Dear Ms. Saba: This letter will reiterate our conversation of April 20, 1977 a�d m3ke clear the City's requirements for �he Code violations located on your prope�ty. It was brought to the City's attentian and confirmed by an on site inspection on t,hat date that varying amounts of engine parts, tires, junked vehicles, and miscellaneous vehicle frames and parts were being stored and/or worked on by your son on this property. Section 205, Zoning, of the Fridley City Code, defines an auto wrecking or junk yard as, "Any place where two or more motor vehicles not in running condition or parts thereof, are stored in the open and are not bei.ng restored to operation, or any land, building or structure used for wrecking or storing of such motor vehicles or parts thereof; and including any €arm vehicles or farm �achinery, or parts thereof, stored in the o}�en and not being restored to operating condition; and including the coamtercial salvaging and sca.venging of any other goods, articles or merchandise." Also, an examination of the City zoning map has determined tha.t your property is currently zoned C-1S. Enclosed p3.ease find the district regul.ations for a C-1S piece of property. It is most important to read and com�,rehend Section 205.101, Uses }?ermittetl, and Section 205.102, Uses Excluded, where a junk yard and an automobile service station are expressly prehibit� from being operated in a C-1.S zone. Therefure,�khe City must require you`to disconti.nue operating a junk yard or service station and to clean and maintain your property free of all junked vshicles, engine parts, and iniscellaneous materials associated with this operation. A reinspection will be conducted on or �.ben± May 15, 1977 to determine comp].iance. TrTe are confident in your cooperation, and desire to make \�_ � _� a...r, ., . . _�i ! - ".� 3 � �'` C�n�s� / �� '� - --�-�-- � .� _ _ :.�- � '� ' - ; � � � ��o , r :,, , ` ' � �;��( � L.' � R JI j. ,,. �` � `� G fv ,� � o°----' _, -- i ' ��;r A�,ad . . .,,_,...- �=_ � : . . � f r"��+ �i _f . _ . _ 1 I I . _ �` � � . _ . . . .. / � . .. . . . . . � - . � � , . ,,'/, � � _ - .�� . � �- . . . . .

At this time, it Would be expected that additional efforts Would be made to remove any motor vehicles that are unlicensed and in a junked, street inoperable condition and to remove the remaining debris from the property. The City is eonfident in your eooperation and if there are any questions or problems that result from this letter, please feel free to call on me at 571-3u50. To determine progress toWards the compliance �ith this letter, a reinspection r►ill be conducted on or about June 6, 1983• Failure to abate these violations may result in this matter being turned over to the City Prosecutor for his legal eonsideration.

Tags were issued, resulting in court appearances and a request for trial by jury. The trial is set for February 26, 1985. Since Steve Olson is no longer an employee of the City the tags he issued will not be admissible and our Prosecutor has stated that the violation should be withdrawn. We have negotiated with Mr. Saba's attorney in an attempt to arrive at an agreement p�ior to the court hearing. At this time they are proposing to construct a six foot fence enclosing a 60x210 foot area at the rear of the yard in which to store vehicles and materials. This area is considerably removed from the adjoining residential properties and should satisfy the complaints of back yard appearances without going to court on an issue that we would probably lose. �w�p. - -1 -�� If the Council has no objection, I recomnend that we proceed with this proposal, requesting the court date be cancelled or extended until such time as a satisfactory agreement is obtained from Mr. Saba and his attorney,Mr. Tello.

DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Community Development Department PI.ANNING DIVISION City of Fridley July 14, 1995 W lliam W. Burns, City Manager Kurt Schneider, Code Enforcement Officer Code Enforcement Update As requested, I have compiled a quick summary of the recent code enforcement activities. It is important to note that these cases are a sample of the over 70 c�ses that have been established since the beginning of June. 55 °°��6tti 'Way �N.E:�°� As you may recall, this has beea� a long standing c,ase regarding the outside storage of materials in the driveway and the collection of leaves for use as mulch After several visits with the complainant and the residents at 55 - 66th Way, staffbelieves that we ha.ve resolved this c,ase. The residents understand that they will be cit� should the outdoor storage violations recur. They are also taking steps to screen the rear yard with a privacy fence. The residents at 55 - 66th Way have reviewed their privacy fence plans with staffto ensure all code requirements are met. 650 Ely Street: The code history at this address involves legal action and past clean-up by the City. To date, staff has met with the properiy owners on two separate occasions, and established an incremental clean-up schedule. At this time, the property owner is cooperating with the clean-up and has made significant progress. An issue at this address that will always be a concern is the number of vehicles. Currently, all vehicles aze liceased and operational. However, they are so numerous that two or three are routinely parked on the street. 6200 Block of Fifth Street: The complaints in this area revolve around the dupiexes on the west side of F'�fth Street.

Code Enforcement Update July 14, 1995 Page 2 notified about the improper outside storage of furniture and other material. Recently, several of the properties changed ownership, and appear to have improved their exterior maintenance. This area, however, continues to be the subject of non-code related complaints, including late night activities, noisy traffic and loitering in the yard_ 7345 �entrai Avenue: This case has been brought to my attention by an Environmental Specialist with Anoka County. Staff has not yet completed the background research on this rather extensive case. The situation appears to involve a long standing vehicle repair operation or scrap yard Numerous items are being stored on the property wtuch are in violation of the junk vehicle ordinance. Staffwill be ta.king action on this case, and coordinate action with the Anoka County Environmental Officer. A quick review of the address has indicated that legal action may have influenced previous clean- up efforts. 5851 - Third Street: This unkept properiy is the source of several violations including junk vehicles, improper outside storage and unsecured refuse containers. It has been cleaned up to a satisfactory condition in the past, but has since reverted back to an unacceptable condition. A code concem also in n�d of atten6on is the property owner's perpetual garage sale sta.tus. At this time, the property owner has been asked to meet with staff so that we may develop a positive solufion to the case. ff the property owner does not contact staff to arrange a meeting by July 24, 1995, we will be preparing for legal action. These particular cases ha.ve surfaced as some of the more substantial violations at this time. As the summer continues, staff hopes to be permanently resolving ea.ch of these violations. Staff also continues to receive code enforcement complaints on a daily basis, and attempts to respond to each in a timely manner.

FRIDLEY, MN 55432 •(763) 571-3��0 • FAX (763) 571-1Z87 December 13, 2002 Arline Saba 7345 Central Avenue NE Fridley, MN 55432 Subject: Last & Final Paved Drivewav Reminder Dear Ms. Saba: This letter is your last and final reminder; all driveways within the City of Fridley need to be paved by December 31, 2002. As you are aware, the City Council adopted an ordinance declaring gravel driveways a public nuisance. They were declared a public nuisance for a number of reasons, such as: they can cause erosion, contaminate soil with oil and other vehicles fluids, and deposit soil and gravel in the City's storm sewers and detention ponds. When gravel driveways were declared a public nuisance, the City Council gave property owners five years to have their gravel driveways paved. The five-year deadline is quickly approaching, which means all gravel driveways within the City of Fridley must be paved with approved concrete or asphalt by December 31, 2002. If you've already paved your driveways, Thank you! Please call me at 763-572-3595, so I can update our files. The City Council has agreed to allow an extension until June 15, 2003, to those of you who haven't paved your driveway and/or can't get a contractor to do the project until spring. In order to be eligible for this extension, proof of a signed contract from your concrete or asphalt contractor stating that they will pave your gravel driveway by June 15, 2003 must be filed at the City by December 31, 2002. You as the property owner will also be required to sign the statement on the next page, ensuring the driveway will be paved by June 15, 2003. Failure to do so will result in a criminal citation being issued on January 3, 2003 and filed at Anoka Countv. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call me 763-572-3595.
