Re: 14269 57th Street N., Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 -Yard Maintenance
Dear Mr. &Mrs. Huebscher:
Per our phone conversation of today, we will meet at City Hall this Thursday, September 14, 2017 at
9:30 a.m. to discuss the condition of the yard and it's up-keep in such that it continues to remain in
state of violation of City Nuisance Ordinance 1109 and in need of mowing, weed control and clean up.
We have communicated with you and the property resident over the past couple of years as to the need
for regular maintenance, etc. Despite attempts to have these matters resolved,they continue. As noted
and discussed in June and July of this year,the rear yard is overgrown with grass, weeds and other
accumulations. These weeds are encroaching upon the lawns of the adjacent properties.
This letter serves as the City's final notice and request that you:
1. Remove weeds and overgrowth from gardens and all yard areas;
2. Remove grass &weeds under decks and all yard equipment; and
3. Clean up/Remove items stored to the front,rear and side of the house.
The above items shall be attended to in full no later than Tuesday, September 26, 2017. City Staff will
conduct a compliance visit after September 26th to verify that the maintenance has been completed
and that compliance to the above request has been met. If compliance is not found,the matter shall be
forwarded to the Oak Park Heights Police Department and/or City Prosecutor for citation,thereafter
the City may pursue the necessary steps to abate the condition and potentially complete the work
needed and assess such costs to the property and its owner.
Please be prepared to present a solid plan for the clean-up and up keep of this property when we meet
Thursday. Your attention is critical.
Sincerely,
f! G & CODE ENFORCEMENT
