Re: Plants-Vegetation @ 15430 58th St.N.,Oak Park Heights,MN
Dear Liz:
The plants and other vegetation at the corner of 58th St.N.and Penrose Ave.N.have grown to a point that
they are creating a visual obstruction to vehicular traffic at the four-way stop in that location.
City Nuisance Ordinance 1109 defines a public nuisance as a"thing,act,or use of property which shall annoy,
injure,or endanger the health,safety,comfort or repose of the public." My observations of the impaired
visibility at the stop signs on 58th and Penrose suggest that a safety hazard exist as a result of the vegetation
density and height at that corner.A copy of this ordinance has been enclosed for your review and use.
To address the above,please trim the plantings and other vegetation back so that clear traffic site lines are
created to ensure safe vehicular and pedestrian travel at the corner of 58th St. N. and Penrose Ave. N.
Compliance shall be made no later than Monday,June 19th. Your continued maintenance to prevent
reoccurrence of this nuisance is appreciated.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have regarding this request.Your prompt attention
is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Ju(� ultman
