Re: Parking Pad (Accessory off - street parking) & Exterior Storage
I
Dear Mr. Swihart:
Please be advised that the vehicle parked upon the grass in your front -yard and which
appears to be in some state of repair is violating City Ordinances 401.15.6.14 Exterior Storage,
and section 4.f of 401.15.F. Off - Street Parking and Loading, which regulate off street parking
and exterior storage. These ordinance sections are enclosed for your reference. The full 1
language of Zoning Ordinance 401 can be viewed on the City's webpage at
www.cityofoakparkheights.com.
This letter serves as the City's request that you relocate the vehicle and that it be placed fully
upon your driveway, upon an approved parking pad or to the interior of your garage if it is
inoperable. If the vehicle is operable and is located outdoors, the registration for it shall
remain valid.
The vehicle shall be relocated so that it is compliant with City Ordinance no later than
Monday, October 22, 2012. A site visit will be made after that date to verify compliance has
been met.
Thank you for your anticipated prompt attention. Please feel free to contact me with any .
questions you may have regarding this request. • • '"`
