Re: Accessory off-street parking—Trailers, Etc. Parked on Yard Area
City Ordinance 401.15.E.7 Violation Notification & Compliance Request
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Carlson:
The City of Oak Park Heights has regulations that are designed to enhance the quality life and
enjoyment of one's property. Sometimes, however conflicts can arise about what uses are
permitted and are not permitted. This letter is an effort to clarify one of those issues.
City Ordinance 401.15.E.7 Fencing, Screening& Landscaping states that "no landscaped area
shall be used for the parking of vehicles or for the storage or display of materials, supplies or
merchandise."
There have been trailers &/or recreational vehicles parked upon the yard of the above-
referenced property. Parking upon the yard/landscaped area, is a violation of City Ordinance.
To comply with city ordinance regulations, all vehicles, including trailers& recreational vehicles
shall be placed fully upon the driveway, an approved parking pad or to the interior of the
garage. No vehicles shall be parked upon the yard, unless upon a driveway or approved parking
pad.
This letter serves as the City's request that you relocate the above-referenced currently located
upon the yard area , to a compliant area as described above no later than Monday, September
29, 2014. A site visit will be made after that date and time to verify compliance.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Your prompt attention is
appreciated.
S'ncerely,
Jul# ultman, CBO
