Allyn Dannhoff (a copy of the letter is enclosed) within the next 30 days to avoid the issuance of
additional citations. In addition the items noted in the letter must be done and inspected within the next
30 days unless an ext~nsion is granted. Please note that you will need to renew the garage permit once

Re: Property Maintenance Issues
Dear Mr. Zutz;.
As stated in out conversation this morning, while you have made progress in complying with the
Property Maintenance Orders, there are still violations that must be corrected. As I have stated, if
compliance is provided by the court date, this office will recommend dismissal of one citation and a
minimum stipt4ation on the other. . Ultimately, any such decision is the responsibility of the City
Attorney's Office.
The following items/concerns were specifically observed in recent inspections $1d must b~ addressed
for this office to make the aforementioned recommendation:
1. Finish painting, siding or a combination of both of the front porch.
2. Eliminate storage under the front porch.
3. Finish siding, soffit and facia installations for the remainder of the house. .
4. Neatly store the boats within the confines of the gravel driveway or within the garage.
5. Eliminate storage of items on the boat visible from adjacent properties, the alley and street.
6. Store the boats in a manner that reflects you are pr~serving their value and is not obtrusive to the
neighborhood.
7. Remove all lumber and beams stored in the driveway and elsewhere on the property that cannot,
would riot be reasonably used for the construction of the garage. Remaining construction
materials that will not be used within a few days shall be neatly stored and protected from the
elements.
8. Store all garbage cans, gas cans, mini bike, lawn tractor, garden tractor, bicycles and any other
items typically not stored outdoors when not in use within the confines of the garage or other
approved alternate location. For example, bicycles can be stored in a basement if desired.
9. Make progress on the garage so it can be used for storage (install the roof and rqofing and cover
the walls with a house wrap such as Tyvek. ) We then would . look for completion of the gara.ge in.
a timely manner, typically prior to pennit expiration. In such case, we would expect items
typically stored in the garage (gas cans, garden tractor, garden trailer, etc.) to be stored in an .
acceptable manner. Such items (tractor, gas cans) may need to be stored off site in a garage due
to the inherent dangers associated with their storage within a dwelling.
In this case, the Building Permit for the garage has expired. Therefore you will need to obtain a
renewed Building Permit and submit a schedule stating your plans for completing various phases
of construction. For example when is compliance with the aforementioned phase scheduled?
When will siding, soffit and facia be completed? When Will garage doors be installed? When
will grading and lawn seeding around the garage be completed? If you are unable to meet the
".,.
. '" . progress schedule on the garage, you will need to communicate that to us with an explanation.
As summed up in our meeting, this property has a general unkempt appearance. It is the cumulative
effect of all of these issues that has resulted in this office taking corrective action on this property.
As I have indicated previously, the City's goal is compliance. Typically if we gain compliance
without significant legal action, we would rather see the money spent in providing compljance.
If you have questions, please call Nicole Krahn, Building & HV AC Inspector at 236-5036 or me at
236-5045. Please keep us infonnedofprogress you are making.
