Re: Conditions of Occupancy: III South "A" Street
Dear Mr. Thayer:
This office is the Office of Legal Counsel for the City of
Springfield. As part of that representation, we assist the
City of Springfield Department of Planning and Community
Development in the enforcement of City of Springfield Nunicpal
Code, and the City of Springfield Zoning Code.
The City of Springfield Planning Department has informed us
that they are experiencing two continuing problems with your
firm arising from your failure to comply with two specific
requirements of your Certificate of Occupancy. Those specific
requirements are as follows:
"3. The South A Street frontage shall be landscaped
in compliance with the guidelines explained in the
handout supplied by the City. . .".
"6. Vehicles shall not displayed within the South A
right of way unless written approval is obtained from
the State Highway Department. If you are able to
obtain such approval, all areas used for display of
vehicles shall also be paved. This will require a
re-submittal of a revised plan for the additional paving
and modifications of the landscaped area for approval
by the City prior to making such change".
Staff of the Department of Planning and Community Development
have informed this office that there has been some difficulty
in impressing upon personnel of your office the importance of
compliance with these two requirements and also that there have
been numerous instances in which the requirements have not been
observed.
The purpose of this letter is to make clear to you the City's
determination that these two requirements be observed. In the
event that they are not observed, this office has received
instructions to initiate appropriate civil legal proceedings to

compel your compliance.
We hope that this will not be necessary, however, please do not
underestimate the City's resolve and determination that the
South A Street frontage shall be landscaped and that absent any
approval by the State and the City, vehicles shall not be
displayed within the South A right of way.
Should you fail to comply with the requirements as specified
above at any time after your receipt of this letter, please be
informed that this matter will be referred to the City Prosecutor
with the recommendation that appropriate civil proceedings be
initiated in the Springfield Municipal Court to compel your
compliance.
Thank you for your anticipated courtesy and cooperation in
this matter.
Sincerely,
HARMS, HAROLD & LEAHY
