Re: 5920 Neal Ave. N., Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 — Closed Business Signage
Dear Ms. Tom:
A site visit to the above - referenced address was made Monday, May 6, 2013. At the time of
visit, I found notification at the site that KFC had ceased its business operation at this
location.
I emailed you as to this visit Monday afternoon, to which you responded that you were going
to check in with the tenant on the situation. I notified you that City Ordinance requires closed
business signage to be removed within 30 days of the business closure. I have enclosed City
Ordinance 401.15.G.15.c "Out of Business Signs" for your reference.
As the recorded owner of this property, Marco Polo, Inc. is wholly responsible for ensuring
that sign removal is undertaken as directed by City Ordinance 401.15.G.15.c. and is to do so by
this written notification, no later than Wednesdav, June 5, 2013. A compliance check will be
made after June 4, 2013.
Your prompt attention to this request is required. Kindly contact me immediately with any
questions you may have.
Sincerely,
