Vehicle Orange jeep on city property grass
Vehicle Orange jeep on city property grass
A boat, a trailer filled with appliances, lawn equipment, etc., has been parked across the yard all weekend. They've had this issue numerous times before with vehicles and made an improvement to the driveway size, but vehicles are still parked on the lawn.
There is a back-hoe parked in the back-yard, animal cages and multiple vehicles on the property. He is running two separate business from the house and the whole place looks like Pigeon Hill. All of our neighbors are very upset about how the property is full of junk and don't how he can do this in a neighborhood.
World food market has signage in row again. Always in tree area as well. Hurts street trees as well.
Area behind church had trees removed. Are these being put back? Is clearing a whole lot allowed? Unsure how this continues to go on.
There is a nuisance light in a box attached to pole 814 6521 on Morton Street in the narrow greenway between the B-line and Morton, opposite the driveway to the all red house next to the Bloomington Center for Connection. It creates glare all over the neighborhood and directly into my house. It is not part of the street light system. I have photos on my phone but don't know how to attach them to this file. I believe it should come down. Thank you.
How was ticket #2023050 resolved? thank you.
Problem reported earlier (#202303). Was 'Resolved' with the justification that the vehicle is located in a driveway. A driveway seems to me the 'private property' referred to in the Municipal Code section below. The license plate is expired. Owner recently replaced the 1975 plate with a newer one, but it still is an expired plate (2016). Vehicle has been there for at least 30 years. No one in the street can remember seeing it ever been used. 15.04.020 (6), definition of an Abandoned Vehicle. A vehicle that is three or more model years old and mechanically inoperable, and is left on private property continuously in a location visible from public property for more than twenty days.
Light on south side of house facing neighboring property is completely unshielded, with lighting element completely visible causing glare and light trespass on neighboring property. It is left on all night, and illuminates neighboring property even through room darkening curtains. This is in violation of city code: (5) Glare. All lighting fixtures shall be installed so as not to cause glare at or beyond the property line and shall not be aimed toward traffic. (A) Shielding. i. All lighting fixtures, except motion detector-activated lighting, shall be fully shielded so that the lighting element is not visible to an observer at any property line, except as stated otherwise in this Section 20.04.090 (Outdoor Lighting). ii. Unless otherwise specified, all lighting fixtures shall be full cutoff type as installed. iii. A lighting fixture may beam light upward only if all upward light is reflected back down by a canopy, roof, or other such structure. Please ticket and enforce. Also full trash cans are left out all week.
Sidewalk ends at my property (4151) and west to Smith road. Unsafe for pedestrians to be in the "walking" or "bike path" on this road. Unsafe for drivers. Suggest you put sidewalk in on my side, and return the road lanes out here to 4 instead of 2. There are too many wrecks coming in right over this hill because of traffic coming east off 46 into town and over this hill and it is always backed up from light at smith road. Picture of wreck this AM attached.
