Re: Parking on Yard Area ® 14508 57th St. N., Oak Park Heights, MN 55082
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Holmes:
I am writing with regard to a vehicle that has been intermittently parked upon the lawn area of your
home. Typically, the vehicle is found parked to the rear yard area, alongside the shed. City Ordinance
regulations direct that motor vehicles, boats, trailers and similar are to be parked upon the driveway,
approved parking pad or within the garage. Jessica and I discussed this Ordinance earlier this year,
when I visited her at the house on another matter.
City Ordinance 401.15 F.4. h.13, requires that areas intended for parking use be of a hard surface (see
below). This would include areas for parking/exterior storage of trailers.
401.15.F.4.h.13 — Surfacing. All areas intended to be utilized for parking space and
driveways shall be hard surfaced with materials suitable to control dust and drainage. Plans
for surfacing and drainage of driveways and stalls for five (5) or more vehicles shall be
submitted to the City Engineer for review and the final drainage plan shall be subject to
written approval.
Hard surface is considered to be that of asphalt, concrete, cobblestone, paving block or crushed rock
that meets minimum Class 5 materials and which has a minimum base depth of 4 inches.
This letter directs that the vehicle be moved from the yard area and properly parked upon the driveway
or within the garage no later than January 7, 2021. The vehicle shall not be placed upon the lawn area at
any time. A compliance check will be made to verify compliance.
Your prompt attention is required. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
PLANNING & CODE ENFORCEMENT

I have sent a letter to Jessica and Thomas Homes requesting the vehicle's removal from the lawn area
(see enclosed). However, as the property owner, you are responsible for ensuring that City Ordinance

no later than January 7, 2021. The vehicle shall not be placed upon the lawn area at any time.
Your prompt attention is required. Please contact me if you have any questions.
