Box 2007 • Oak P ark Heights, MN 55082 -2007 • Phone: 651/439 -4439 • Fax: 651/439 -0574 September 17, 2009 Ms. Carol Winegar 14836 56 St. N. Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 Ref: Outside storage / inoperable vehicle Dear Ms. Winegar: This last. month I issued a permit to a contractor for the installation of a new roof on your home. During my final inspection for this project I observed several violations to the City's Zoning Ordinance in your yard and driveway. The items in violation and the respective code sections are: 1) Outside storage of many cardboard boxes, plastic storage containers, exercise equipment, and other miscellaneous items throughout your yard, beneath your deck in the rear, and in the entryway to your front door: Section 401.15.B.14 states that all materials and equipment shall be stored within a building or fully screened so as not to be visible from adjoining properties and the public right -of -way. 2) There is a white Dodge Neon in your driveway with deflated tires, full of boxes and other miscellaneous items, such as a table lamp, and has not been licensed since July 2004. Section 1301.02 states that any vehicle parked on private property unless the vehicle is properly licensed and in operable condition. I ask that all the miscellaneous items throughout your yard be properly stored within your garage or removed no later than October 15, 2009. In addition, the vehicle must be properly licensed and must be in running condition or it is to be removed from the premises. Please note that the purpose of the City's Zoning Ordinance is to provide standards to enhance the health, safety, and general welfare of the community residents and to prevent a negative impact on the values of abutting properties. If you have any questions, please call me at 651 -275 -9590 or e-mail me at jbutler @cityofoakparkheights.com. I anticipate your full cooperation in correcting the violations stated above no later than October 15, 2009. Thank you.
