Re: Yard Clean Up Compliance Request
Dear Wayne & Lynne:
I've visited with Wayne as to the yard maintenance and clean up needed at the property
located at 15105 63rd St. N.
Presently the yard in violation of City Nuisance Ordinance 1109 as it relates to noxious weeds
and grasses, and accumulations of debris. Additionally, there are two vehicles that have
remained on site which need to comply with City Ordinance in that they be operable,
registered with current tabs and be placed upon the parking area at the property.
At my request,the City Arborist has visited the property, to verify the presence of weeds
versus plant and has found that there is largely weeds with a few plants among them. The
grass has largely remained long and unattended until recently when path areas were cut.
The weeds need to be fully removed from the yard and the yard mowed in full.All
vegetation and earth that has been piled against the adjacent neighbors fencing is to
be removed. Once done this needs to be maintained regularly.
Since the removal of the house at the property there has been a tent regularly at the site and
picnic visiting activity. The tent has not been kept in good condition and food and beverage
items have not been cleaned up from the property.
The tent and all items to the yard, including coolers,food, beverage cans and other
debris are to be collected from the property and removed. At no such time is
transient residency in a tent permitted at the property and items used while visiting
the site are to be cleaned up from the site prior to leaving the site at the time of visit.

There are two vehicles at the property. Per my conversation with Wayne, one is his and the
other belongs to a friend. He did indicate that the vehicle belonging to the friend was not
operable and was asked to contact the friend to remove it from the property. Storage upon
the property is not permitted. Vehicles belonging to the property owner may be on site, as
long as they are upon the driveway, operable and currently registered
> vehicles that are not owned bythe owner are to be removed. Vehicles owned
Any vehic e by
