RE: Home Occupations — Roofing Operation
Dear Mr. Ous,
As you are aware, you are operating roofing (or similar) company from the above address. Since you may
have recently purchased this property you may not be aware that the City does only allow certain types of
home occupations. Enclosed you will fmd a copy of the City Ordinance related to the use of residential
property for business reasons.
Specifically, operations such as yours are not allowed in a residential area and it is in violation of City
Ordinance 401.15 M and its components as you have not secured a home occupation permit; your business
is relegated to the garage /accessory structure; your operations change the character to the surrounding
residential neighborhood and you have exterior storage of equipment and trailers as utilized in your
operations.
Related to this issue, City Ordinance 401.15. F.4.f.1 precludes the parking of "...nn- qualifying
commercial vehicles, (or) commercial equipment..." in a residential district. Obviously you typically
maintain have at least two trailers of commercial nature at your site.
Unfortunately, you must cease in the use of this property as a base of operations for your roofing business
and you may not park these trailers at this address. Undoubtedly you will have questions on this matter, I
would be happy to answer any questions you may have. You may reach me at 651 439 - 4439 or you could
stop .y City Hall.
