RE: City Code Violation at 2625 Lydiard Avenue
Property Identification Number: 20-117-23-14-0003
City Staff received a complaint regarding the camper parked on 2625 Lydiard Avenue.
According to City Code Section 78-1577(2) campers can be parked in the side or rear yard at
least 5 feet from the property line. Since the eastern side lot line abuts a street, the required
setback is 35 feet from the street lot line (along Lydiard Avenue) according to the LR-1 B zoning
district standards as noted in City Code Section 78-330.
This letter will serve as your notice that the property must be brought into compliance
before Mondav, June 18, 2012. In order to bring the property into compliance the camper
must be moved to a conforming location or removed from the property.
I have attached the pertinent City Codes for your reference. If you have any questions, please
don't hesitate to call me at 952.249.4620 or at cmattsonCcaci.orono.mn.us.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is code enforcement?
The Orono City Council has established goals and expectations for the general health, safety, welfare,
and aesthetic standard of the community.
These expectations are adopted as law in the City Code. Planning, zoning, building staff and police
officers provide enforcement services for violations of the City Code that impact the safety and quality
of life of the community. While code enforcement primarily maintains quality of life standards, it also
plays an important role in the early identification and mitigation of unsafe exterior hazards, public
health hazards,and compliance with humane pet standards.
How is the complaint process initiated?
The code enforcement process is typically initiated in one of several ways: 1) in response to a complaint
by an individual, 2) as a consequence of an action (i.e. an application for a building permit or a zoning
variance);or 3)observation of a code violation by the staff.
Minnesota state law prohibits the release of the identity of individuals who make a complaint. Minn.
Stat.§ 13.44 states: The identity of individuals who register complaints with government entities
concerning violations of state or local ordinances concerning the use of real property are classified as
confidentia/data,pursuant to section 13.02,subdivision 3.
Why am I receiving a formal letter and not a courtesy phone call?
Your property has one or more city code violations. The city, in most circumstances, is required to
provide a written notification to the owner of the property.
What happens if 1 ignore this order?
Additional penalties including criminal prosecution are possible. Your immediate attention is required.
Do not i�nore this order.
What if my tenant is the party responsible for creating the violation?
You are receiving this notice because you are the owner of record and are ultimately responsible for
ensuring that the violation(s) listed in this notice are corrected. You may also be subject to fees for
corrective action initiated by the city and/or fines for failure to comply.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is code enforcement?
The Orono City Council has established goals and expectations for the general health, safety, welfare,
and aesthetic standard of the community.
These expectations are adopted as law in the City Code. Planning, zoning, building staff and police
officers provide enforcement services for violations of the City Code that impact the safety and quality
of life of the community. While code enforcement primarily maintains quality of life standards, it also
plays an important role in the early identification and mitigation of unsafe exterior hazards, public
health hazards,and compliance with humane pet standards.
How is the complaint process initiated?
The code enforcement process is typically initiated in one of several ways: 1) in response to a complaint
by an individual, 2) as a consequence of an action (i.e. an application for a building permit or a zoning
variance);or 3)observation of a code violation by the staff.
Minnesota state law prohibits the release of the identity of individuals who make a complaint. Minn.
Stat.§ 13.44 states: The identity of individuals who register complaints with government entities
concerning violations of state or loca/ ordinances concerning the use of real property are classified as
confidentia/data, pursuant to section 13.02,subdivision 3.
Why am I receiving a formal letter and not a courtesy phone call?
Your property has one or more city code violations. The city, in most circumstances, is required to
provide a written notification to the owner of the property.
What happens if I ignore this order?
Additional penalties including criminal prosecution are possible. Your immediate attention is required.
Do not i�nore this order.
What if my tenant is the party responsible for creating the violation?
You are receiving this notice because you are the owner of record and are ultimately responsible for
ensuring that the violation(s) listed in this notice are corrected. You may also be subject to fees for
corrective action initiated by the city and/or fines for failure to comply.
