RE: Unlicensed Inoperable Vehicle
Dear Mr. Torkelson:
On May 24, 1994, this office notified you of a zoning violation on your property - storage of
unlicensed, inoperable vehicles. After notification you licensed two vehicles.
The City requires vehicles to be licensed and operable. Therefore, the City must require you to
demonstrate that they are operable and still currently licensed.
Please arrange a meeting on site at your earliest convenience. Thank you.
Sincerely,
4le !:--

Re: Unlicensed Inoperable Vehicles
Dear Mr. Torkelson:
The City first notified you of zoning violations on your property on May 24, 1994. As of this date,
the violations still exist and have increased. The City has afforded you ample time to bring your
property into compliance. Vehicles must be licensed and operable or stored within a legally erected
structure. If the vehicles are operable, you must arrange an inspection so the City can verify it.
A new deadline of April 15, 1996 has been established. If this deadline is not met, the City will
issue citations and refer the matter to the City Attorney for further legal action. If you have any
questions, feel free to contact me at my office.
Sincerely,
4att--
