RESOLUTION NO. 70 -40
RESOLUTION DECLARING THOSE CERTAIN BUILDINGS LOCATED AT
5839 MAJOR AVENUE NORTH, BROOKLYN CENTER, MINNESOTA,
DILAPIDATED BUILDINGS AND ORDERING THEM TO BE RE MOVED
WHEREAS, Frank P. McGlinchy (now deceased) is the record owner
of the property located at 5839 Major Avenue North, Brooklyn Center, Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, the said property has been occupied by Frank P. McGlinchy
as his homestead until his recent demise; and
WHEREAS, the said property can best be described as an extremely old
farmstead consisting of a two story framehouse, a barn and some sheds and
outbuildings; and
WHEREAS, the land acquisition for the opening of County Road 10 west
of Major Avenue and the sale of most of the farmland for apartment house con-
struction has reduced the yard setbacks and the land has been rezoned for
multiple dwellings thereby creating a non conforming use of the land; and
WHEREAS, the house and the accessory buildings are in such a state
of disrepair that they constitute a public nuisance and a hazard to the general
welfare; and
WHEREAS, inspection by the Building Inspector indicates that restoration
or rehabilitation of the building is neither feasible or practical:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Albert P. McGlinchy,
administrator for the estate of Frank P. McGlinchy, shall be ordered to raze
and remove the wooden structures located at 5839 Major Avenue North. All
debris shall be removed from the premises with no open burning permitted. The
basement shall be filled to the surrounding ground level and the property shall
be left in a clean, hazard free condition. This action is being taken pursuant
to Minnesota Statutes Sections 463.15 463.26 on the grounds that said buildings
are hazardous buildings within the meaning of that statute.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Albert P. McGlinchy, his heirs or
assigns, must comply with this order within twenty (20) days from the date
of service upon him or within twenty (20) days file an answer thereto, otherwise
a motion for summary enforcement of this order will be taken by the City of
Brooklyn Center in the Hennepin County District Court.
