RE: City Code Violation at 2184 Shadywood
Property Identification Numbers: 17-117-23-42-0008
City staff received a complaint regarding the fire truck displaying business signage parked at
2184 Shadywood Road which is located in the LR-1 C zoning district. The signage on the fire truck
violates allowed signage in a residential zone, specifically violating City Code Section 78-1467. The
fire truck also violates the gross vehicle weight limit in the residential zoning district, specifically
violating City Code section 78-1577(3).
This letter will serve as your notice that the property must be brought into compliance before
Thursday, September 13, 2012. In order to bring your property into compliance the fire truck must
be removed from the property or stored in an enclosed structure before Thursday,
September 13, 2012.
I have attached the pertinent City Codes for your reference. If you have any questions, please don't
hesitate to call me at 952.249.4620 or at cmattson(cDci.orono.mn.us.
Sincerely,
CITY OF ORONO

RE: City Code Violation at 2184 Shadywood

On April 30, 2013, City staff observed a fire truck displaying business signage on the property.
The signage on the fire truck violates allowed signage in a residential zone, specifically violating
City Code Section 78-1467. The fire truck also violates the gross vehicle weight limit in the
residential zoning district, specifically violating City Code section 78-1577(3). These code
sections are attached for your reference.
This letter will serve as your notice that the property must be brought into compliance
before Monday, May 13, 2013. In order to bring your property into compliance the fire truck
must be removed from the property or stored in an enclosed structure upon receipt of this letter.
The property will be re-inspected on or before Monday, May 13, 2013 for compliance with this
notice. As you will remember we sent several letters to you last summer regarding parking this
fire truck on your residential property. You are in a highly visible location and it will be easy for
us to monitor the property. Hopefully we can come to an understanding to avoid repeated
violations on the property as the summer progresses.
Please be advised, if you fail to comply with this notice, this matter will be sent to the City
Attorney for review and may result in criminal prosecution. If you have any questions, please
don't hesitate to call me at 952.249.4620 or at cmattsonCcDci.orono.mn.us.
