RE: Yard Parking
Dear Ms. Taves,
There have been numerous vehicles,some in stage of repair at time parked alongside of the garage upon the
driveway and into the yard area. Please be advised that City Ordinance 401.15 F.4. h.13, requires all vehicles,
including trailers to be parked upon a hard surface(see below).
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 base depth of 4 inches minimum. If you would please relocate this
vehicle to your driveway or submit a complete plan for an expansion of your current off-street parking areas.
It is unclear whether or not the vehicles are operable and/or if their registration is current. Inoperable vehicles may
not be stored outside and must be stored within a garage or removed from the City per City Ordinance 401.15 F.7
(see below).
401.15.F.7— Use of Required Area. Required accessory off-street parking spaces in any district
shall not be utilized for open storage, sale or rental of good, repair work, storage of inoperable
vehicles and/or storage of snow.
Please remove all vehicles parked upon the yard area and all inoperable vehicles and place them to the
driveway or to the interior of your garage no later than Tuesday,August 17,2021.
Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for your prompt attention.
Sincerely, ,
J i: Hultman
