Re: Abatement of 302 And 304 Edwards Street.
Dear Ms. Walker,
On September 4, 2001 you were sent a letter from me requesting that the garbage, old
appliances and abandoned vehicles be removed from your properties at 302 and 304
Edwards Street. To date you have not responded to this request. This leaves the city no
recourse but to start an abatement process. To satisfy the City in the next 15 days you
will need to:
1. Remove all garbage from the front, back and side yards visible from the street.
2. Show proof of waste disposal service as required by City Ordinance.
3. Remove all of the old appliances
4. Remove abandoned car license 9981 BWB
This citation is a Civil Infraction and will be assessed a separate violation for each day
past the 15 days for compliance. You have 5 days after receipt of this notice to appeal
this notice in writing to the hearing board.
Sincerely
Gary Carlson
Building Official

Dear Ms. Walker,
On Friday August 31, 20011 was referred by our Police Department to complaints from
neighbors to the upkeep of your property. After review I have determined that the
complaints are valid and request that you remove the accumulated debris between the two
houses and store (per attached ordinance) or remove the unlicensed vehicle.
Thank you for your assistance. If you have any questions or I can be of help please feel
