I <br />am in support of the updates to the amendment specifically the part regarding covering with tarps. <br />Covering items with a tarp or other covering not specifically designed for the items beneath the <br />covering does not abate the nuisance <br />As many of you know I have been dealing with a neighbor for over three years regarding garbage, junk, <br />etc in his yard. Thanks to a few of the city employees for stepping up and helping with this issue, I am <br />looking forward to putting this issue to rest. The final step in the process seems to be amending this <br />ordinance. The person living next door to me seems to think putting a tarp or other coverings over <br />miscellaneous junk deems it taken care of. I disagree with this. Piles of junk whether covered or not are <br />still piles of junk. Many times the tarps blow around the yard or are torn and flapping around in the <br />wind. In my opinion this is not a proper way to store items or to make a yard look acceptable. Please <br />vote to approve the amendments to this ordinance. I expect the amendment will help in the future with <br />nuisance properties and not drag out for 3 or more years. <br />Thank you, <br />Tammy Jorgenson Owens <br />1790 Tipton Cr NW <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />
