RE: City Code Violation at 2749 Kelly Avenue
Property Identification Number: 21-117-23-23-0027
City inspectors noted two violations on the above noted property:
• remnants of a dead tree, violating City Code Section 58-1(a)
• lawn not mowed, violating City Code Section 58-1(b)
This letter will serve as your notice that the property must be brought into
compliance before Wednesday, June 10, 2009 in order to avoid legal action by the
City. In order to bring your property into compliance the wood needs to be stacked or
disposed of properly and lawn must maintained and mowed to six (6) inches in length.
Please be advised, if you fail to correct the violation prior to the deadline, the City will
correct the violation and the costs to do so will be assessed against your property [Cite:
City Code 58-1(c)]. Those costs will be certified to the County Auditor and will be
collected in the same manner as special assessments against your property.
I have attached the pertinent City Codes for your reference. If you have any questions,
please don't hesitate to call me at 952.249.4625. •
Respectfully,
CITY OF ORONO

Sec. 58-1. Maintenance of private property.
(a) It is the duty of the owner of every vacant property and the owner and occupant
of every occupied property to maintain the property in a neat, clean and
presentable manner free of any junk, debris, refuse, litter, dead trees, or noxious
weeds, and to remove all other public health or safety hazards from the property.
(b) The owner or occupant of every lot or parcel shall regularly cut or otherwise
maintain all grass and weeds on the property at a height of not more than six
inches, except this provision shall not apply to the following:
(1) Publicly owned parks, trails or nature areas.
(2) Property actively being farmed or used for agricultural purposes in
conformance with chapter 78.
(3) Residential properties in excess of one acre gross lot size when located in
the RR-1A, RR-1B, LR-1A and RS rural residential zoning districts, provided
that such properties or portions of properties shall be maintained in
conformance with this subsection upon notice from the city that lack of such
maintenance has caused complaints from abutting property owners and is
thereby creating a public nuisance.
(4) Wetlands vegetation as defined in chapter 78.
(5) Grass, weeds or underbrush on any slope in excess of 100 percent (45
degrees).
(c) Any violation of this section is declared to be a nuisance and a public safety and
welfare hazard, and upon seven days' written notice to the owner, as shown by
the records of the office of the county auditor, of private premises on which such
material is found or any conditions in violation of this code section exist, the city
may remove such matter or correct any conditions in violation, and certify the
cost of such removals or corrections as any other special assessment.
