Re: St. Croix Laundry/Cleaners Canopy Structures at 5850 Omaha Ave. N.
Dear Ms. Gregor:
I am writing to you regarding the canopies located at the lower level of your offices at 5850
Omaha Ave. N. St. Croix Laundry/Cleaners moved from the building at the end of 2006.The
canopy to the front of the building and the canopy to the north side of the building still
advertise the operations of their business.
City Ordinance 401.15.G.15.c Out of Business Signs, directs that signs not used for signing
when a business permanently closes or leaves the tenant space shall be removed or altered
within thirty (30) days from the close of business.
To this end,this letter serves as a request that you take corrective action to comply with City
zoning ordinance requirements as to the canopies. Compliance may be met (a) by removing
the canopy structures entirely from the building or (b) by removing the canopy covering and
replacing it with a solid, text free covering. Please note that removing the canopy cover from
the frame without recovering it not an option.
Please address the above request and have compliance met no later than May 31, 2010.
I welcome you to contact me with any questions you may have.
cerely,
Ju Hultman
