Since that time Mr. Rohlfhas been working with the <br />owners of the property to initially secure the structure to help eliminate health and safety <br />concerns to the public. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />On March 25, 1999, the Police Department did confirm that the house was secured. <br />However, on April 15th Mr. Rohlf talked to the property owners regarding having <br />someone occupy the structure or tear it down, being this building has been vacant in <br />excess of 12 years. The property owner was given a deadline of June 1, 1999 to let staff <br />know of the actions he would be taking. Since that time we have not heard from the <br />property owner. Therefore, at this time I am requesting Mayor and City Council approval <br />to proceed with declaring this issue a public nuisance and be abated by demolition or <br />removal in accordance with the procedures specified in the 1997 version for abatement of <br />dangerous buildings. This procedure will require the assistance ofthe city attorney. I am <br />hopeful, however, that this procedure will be completed in a timely manor. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at 441-4903. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />s: \b&z\clift\bab9-9 .doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
