Box 10904 White Bear Lake, MN 55110 Re: Roof Collapse @ 5845 Stagecoach Trail, N., Oak Park Heights, MN Dear Mr. Nelson: A large portion of the roof has collapsed at your shop, located at 5845 Stagecoach Trail N., Oak Park Heights, MN 55082. The collapse appears to be approximately one-half of the rear garage area. The back wall is visibly bowed. This condition presents a safety hazard to human occupancy and is deemed unsafe for human occupancy and is a public nuisance per 2015 Minnesota State Building Code Section 1300.0180 Unsafe Buildings and Structures.A copy of this Code section is enclosed. The building shall be immediately vacated and remain so, until such time that the public nuisance is abated. Abatement may be accomplished through repair of the roof& structure or demolition of the structure. While it is likely that you are already taking the steps to abate the situation, this letter serves as the City's Order that the building be vacated immediately and that the public nuisance of its unsafe condition be undertaken as soon as possible, but no later than Tuesday, April 8, 2019. A city licensed contractor is required to perform the building repair or demolish it. A work permit shall be required. Structural engineering for repair of the wall shall be required and provided with the work permit application. Regardless of your plan for abatement, a meeting to discuss options is with merit. Please contact me to set this up, upon your receipt of this letter. Your prompt attention is appreciated. •P.
