Dear Ms. Ramsay:
Ttrank you for your recent letter and continued concern for the visual appearance, health
and safety of Springfield. In response to. the required sewer capping procedure at 848
Water Street (our records and permits show the address as 848 Water Street; your letter
states 458 Water Street, but I believe we are referring to-Ef,-e same property), these
proceduiE are not generally expensive.
As is required with aLl demolished structures that have been connected to the sanitary
sewer, the private sewer lateral nust be capped at the property line in order to satisfy
health and safety requirements. Ttris is a natter of Locating the private sewer lateral
where it enters the property, exposing the lateral, cutting off the lateral at this
point and capping it. Caps made specifically for this purpose are available and usually
cost under $1S.OO. It is not necessary to dig up any of the sewer lines either on your
property or in the street.
We apologize for any confusion or Lack of communication which nay have led you to believe
that the required sewer capping is cost prohibitive. Please 1et us know when you will be
able to conplete the capping or if you have further questions about the procedure, please
contact myself or Denny Bordeaux, the City Plumbing Inspector, at the Public Works Depart-
ment,726-3753.
Sincerely ,

Springfield, or 97477
To Whom it may concerns
Over the period of the last 15 years, we have pr:rchased severalproperties in the Spr:irgfield area. Irtrst had rental units thatyielded barely erough rent to cover the maintenance on theproperties, and to keep property taxes current. We had strict
property maintenance contracts with all of our tenent-s, and tookpride in the appearance of ttre properties ttrat we owned.
Property: 175 "S" St., Springfield
Fact: When purchased it contained I rental duplex and 1 rentaltrailer. Both units had been on the property for many years.
The remairder of ttre property was a horse pasture with a gnall
barn, and was on a yearly lease.
Problem: The City of Sprirgfield forced removal of ttre trailer rental,
saying that it was rpt zoned for that use. this resulted in ttreloss of $150 per month. ltre fact that the unit was permitted
to remain there for years previously, and was even allor.rcd to
have a permenant bedroom attached to t}e side, was ignored.
We were tlen forced to pay property taxes on the ur:it for 6
months past the time of the removal.
IProblem: ttre City of Springfield rncrraed the pasture in June r*ri1e ttre
tenent had his horse off ttre property so that ttre grass courdget a head start on growttr for the summer months. Ttre
weather turned very hot, the pasture dried up and inmediately
came back in with a very heavy infestation of bnsy, renderirgit unusabre. we lost the pasture 1ease, and the $25 per month.
Problem: We demolished the tro houses on the corner of nS, and 2nd,
as neighborhood kids had entered them ard totally demolished
the interiors just before we pr-rrchased t}e property. Ttre houuses
could not be lived in ard hrere a hazard. 'Rsnovar costs rirerewell over $1000. We rrere then forced to pay city and county
taxes for an additional 9 months on the trrrc houses, witJr thevalue being stated as beirg in o<cess of $40.000.
Problem: Neighbors have now moved many vehicles onto ttre property
sites WITHOIIT OUR PERIIISSION, and ue have no rpney to fight
the legaI problems to force them to vacate our property. Ttrecity, r*ro did rrot approve of our maintained use of the property,
does not seem to have any objection to norrmaintained use.
Where the rental trailer was sitting, with a fenced and rpwed
laum and garden, there is now parked 3 snowmobiles, 2 utility
a
trailers, I rrooden strd, I jeep, 1 W, 1 vacation trailer
house, I pickrp, and I metal rack. Ttre neighbors across the
street also have anotler similar mess, drich includes jacked-
up cars and piles of debris. The entire area has deteriorated
badly since the time we had to remove the rental.
Apparently the code in Sprirgfield only acts against inccrne
properties.
Fact: Had roe been permitted to save our rental unit, roe uould have
continued to have the property maintained, and the taxes unuld
be current instead of being three years deliquent.
Property: 458 Water Street , Springfield
Fact: Purchased as a rental dwelling, we rented and mainLained theunit until we felt that it no'lorger was livable. We then tookaction to rernove the house and shed in the back of the property
since both were constantly beirg entered, and the property was
beginnirg to be used as a dunping site. We considered it to be
a hazard. Our problems with ttre city started l*ren we asked forthe required permit to rernove the structure. (It appears that
ttre city upuld rather we had left the structure standing even
though it was unsightly and unsafe). Due to a severe econqnic
problem and injuries, rrre roere forced to take much longer ttrananticipated to complete t}te job.
Problem: Ttre City of Springfield is now denranding expensive sewercut-off procedures, for ntrich we have no money. We are verywilling to seal off the sewer opening at ground levelr andfuI1y understard the necessity for doing so. Ground tests
show ttrat ttle line itself is intact and is not leaking. Right
now our most serious economic need is to come up witLr, ttre
money for the delinquent taxes by }tovember. The property iscurrently not r.lorth the amount of money owed against it, and to
have to invest mcre money into diggirg up the sewer just
because we made an effort to clean up ttre property seems unfair.
Question: ltry have we been singled out to be harrassed by ttre city?
Our properties are constantly being singled out as targeLs
while properties around us go ur:rmaintained. An example is the
16 and 17 hundred block of "Q" street. These are readilyvisible properties frorn the highwayr oD a well traveled businessstreet. Yet they pose visual ard health or safety problans
wtrich have gone untouched for all dre years that we have been
harrassed on our properties that we have been endevouring
to maintain.
We are gradually catching up on financial problems that uaere bror:ght
about by ttre economic depression that hit Sprirgfield. We have many
repairs, bancroft debts, and back taxes ttrat r,re are gradually payingoff. The bancroft debt was the nnst important obligation on our list,
and your own records will show that we have made major gains inthat area. We are noh, current in the payments of that obligation for
the first time in many, many nrcnths. Ihe next priority on our list
must be the taxes wtrich are delinquent. We have no choice but to makethat number one on our 1ist. Because of that necessity, and thedesire to keep bancroft payments current from now on, we simply
cannot make other major expensive repairs to properties at this time.
That means that rde cannot dig up the sewer lines at eitier water st,or at 860 Kel1y St. We hope to be able to make these repairs within
the next year if the economy does not take a turn for the worse
again, but at the present time it is impossible.
Sincerely,
Cathy Ramsay

