Re: Wood Storage/Yard Parking Nuisance Abatement&Home Occupation Permit
Dear Mr.Patrin-King:
We have been in communication with you as to your home-based tree service business and stored woodpile at
your residence. You were in this past June and spoke to City Administrator Johnson and I as to both of the above.
At that time,you stated that you would not be adding any additional wood to the pile stored at the front of your
home and that you had no issue with relocating the wood pile to behind the privacy fence,located tot the front
of your home,as you were going to burn such wood. Wood has obviously been added to the pile and it has not
yet been relocated. Additionally,there has been a trailer and other equipment parked upon your yard area.
The purpose of this letter is to address the ongoing violation of City Ordinance 401.15.13 with regard to placement
of stored firewood,1109.I.with regard to accumulations of materials and 401.15.8.14 and F with regard to off-
street parking and exterior storage(ordinance copies enclosed),and to request Code compliance as follows:
(1) All wood is to be relocated from the front yard to a side yard behind the fence at the front
of the house or to the rear yard of the house and is to be neatly stacked;and
(2) All equipment and/or trailers shall be placed upon a parking pad,driveway or within a garage. In
no case,shall they be placed upon the grass or lawn area.
(3) Please contact me so we can schedule a meeting to discuss what this home-based operation you
appear to be engaging in does include.It may or may not be permissible in this residential
neighborhood,but is something we need to discuss in more detail.
Compliance as above requested shall be made in full no later than Friday,December 22,2017,after which time
a compliance check shall be conducted. Once we discuss your operations Home Occupation Permit the City can
consider a possible home-based business operation.
If you need assistance or have questions,please contact me immediately. Your prompt attention is required.
incerely,
