Dear Business Owner(s):
I'm writing with regard to the storage of vehicles associated with automobile
body andlor repair businesses located within the City of Springfield. The City
Code requires that all stored, damaged or inoperable vehicles exposed to public
view for a period of more than 20 days be covered from view by a structure or
enclosure of a permanent nature affixed to the ground (a fence or permanent
building). Please refer to Section 5-l-l (3)(j) of the attached excerpt of that
Code.
It has been brought to our attention that stored vehicles are visible from both
public and private property at your business location. A fenced area, alone,
does not meet the intent of the Code. The fence must be of.solid materials or
slatted chain link in order for it to meet screening requirements. We realize
that some inoperable/damaged vehicles are temporarily stored in public view
while waiting for repairs. However, recent periodic inspections have revealed
that many such vehicles appear to be permanently stored in public view either
as wrecked vehicles or those being used for parts.
The inoperable or damaged stored vehicles on your property which are not covered
from public view must either be removed from the property or screened from view
in the above described manner. Your anticipated courtesy and cooperation in
promptly correcting these conditions is appreciated.
Please direct all inquiries to the Springfield Building Safety Division at 726-
3753.
Sincerely, ()
(7 !'I'<...Y. ~
