Page 1 of 2 Subj: Enforcement Action -Request Date: 11/8/2005 2:33:29 PM Central Standard Time From: MCurtis@ci.orono.mn.us(Me/anie Curtis) To: pottskatty@aol.com(Ken Poits) CC: MGaffron@ci.orono.mn.us(Mike Gaffron) File: ViolationLetter 2.zip(15517 bytes)DL Time(48000 bps): < 1 minute Ken I have an enforcement issue..... I've issued an informational letter and a notice of violation (both attached)to a resident, Mike Swanson at 3300 Navarre Ln, who owns contracting businesses... Seal Coating, Seasonal Maintenance and Dock installation and repair etc. he runs these businesses out of his truck(?)or out of his home as I understand it. Very often he brings equipment on trailers or numerous vehicles(bearing the business name) to his home where they are parked overnight or until he needs to use them. Also, his employees often come to the property to congregate either before or after work and to pick up equipment at which time they also leave their vehicles parked on the City street for the day. Swanson indicated to ms that h�undsrstands the City's position on the illegal home occupation but will continue to operate as he has been... and continue to bring commercial equipment to his residential property as he sees fit. Swanson also indicated that if"forced to"he will remove the business lettering from the equipment, trailers and vehicles and park them "all over his yard". Swanson informed me that he has rented a storage facility outside of Orono where he is able to sto�e most of his equipment but sometimes it is inconvenient to bring equipment/trailers there at the end of the day. In short, I have issued notice (by regular and certified mail)of the illegal use, told the property owner that the use must be discontinued by October 10, and now am at a standstill... please advise as to my next step. I have photos of the vehicles, trailers and equipment at the home—and can continue to get additional documentation if need be. Thank you, Melanie p.s. At any time in the next couple of weeks I will be out on matemity leave until sometime mid-January. If you could give me your initial thoughts as soon as iYs convenient for you it would be best, and if another staff person must handle this in my absence I will see that they are up to speed. And...just in case please copy your correspondences to Mike Gaffron mgaffron _ ci.orono.mn.u_s as wetl. Thanks!
