Re: Vehicle Parking and House Numbers
Dear Mr. Johnston,
Recently a vehicle was observed parked on the grass at the east side of your home. Please be advised
that City Ordinance 401.15.F. regulates off - street parking and loading and requires that passenger
vehicles be parked upon a defined driveway or within a garage or carport. City Ordinance 401.15.B.
directs that inoperable and /or unlicensed vehicles shall not be parked or stored outside for a period in
excess of 30 days.
Also, your home was noted to be without having house numbers installed. House numbers are critical
for emergency response organizations such as the Police Department, Fire Department and Medical
Response teams to assist you, and they are required by Oak Park Heights City Ordinance 701.02.D.
House numbers shall be installed per the criteria established in sections 701.02 D and C., specifically
the numbers shall be:
1. Visible from the street on which the property is located;
2. Affixed to the building or a sign post (not a mailbox);
3. A minimum of three (3) inches in height;
4. Made of a durable, weather resistant material such as metal, glass, plastic, etc.; and
5. Are of a color that is contrasting to the base color of your home or sign post.
With this letter you are hereby requested to remove the vehicle from your side yard and to install house
numbers at your home at your first opportunity, but no later than August 15, 2011.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please feel free to call or email me. Thank you for
your prompt attention.
Sincere) ,
