Site Maintenance Compliance Request
Dear Mr. Isaccson:
I was over to the retail center this past week and noted a number of items in violation of City Nuisance
Ordinance 1109,that require your immediate attention.
The City has communicated with you on several occasions as most of the items noted below and at this time
does request your immediate attention to the following:
• Patch the holes at the building parapet where signs have been removed, most
noticeable at Lace Salon and a few at Keep it Growing; however,ensure the entire ,,.!'ifrh} .,
facade is patched.

• Remove signs from the multi-tenant sign for those businesses that are no longer in PI �. on)
operation at the retail center and replaced them with blanks. These should be the
same as the rest of the sign in background color. We did discuss your getting blanks LL s`

when the sign was updated for this purpose. NAIL ESR US

• The space vacated by former tenant Lace Salon needs to be
cleaned up so that it is tidy in appearance through glass from exterior, including
hanging wiring.Also,the area beneath the former signage on the face of the
building is dirty and needs to be cleaned.
• Review the rear of the retail center property to ensure that all trash containers,
etc.are fully screened within appropriate trash enclosures.
• The asphalt continues to remain in poor and deteriorated condition throughout the retail center. This
needs to be patched or replaced so that it is safe for vehicle traffic.
• Have a handrail installed to each side of the stairway located to the eastern end of the sidewalk.
• The grass needs mowing and weed treatment. Weeds and other vegetation need to be trimmed back
and treated. Presently the West access has vegetation that obstructs clear traffic visibility when
exiting/entering. r

something you desire, please contact me immediately.
Regardless, your prompt attention is requested tohave compliance addressed no later than Friday, October
20. 2017. A site check shall be made after this time to verify the status of compliance. Continued failure to
address these issues will result in additional enforcement actions by the City.
