Subject: RE: City of Oak Park Heights-- Fury Motors IUP for 14702 60th Street
Mr. Sandstrom:
Thank you for the correspondence. Per instructions from Jim Leonard, I have contacted a crew that will pressure wash
the exterior and then begin patching the spalled areas of the masonry. I am informed this crew will start working on
Monday after completing their current project. If they complete the other project early, the crew will begin repairs at
14702 60th Street later this week.
After the building is patched a new coat of paint will be applied.
My contact information is below. During this pandemic, my office phone is not being answered. Please use my cell
phone listed below should you need to call.
Sincerely.
David Phillips

Subject: City of Oak Park Heights-- Fury Motors IUP for 14702 60th Street
Dear Jim and David:
I write to you as the City Attorney for the City of Oak Park Heights. As you both know, back on February 25, 2020,the
City Council approved an Interim Use Permit for your site at 14702 60''' Street North. That IUP approval contained
various conditions and stipulations regarding a moderate level of clean-up, repair, and general improvement to the
appearance and state of the property and building. A copy of the finalized and signed IUP permit document is attached
for your reference. The remediation work directed by the City are generally low-to-moderate cost and effort for Fury's
benefit given the interim nature of the intended use, but work is indeed important to complete because the City expects its
businesses and property owners to respect their neighbors and neighborhood property values by keeping up the condition
of property.
The original IUP approval required issues on your site to be resolved by June 1, 2020, and the City Staff later granted you
a reasonable extension out to July 1, 2020 to complete the work. At this time, the July IS'deadline is rapidly approaching
with Fury having completed only a fraction of the remediation and improvement work, with a majority of the issues yet to
be completed. City Staff have reminded you of this issue many times to no avail.
Please be advised that my office is apprised of the situation and if these issues remain unresolved beyond July Is', then the
City Staff will request and recommend approval from the City Council to revoke your IUP and proceed with formal code
enforcement action. Please get into compliance with your IUP as soon as possible to ensure we do not have to take these
next steps.
