BEG AT PT 30 FT OF STAKE Project Narrative This application is for rezoning from Industrial to R1 I purchased this home on 1/28/88 at the time it was zoned residential. (This was my first and only home, life was good, living the American Dream) Life takes a wrong turn. On 12/17/2003 I have a house fire. (smoke, water, structural and personal property damage, no personal injury) While this is truly a emotional and financial tragedy, we must pickup the pieces and move on, either repair, rebuild or replace the home. In February, I enlisted services of John Kaimon architect to achieve that goal. In March, 1 asked Jim Butler (building official from Oak Park Heights) to inspect the home. On March 31, 2004, I received the attached letter from the City. (The second emotional and financial tragedy) 1 On April 27, 2004, !sent the enclosed letter to Mayor Beaudet. This brings us to May, 2004, I'm now asking the City to please, let me pickup the pieces, allow me to get on with my life, undo a zoning wrong and return my property to R1 residential. A note to all, who read this application. Think about your home and property, it's not always someone else, put yourself in my shoes. 2 City of Oak Park Heights 14168 Oak Park Blvd N.• Box 2007 • Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 • (651) 439 -4439 • Fax 439 -0574 March 31, 2004 Mr. Larry Philips 5272 Stagecoach Trail, N. Oak Park Heights, MN 5082 CERTIFIED MAIL - RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Re: Non - conforming use fire damage calculation Subject Address: 5272 Stagecoach Trail, N. (03.029.20.31.0005) Dear Mr. Phillips: City Ordinance directs that non - conforming structures destroyed beyond 50% of their Fair Market Value (FMV) as determined by the City, must be removed. Your property at 5272 Stagecoach is a single family residential dwelling located within an area zoned industrial (1) and is considered to be non - conforming. The Washington County Assessor's Office states that your ASSESSED VALUES are $127,200 for the dwelling structure and $75,000 for the land. You had indicated that the estimated cost to restore your property to a pre -fire condition is $179,000; considerably more than 50% of your ASSESSED VALUE totaling $63,600. ($127,200 X .50 $63,600) Granted, the ASSESSED VALUE is not necessarily the Fair Market Value, but if 20% is added to the ASSESSED VALUE, to better estimate a Fair Market Value, the total for reconstruction of $179,000 would still be greater than 50% of the ASSESSED VALUE plus 20 %. [.50 X ($127,200 X 1.20) = $76,320] At this time, 1 am informing you that per City Ordinance 401.15. A.7 the dwelling at this property address may not be reconstructed as it is non - conforming to the property's zoning and the damage to the structure is in excess of 50% of the FMV. Additionally, the structure must be removed from the property. You are invited to contact us to discuss this matter further and provide any additional information that you believe would be helpful to the determination of the status of Y our structure under the City Code. We would ask that you do so promptly. Unless a different determination is made by the City of Oak Park Heights, the structure must be demolished and any existing wells, tanks, etc. closed /capped off. Said demolition will require a permit from the City of Oak Park Heights and must be completed no later than Friday, July 1, 2004. At this time, 1 am advising you that the structure is to be considered hazardous. Please secure the building to prevent unauthorized entry. If you have any questions regarding this information, kindly contact me. Jim Butt , Building Official April 27,2004 Mayor David Beaudet Box 2007 Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 Dear Mayor Beaudet: I have received a letter from the City dated March 31, 2004 regarding the future use of my property. It indicates that the fire destroyed more than 50% of the fair market value of my home and cannot be rebuilt since this property is zoned industrial. The numbers used to calculate the value of my home and the reconstruction costs are not accurate. I have contacted an appraiser to review the fair market value of my home prior to the fire and getting cost estimates to repair the damage. The value of my home not totally destroyed by the fire has a negative value, according to your calculations. The foundation is sound as are the first floor outside walls, etc. I look forward to resolving the issue of my home and at this time will not be able to comply with your July 1, 2004 demolition date. I believe that my home is less than 50% destroyed and, therefore can be rebuilt. In the event that I cannot rebuild or it's economically not viable to rebuild my home under the current zoning, what can I do with a non - conforming lot (because of the topography) that's zoned industrial? Is the city going to deprive me of all beneficial use of it? I'm I to loose all or nearly all of the value of the property? Please advise me as to what the City suggests as a resolution to this problem.
