As such the property is violation City Ordinance 401.15 with regard to vehicle parking and Nuisance Ordinance 1109 with regard to the brush piles and outside storage items. Please be advised that City Ordinance 401.15.F.6. requires that vehicles shall be parked in a garage, car port, or on a defined driveway leading directly into a garage or car port constructed of concrete, asphalt, cobblestone, or paving block. Parking of vehicles, including boats and trailers shall not be upon the yard area. The number of boats and trailers are excessive and suggest that a business operation or boat storage is occurring at the property. If this is the case, a home occupation permit approval may be required or not even permitted once we can determine the final facts. If the boats, trailers, and vehicles all belong to tenants of the home, they are required to be licensed, operable and registered to the home occupant. The piles of brush and other outside storage need to be cleaned up and properly stored or removed from the property. Tennis Sanitation can be contacted for disposal collection. They will charge based upon their fee schedule. This letter serves as the City's request for City Ordinance compliance. Compliance shall be made by removal of vehicles, trailers, boat and other similar items from your yard area and relocation of them to your garage, driveway or parking pad or off site. All piled brush shall be removed. All exterior storage items such as the automotive related items and those not typically used in a yard area, such as lawn furniture, shall be removed from the yard and properly stored.
