Re: Site Maintenance — Trash Control
Dear Mr. TyPuhl:
Please be reminded that part of being a good neighbor includes maintenance of trash and
other refuse at your business site to ensure that it is always contained and not blowing about
your store site or into adjacent roadways and neighborhoods.
You are asked to take the appropriate measures to ensure policing of the areas at Lowe's
where trash or other refuse is contained or may find its way outside. Maintaining an exterior,
clear of trash or other refuse, should be made a priority. Policing and collection of wayward
trash or refuse shall occur at least once a week. This shall also include the weekly policing for
trash along the east side of NOVA SCOTIA Ave. as debris, for which you are responsible, does
blow from your property to this area
The City is optimistic that your measures to ensure a clean site will alleviate trash from
blowing into the roadways or adjacent neighborhoods; however if the City finds that blowing
trash continues'to be a problem, it will use its own resources to clear the area and you will be
charged accordingly (via placement of a special assessment on your property taxes) and /or
• additional conditions will be placed upon your Permit to Operate.
Thank you in advance for addressing this situation and being a good neighbor. If you have
any questions, please contact me anytime.
Sincerely,
1 f
