Explanation/Summary(attach supplement sheets as necessary) Summary: The property located at 5440 Jackson Drive has had a ongoing nuisance history dating back to 1994. Since December of 1994, the City has sent the property owner, Mike Courtney, twelve letters requesting correction of Nuisance Code violations regarding inoperable and junk vehicles parked off of improved surfaces and the outside piling and storing of car parts and debris. Mr. Courtney has been granted numerable extensions on deadlines to clean his property and to ensure that all vehicles parked or stored on the property to be properly licensed and parked upon an improved surface. At no time during this period has the property in question ever Oen declared "nuisance free." n October 15, 1996, the City sent Mr. Courtney a detailed letter explaining the code violations present at that time. These were: • vehicles parked upon an unimproved surface (Section 607.06, Subd. 3.c.1) • vehicles not displaying current license plates (Section 607.06, Subd. 6.d.) • vehicles not owned by legal resident of property on premises (Section 607.06, Subd. 3.c.2) • junk, car parts, and debris accumulations) (Section 607.03, Subd. 3.c.) Mr. Courtney was given a deadline of November 3, 1996, to correct these violations. The property was reinspected on November 4, 1996, and it was found that Mr. Courtney had made an effort to correct some of the violations, but much work remained. During this site inspection, for which Mr. Courtney was present, nine specific actions were identified that would need to be accomplished in order to remedy the Code violations. These actions were enumerated and confirmed in a letter to Mr. Courtney dated November 7, 1996. The City suggested a time-line whereby at least two items from the enumerated list could be accomplished each week, resulting in a clean-up period of one month. 'COMMENDATION: Order abatement of nuisances on the property at 5440 Jackson.
