I have printed off the Construction Management Plan. Something that is not known to most homeowners in Edina is that the burden of monitoring whether a teardown builder is following the 'rules' of the Management Plan is up to the neighbors. Not all builders are bad apples, but our neighborhood's experience in the Pamela Park neighborhood has been with a really rotten apple (who claims to have been nominated as Builder of the Year, no less!) How were we negatively impacted? His first house in our neighborhood: When the original house was removed, an 8' deep basement with foundation walls still intact was left dangerously unfenced for over a week, over Halloween (look out, trick-or-treaters!) A call to the City after 5 days of this condition resulted in a sloppy fence 4 days later. The builder was allowed by the planning department to place the house more than 8' too close to the street. The builder did nothing but ignore complaints, sued the city to continue building when he got a stop work order, and blamed the surveyor for putting it there; a bogus claim. The house now sits imposing completely on the neighbors next door, whose front yard is overlooked by the new house from front to back. His workers consistently started work before 7:00 (someone even showed up at 4:30 am once), and another crew was working at 10:30 pm Saturday night. Calls to the police were not helpful. It took extra calls to the city to get this builder to properly repair the poorly patched swath where new sewer and water connections were done. Unfortunately, this builder basically thumbed his nose at neighbors and city authority. With the second house on our block which he tore down in a lead and asbestos filled cloud of dust, he has behaved somewhat better, but the dumpster and porta-potty has been sitting too close to the street all through construction. He now has a third house soon to be torn down. What next? With another house he built that backs up to Pamela Park, he took the liberty of running equipment across park property and even clearing out trees on park property to get a better view for the future home owners. I don't know if contacting the Parks Dept. had any affect. Many people don't feel comfortable with making a call to the Planning and Inspections Department, or the police when they see blatant violations of this sort. Calls to this builder went nowhere. Perhaps the city needs an officer in the police department, working with planning to monitor runaway builders of this sort. We have an officer specifically dealing with dog issues. Why not have the same for rogue builders? It is wrong for neighbors to have to do this unpleasant job, when they simply want to have a peaceful neighborhood and go about their daily lives.