RE: Demolition Permit #831963
Dear Ms. Ramsay:
A recent inspection of the property located at 848 Water Street, Springfield,
Oregon has fotmd that the debris and used naterials which existed as a result
of the demolition of the structure on the property have been removed as re-
quired by Section 202 of the Springfield Housing Code. Thank you for your
attention to this matter.
However, the structure was connected to the sanitary sewer, but the sewer has
not yet been capped at the property line as'required by Section I-11 of the
Pltrmbing Specialty Code (copy attached). In order to prevent storrn water
from entering the sanitary sewer and/or sewage fron flot+ing onto the property,
it is important that the sewer be capped rv-ithin the next thirty days. A fol-
low up inspection will be conducted after the thirty day time period has
expired. As soon as you have capped the sewer, the demolition can be approved
and the permit finaled.
Please direct inquiries to the Springfield Building Safety Division at 726-3753.

Informat'ion on Demolition at 848 Water Street
Attached are two compliance letters wh'ich have been sent to Cathy Ramsay,
owner of the property at the above referenced address. We anticipate that
this case may be brought to your attention. We've had difficulty with
getting the property owner to voluntari'ly remove debris remaining from the
demoljtion of a substandard house on this property.
Qur usual abatement procedure js to issue one compljance letter and, if
that elic'its no response, to refer the case to the City Attorney's 0ffice.
In reality, this case has been referred to the City Attorney's 0ffice; how-
ever instead of that office's usual compliance letter, 1egal staff recom-
mended the attached letter first be sent from our office. If you require
further informat'ion or clarification, please let us know.

Dear Ms. Ramsay:
As part of our annual review of pending files, the premises at 848 Water
Strlet were inspected. The results of our inspection arb as follows:
1. The 1ot sti1I contains substantial amounts of debris and building
materials.
2. Part of the chinney remains standing.
3. The sanitary sewer has not yet been capped at the property line.
Our chronological file indicates the following:
1. A denolition permit was issued in August of 1983.
2. The house was demolished in March/ApriL, 1984.
3. 0n April 23, 1984, you were sent a letter from this office (copy
attaahed), requesting renoval of the debris fron the property and
a capping of the sanitarY sewer.
4. 0n April 28, 1984, you responded to that letter in part informing us
as follows:
rrWhen the weather dries so the backhoe doesntt disappear and when we
have $200.00 to pay for it we will finish the job".
Based on the assurances that you gave us on April 28, 1984, we turned our
attention to other code violations existing in the City of Springfield. A
recent inspection of the property indicates that there has not been any work
done on the property since the April 28, 1984 date.
