding the sale of your property. You may inquire as to whether your adjacent property owners are interested in purchasing half or all of your property, or the City of Fridley Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA) may agree to purchase the property as well. Should you wish to negotiate with the HRA, please feel free to contact me. I know this situation has been extremely stressful for you. Should you need more information, please feel free to contact me at 572-3590. Gary and Barbara Saxe February 6, 1998 Page 2 Sincerely, Barbara Dacy, AICP Community Development Director BD/dw C-98-22 c: Dick Larson Ron Julkowski Michael Pakkala AW CINOF FRIDLEY Q �- FRIDLEY MUNICIPAL CENTER • 6431 UNIVERSITY AVE. N.E. FRIDLEY, MN 55432 • (612) 571-3450 • FAX (612) 571-1287 February 13, 1998 Representative Alice Johnson 801 Ballantyne Lane N.E. Spring Lake Park, MN 55432 Dear Representative Johnson: Councilmember Ann Bolkcom contacted me on Thursday, February 12, 1998, requesting that I mail you a copy of the correspondence from Barbara and Gary Saxe, a copy of the appropriate code section pertaining to nonconforming properties, and any other information to help explain the situation at the Saxe's home at 611 Lafayette Street. On December 23, 1997, a fire occurred at 611 Lafayette Street. The Fire Department responded and extinguished the fire and made an estimate of damage to the property of approximately $25,000 at that time,. It is typical for the Fire Department to estimate the valuation of the damage at the time of the incident. The building itself is assessed at a value of $23,000. According to Section 205.04.03.13 and D of the Zoning Code, a lawful nonconforming structure cannot be repaired or reconstructed if the damage of the building is 50% or more of its fair market value. I met with Mr. and Mrs. Saxe on December 24, 1997, and reviewed the Zoning Code information with them and gave them copies of a variance application form..A letter was also sent to Mr. and Mrs. Saxe on January 8, 1998. The lot is nonconforming because it is only 5,000 square feet in size. The minimum lot size for this type of platted lot is 7,500 square feet. Previous to this incident, the City received a variance request in the summer of 1997 to build a new structure on a similar sized lot in the same neighborhood. At that time, the City Attorney advised that granting a variance for this sized lot would establish a precedent, and the City would have to evaluate similar requests in a favorable manner. Because of the number of small sized lots in the City and because the City Council determined that building on this sized lot was not appropriate, the Council denied that variance request. This standard also applies to 611 Lafayette, even though the structure was damaged by a fire. The intent of the nonconforming section of the ordinance is to encourage conformity to the standards in the ordinance. Representative Alice Johnson February 13, 1998 Page 2 In September 1997, the City contacted the homeowners under the auspices of our scattered site acquisition program. The Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA) conducted a systematic assessment of homes in the City and determined those homes that would be eligible under state statute for acquisition. As you know, this is a voluntary program, and the HRA inquired whether Mr. and Mrs. Saxe would be willing to sell their property. At that time, they were not prepared to sell, because there was at least a year remaining on a second loan which they had taken on the property in 1989. Since the fire occurred, City staff has tried to cooperate and respond to the inquiries that the homeowners have made on several occasions. -I believe there may be some confusion as to what the City is required to do in these instances. In a letter received on February 9, 1998, the Saxes state that, "No one from the City, to our knowledge, has ever went through the house to see actual damages and give an estimate of what they feel it would cost to repair to make it structurally sound." On December 23, 1997, the Fire Marshall did, in fact, provide the estimate of the actual damage from the fire. The City's building inspectors are not required to provide an estimate for homeowners. Typically, either the homeowner or the insurance company hires a contractor to provide an estimate of the damage and submits the information to the City. Then, if the estimate and work meets the City Code, the contractor files for a building permit. The letter of February 9, 1998, also indicated that the Saxes were retaining a contractor not associated with "any agencies involved in these discussions". This quote was received from Donahue Construction, Inc., on February 9, 1998. The City building inspector and fire inspector will be inspecting 611 Lafayette Street and will evaluate this proposal to determine if it is adequate to render the property to a livable and safe condition. The Donahue estimate was $11,457, just below 50% of the assessed valuation. The estimate does not include costs for backspraying and sealing of smoke and the fire damage in the interior of the building. This type of work is typically done to eliminate the odor. The estimate also does not include repairs that are needed to the electrical wiring. The result of the Friday afternoon inspection may reveal additional areas which I would be happy to communicate to you next week. The February 9, 1998, letter from Mr. and Mrs. Saxe states that the Fridley Fire Department's total damage estimate is approximately $4,000. This is not true. An estimate of approximately $25,000 was made and communicated to the Saxes on January 8, 1998. Subsequent to this letter, Richard Larson, Deputy Chief Fire Marshall, wrote a memo to the City Manager detailing the cost estimates for the damage and verified the amount of the estimates. Representative Alice Johnson February 13, 1998 Page 3 Further, I recently sent a letter to the Saxes dated February 6, 1998, extending the deadline to have the building demolished by March 2, 1998. 1 also suggested that the HRA would be interested in negotiating for the acquisition of the property. The next step is to render a determination on the most recent estimate submitted by Donahue Construction and to work with the Saxes to see if they would be interested in selling their lot. Please refer to the January 30, 1998, memo from myself and Grant Femelius regarding more background on this issue. The City is trying to work with the homeowners at every available opportunity and will continue to do so. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 572-3590.

