Hervey 4849 Pine Needle Drive Pequot Lakes, MN 56472 Re: City of Pequot Lakes Potential Ordinance Violation PIN: 2912900200511009 Dear Ms. Hervey: It has come to our attention through a complaint that you are likely in violation of the City Code regarding Abandoned Vehicles, Exterior Storage and Visual Standards. The City Code defines Abandoned Motor Vehicle as "A motor vehicle as defined in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 16901, as amended, that ... (c) has remained on private property for more than thirty days and is inoperable or is unlicensed unless kept in a garage or other storage structure. " The City Code states in Section 17-7.5 (1-D) EXTERIOR STORAGE that "Abandoned motor vehicles shall be stored within a structure or completely screened from view from adjacent properties and right-of-way. " The City Code states in Section 17-7.6 VISUAL STANDARDS that "No use shall create, maintain or continue any activity or structure which has a strong negative visual impact or offends the morals or violates the standards of the City." I have been to your property and taken the enclosed pictures. If these pictures accurately depict the condition of your property, I would have to find that you are in violation of these two provisions of the City Code. I 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 May 13,2009 you remove or properly store the abandoned vehicles from your property.
