P. O. Box 2645 Baxter,MN 56425 Re: City of Pequot Lakes Potential Ordinance Violation PIN: 290233300CB0009 Whalen Woods Sign • I Dear Sirs: It has come to our attention through a complaint that you are likely in violation of the City Code regarding Signs. The City Code states in Section 17-7.1 (4 A)that "Non-maintained signs or signs for discontinued business will be removed after notification by the Zoning Administrator or after discontinuance of the business " I have been to your property and taken the enclosed picture. The business indicated in this picture ceased to operate quite some time ago. As opposed to formally citing you for a violation of the Ordinance,we would like the opportunity to work with you to correct the situation. We are requesting that by no later than June 18,2009,you remove this sign from this location. Failure to comply with the City Code by June 18,2009 will prompt us to take more aggressive action. This would likely include Administrative Fines of$100.00 per day for each day the violation continues, civil action to obtain a court order directing you to comply with the City Code and could potentially include criminal action. You will be responsible to reimburse the City for any expenses incurred in remedying this violation. This would include any consultant fees or other professional services that City Staff determines is necessary,including but not limited to the City Planner at $92.00 per hour,the City Engineer at$93.00 to$148.00 per hour or the City Attorney at$145.00 per hour.
