iNFORMATION of2 <br /> <br />--~ Peine, Sandy <br /> <br />From: Mike and Cherie Score [score._family@msn.com] <br />Sent: Thursday, July 04, 2002 11:22 AM <br />To: cityclerk(~ci.elk-river, mn. us <br /> <br />Subject: city ordinances <br /> <br />I am not sure who to direct this e-mail to. I live in the Riverplace development. Lately, attention has been drawn <br />to our neighborhood due to the regrettable incidents of RC Rollof and the inadequate response of the city to them <br />in the first place. <br /> <br />We have had a number of on going problems with our neighborhood from the start, <br />we have felt that the city of Elk River has turned a blind eye to us here. <br /> <br />I would like some information on city ordinances and enforcement pertaining to the <br />following: <br /> <br />*residents who have not put in a lawn since building their homes over 3 years ago <br /> <br />*residents parking numerous vehicles (more than 4) in their driveways, yards, and in <br />the street. These are vehicles that do not move or are unable to be operated. This <br />would also include recreational, seasonal vehicles. <br /> <br />*We have heard that three of the newest homes in our neighborhood, located in the <br />circle, are possibly rental units, is this true? <br />Is this possible without notifying the neighbors, it will decrease the value of my <br />home, and seems a conflict with zoning rules. <br /> <br />*One of the residents has decided to use one of the side streets, that currently is a <br />dead end, for his own private junk parking lot, and seems to have people "camp" <br />there in a motorhome. <br /> <br />*Is there anything that can be done about the "used car lot" along 185th, it can be <br />hazardous to drive along there, also it is very dangerous for kids riding their bikes or <br />walking, with people coming and going looking at vehicles for sale. <br /> <br />My family and myself moved to this area because we thought it would be a quiet, <br />beautiful community in which to raise our children, but since we have lived here the <br />area has looked more like a "junk Pile" than a neighborhood. <br /> <br />We have been patient, feeling these were trivial little annoyances, but in talking to a <br />number of neighbors, we are all very frustrated with the lack of support given our <br />issues. <br /> <br />Please let me know if there is anything that can be done with these problems. <br /> <br />7/8/2002 <br /> <br /> <br />
