City of Elk - Rive'r 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 March 17, 2009 Larson Properties of Monticello 606 East River Road Monticello, MN.55362-8752 Re: 13161 Hwy 10, Elk River, MN. 55330 Dear Mr. Larson, Last summer, we worked together on addressing some of the issues surrounding the condition of your property at 13161 Hwy 10 in Elk River. I appreciate your assistance in mowing the grass to reduce the issue there. As we discussed, a larger concern is the condition of the building, and the deterioration of the tarps which have large holes, exposing interior portions of the building to water, rodents, and further deterioration and decay. After an inspection on March 3, 2009, I found that the building is in serious need of repair on its east side. Specifically, the east wall and roof opening must be repaired weather tight with an attractive enough covering as to no longer be deemed a nuisance. It appears that the tarps are not an appropriate solution to address the problem adequately. This inspection identified the following violations of the City's adopted ordinances: 2006 International Property Maintenance Code-301.3 as adopted by reference in Sec.30-157 of the City of Elk River Code. City of Elk River Code-Sec.46-31(1) and Sec.46-35(a-3) I attach applicable regulations for your information. Please make arrangements to address the issues identified here by April 9, 2009. If these repairs are not completed by that time, or alternative arrangements made, the city will be forced to pursue a citation or abatement to rectify the problem. If you feel this notice is in error, you have the right to appeal this notice and order by filing a written application for appeal with the Board of Appeals for the City of Elk River. Sincerely, Dave Hetrick, Code Enforcement Officer City of Elk River 763.635.1067 Encl. Phone: 763.635.1000 Fax: 763.635.1090 wwwci.elk-river.mn.us
