(File No. J2602A, ## Assessment No. 268503) ## Sponsors: ## Noecker Referred to the City Council due back on 9/2/2026 11:00 a.m. Hearings ## Summary & Vehicle Abatement Orders 2 ## RLH SAO 26-54 Appeal of Jane Foster to a Summary Abatement Order at 1312 SCHEFFER AVENUE. (Public hearing continued to August 5, 2026) ## Sponsors: ## Jost Continue CPH to August 5, 2026 (July 28 LH). Recommendation forthcoming. Voicemail for Jane Foster at 11:17 am: this is Marcia Moermond from St. Paul City Council calling you about 1312 Scheffer and your work plan. Feeling really well about the thought you put into it.

Moermond: there is no tall grass and weeds note in the order, so that is an FYI. This talks about the brush pile, rock pile, food pile, miscellaneous debris. You said the rock pile is well under way to being addressed. I’m inclined to say that has been abated, understanding you’ll be continuing to work on it so it isn’t a trip hazard, is that fair? Puchala: Do you have the most recent photos I sent? The rock pile is gone. Moermond: yes, and converted to a walkway, it just looks like there’s a lot of space between the stones so a foot at a bad angle could be an ankle breaker. As time goes on you’d be doing it so it wouldn’…
