Approval of Resolution Ordering the Abatement of Conditions Creating a Nuisance and a Hazardous Property Existing at 13425 and 13429 Robert Trail South and 13480 and 13510 Dodd Boulevard Community Development Director Lindquist gave an overview of the topic at hand. While the site owner has started clean-up of the site which has had demolition activity, staff recommends approving the motion and give staff the ability to serve notice to the property owner should the clean-up not continue on track. Adjoining neighbors to the site have commented on the hazardous conditions on the site. The property owner wishes to maintain the barn for some time, but staff notes that the barn is currently unsafe. Council member Nelson inquired about the communication that staff has had up to this point. Ms. Lindquist stated she has met with the developer twice in person, the Building Official had sent a couple of emails and a letter, and has issued an extension of an earlier deadline. Council member DeBettignies asked about the verbal discussion and if it was followed up with a letter. She stated it was not. Council member Demuth asked about the resolution and if it would need to be modified if the barn were to just be secured. City Attorney Tietjen explained the process of approving the resolution and making agreements with the property owner for securing the barn and silo. ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING PROCEEDINGS OCTOBER 4TH, 2016 Mayor Droste stated he had had two phone calls from residents with concerns and explained that, while people should not be trespassing, it is necessary to create a safer environment in case anyone does go on the property. Ms. Lindquist explained ways to make the property more safe. Council member Demuth inquired how the owner could secure the barn structure. Ms. Lindquist explained they could fence it or put plywood over doors and windows, and the ladder on the silo would need to be cut off. Council member DeBettignies asked about the 20 day window to complete the clean-up. City Attorney Tietjen explained that the 20 day window does not start until the order is actually served on the property owner. Motion by Nelson. Second by Demuth. Motion to adopt a Resolution Ordering the Abatement of Conditions Creating a Nuisance and a hazardous Property existing at 13425 and 13429 Robert Trail South and 13480 and 13510 Dodd Boulevard in the City of Rosemount.

City Hall - Central Park Sign Parks and Recreation Director Schultz gave an overview of the proposed Central Park Sign on 145th Street in front of City Hall and Central Park. The proposed sign would be a “reader board”, similar to that at the Steeple Center. Staff received three quotes; the lowest bid was from Think Digital for $36,739. After approval, staff and Council still need to finalize the exact location of the sign and the graphics at the top of the sign. Council member Weisensel inquired about a plan location. Mr. Schultz explained that there isn’t one just yet, as staff would like input from the sign company to examine sight lines and obtain their recommendation of where that sign should be located. Council member DeBettignies asked if the proposed screen resolution would be optimal for the site. Mr. Schultz stated that is what staff believes. Motion by Weisensel. Second by DeBettignies.