My response was that the $18,300 value was based on a saleable property prior to the damage of the fire, which unfortunately left the site unbuildable. He disagreed with my remarks and said he would contact me with a counter offer. I told him I was not optimistic about the HRA offering beyond what is in essence $8,000 ($3,000 plus demolition costs). In the meantime, I have asked Ed Hervin to review the appraisal which was completed for the HRA and to advise me on his approach regarding the land value of the lot. The counter offer, once received, will be discussed with you and then we can determine our next step. The HRA postponed action on the acquisition until some type of an agreement can be reached. 3(12/98 611 Lafayette St. 2 Bill Erickson Kurt Schneider will be contacting Anoka County to find out who the case worker is and arrange a meeting to find out how he/she will approach the case. It will be important for the case worker to understand the history of the case and the necessity to clean the property according to the ordinance. Once we have more information, we will update you with another memo. Monte Maher Ron Julkowski advised me that about 100 square feet of work is remaining. Unfortunately, the cold weather will make it difficult to complete the brickwork immediately since the temperature should be around 38 degrees. Ron has been and will continue to check in on a regular basis with Monte Maher to insure completion.

The previous deadline had been March 2, 1998, as stated in my letter to the Saxes dated February 6, 1998. Also, your clients contacted Councilmember Ann Bolkcom regarding the lot area and lot width of 623 Lafayette Street which the HRA had sold to a private homebuilder to construct a new house. The City vacated 50 feet of the Broad Avenue right-of-way and conveyed that to the HRA who, in tum, also acquired Lot 26, Block C, and combined the two parcels for one tax parcel. The lot area for this parcel totals approximately 11,800 square feet. The lot width is 106 feet. Mrs. Saxe was alleging that the HRA built a home on a substandard lot. I can assure you that this is not the case. Please contact me at your earliest convenience regarding the City's proposal for 611 Lafayette Street as outlined in my letter dated February 25, 1998.

I observed a fire on top of the dryer (basket of clothes) that had extended to the shelves above the dryer location. The fire was extinguished with 1-1 % inch handlines. The fire appeared to start in the rear of the Westinghouse gas dryer (15+ years old) as evidenced by heavy burn and char pattern on rear of dryer. investigated by: Richard H.

I have carefully inspected the damage at the above referenced property, and it is in my opinion that this property is very repairable. There is minimal structural to the siding, wall studs and roof rafters. The building is not compromised structurally. The majority of dollar value for repair is sheetrock, trim, cabinets, cleaning and decorating. There is no need to demolish this house.

The purpose of the inspection was to review the bid submitted by Donahue Construction of Spring Lake Park for $11,457.00. After our inspection and review of the bid, it was determined that the proposed bid did not include key repairs and costs that would bring the structure and the interior to a livable and safe condition. The bid did not include electrical wires. The bid did not include the cost for installing and connecting the water heater and ventilation equipment. The bid did not include the costs for back spraying and sealing the smoke damage. The bid did not include correcting the damage to the metal piping. The bid did not include cleaning the walls and windows from smoke damage. Foam was used to extinguish the fire. It is very important to clean this chemical from all surfaces to eliminate dangerous vapors which emit into the atmosphere. The foam will also corrode metal piping. It is typical to replace the metal piping. The bid did not include these costs. The Saxe's have contacted the Anoka County Mediation Service, who, in turn, contacted Bill Hunt. The City indicated that it is more than happy to meet with them in mediation hearings. Further, as of Thursday, February 19, 1998, the staff person at Anoka County Mediation advised me that the Saxe's have retained an attorney. The attorney has apparently sent me a letter, which I have not seen as of the writing of this memo. Once I have reviewed the attorney's correspondence, I will be contacting Fritz Knaak and will be meeting with you regarding our response and approach on this issue. In the meantime, I may extend the deadline for the demolition of the house beyond the previously established March 2, 1998 deadline.
