RE: Fence Line Repair @ 58th Street (rear yard fence line)
Hi Linh:
I reached out to you via email June 6th and appreciate your responding so quickly on the 7th with
regard to working out of town and difficulty finding a matching panel through the fence company.
Per my original communication and follow up on June 7th, while you are securing the panel and
arranging for its repair, you are required to pick up the damaged materials and remove them from
the yard area at 58th St. N.
As mentioned, in my June 7th email, the Northridge Exterior, who installed the fence in 2004, appears
to no longer be in business or licensed by the MN Dept. of Labor & Industry.
Several contractors have worked on fence projects within the City this past year. Perhaps one of
them may be able to assist you.
Cyclone Fence @ 612.532.3095
Midwest Fence @ 651 .451.2221
Town & Country Fence @ 763.425.5050
City Ordinance 401.15.E.d requires that both sides of any fence shall be maintained in a condition of
reasonable repair and appearance by its owner and shall not be allowed to become and remain in
a condition of disrepair or danger, or constitute a nuisance, public or private. The fence, in its
ongoing state of disrepair, is in violation of this ordinance and is considered a nuisance.
This letter requests that you have the damaged fence material retrieved and removed from the
yard area no later than Friday, June 30th and that fence repaired no later than Monday, July 31St.
Thank you for your prompt attention. Please email me with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
JO` Hultman,
B it ing Official

Hi! Thanks for getting back with me. While you are coordinating the repair, please have someone pick up and remove
the damaged materials by the end of this weekend.
I looked back for your original fence installation and it looks like it was installed by Northridge Exterior back in
2004. Unfortunately, it also appears they had their State license revoked in 2008.
Some other contractors who have worked within the City this past year are:
Cyclone Fence 612.532.3095
Midwest Fence 651.451.2221
Town &Country Fence 763.425.5050
Let me know how I can help.

Hi Julie, my apologies I've been working up in Saint Cloud for a while and haven't gotten the chance to get around to it.
I've contacted a couple of places in order to get a bid but haven't they haven't found a matching panel. I'll update you as
soon as someone can replace the broken fence.
Thank you.

Hi Lihn,
Your fence was damaged this past Winter, at the 58th St. side of your yard. The damaged material needs
to be picked up and disposed of. Please do this immediately.
City Ordinance does require that fence's be maintained in good condition. It does require repair. What
the plan is for the repair of the fence and estimated time of when it will be done?
