Prior Lake, MN 55372-1714 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT JUNE 15, 2009 51 JANE KANSIER, BUILDING AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES DIRECTOR CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT TO ALLOW THE TEMPORARY STORAGE OF A STRUCTURE ON THE PROPERTY AT 16037 TAHINKA PLACE NW Introduction The purpose of this agenda report is to consider a resolution approving an agreement with Gerald and Theresa Schrank to allow the temporary storage of a vacant and unoccupied structure on the property located at 16037 Tahinka Place NW. If the property owner fails to remove the structure within 90 days of the agreement (September 15, 2009), the City will do the necessary work and use the owner's letter of credit to pay the costs. Historv Gerald and Theresa Schrank currently own two adjacent lots in the Bluffs of Northwood Meadows. The original house, built in the 1970's, currently stands at 16046 Tahinka Place NW. The Schrank's sold this lot to a builder, and are working on an arrangement to move the existing house to a permanent location. In the interim, the Schrank's would like to move and temporarily store the vacant structure to the lot next door, at 16037 Tahinka Place NW. They own this lot as well. Just as a matter of interest, the house discussed in this report is the same house referenced in the update on the agenda report dealing with the sale of the City's vacant lot to Habitat for Humanity. Current Circumstances Normally, we require a house to be demolished or moved to a permanent location immediately. However, the staff believes 90 days is a reasonable time to make arrangements to move the house to a more permanent site. The Schranks have submitted a letter of credit for $6,500 to cover the cost of demolishing the structure. The attached agreement outlines the conditions of the temporary storage. The structure and lot must be maintained in a safe condition and in a way that it is not an eyesore in the neighborhood. If the owners fail to move or demolish the house by the deadline, the City has the right to enter the property and demolish the structure. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the attached agreement. C:\DOCUME-1\mjg\LOCALS-1 \Tem~~fUb~~tR~naafRlep8il.a614 7.4245 www.cityofpriorlake.com ISSUES: In the past year, the City has dealt with several complaints about vacant structures. It is not our intent to allow creation of more of these complaints. In this case, there are few established neighbors, and the lot next door will be undergoing construction. The relatively short timeline ensures removal of the structure before winter and before the new house is occupied. The agreement also provides a letter of credit which will allow the City to demolish the structure if necessary and at the owners' expense. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The letter of credit ensures any costs to the City will be recovered, ALTERNATIVES: 1. Adopt the attached resolution approving the agreement to allow the temporary storage of a vacant and unoccupied structure on the property located at 16037 Tahinka Place NW. 2. Other action as directed by the Council. RECOMMENDED A motion and second adopting a resolution approving the agreement allow the MOTION: temporary storage of a vacant and unoccupied structure on the property located at 16037 Tahinka Place NW.
