6143 Osgood Ave. N., Oak Park Heights, MN 55082
Dear Daniel &Ashley:
On July 8, 2021 you were mailed a copy of the Conditional Use Permit granted for your property
use and were requested to:
1. Remove the storage container that is in place at the rear of your lot, alongside the existing
garage structure:
2. Remove all exterior stored material and equipment, with the exception of the bucket truck;
and
3. Provide a trash enclosure plan for the two trash containers on site.
The July 8th request asked that the above items be attended to prior to August 9th. Ashley reached
out on July 13th as to the communication, noting business growth and inquired as to the
acceptability of retaining the container and screening it with a fence. City Administrator Johnson
followed upon on July 14th, advising that City Ordinance does not allow such an accessory
structure with or without the fence and allowed for an extended compliance date to August 31St
August 2nd,Ashley communicated working on having the container removed by the end of August
and was provided information with regard to contractor and permitting requirements.
August 10th, Ashley provided an update as to activity at the site and exchanged communication
with regard to the garage. City Administrator Johnson inquired as to the size of the existing garage
and advised her that a site plan, showing the location on the property, relative to the property line
was needed, and that that it should show the distances to scale. He provided an aerial map for use,
noting that the aerial map was not a true survey.
August 30th, Ashley emailed with an update as to things still being in the works, with a note
included in the email to Dan, asking for the information City Administrator Johnson noted being
needed on August 10th and asked that it be provided by Thursday of that week.
Tree City U.S.A.
As of today, the site remains non-compliant and follow through has not been made.
This letter serves as the City's final request to the compliance as requested on July 8, 2021 and
noted in items 1 through 3 above.
Compliance shall be fully addressed no later than Friday,November 5th, 2021.
Failure to do so will result in the matter being directed to the City Attorney for further review
including the possibility of revocation on the CUP issue to your site.
Additionally, in event of failure to comply with the items above, as requested, the City may also
pursue the remedy of the items under its own forces and as such will recover all such costs of doing
so under a special assessment as outlined in City Ordinance 1109.07, plus all administrative fees.
There will be no issuance of building permits or consideration of plan review for this site unless
and until such time, it is first brought into compliance. A site review shall be made promptly after
November 5, 2021.
Please contact myself or City Administrator Johnson immediately with any questions.
Sincerely,
PLANNING & CODE ENFORCEMENT
