RE: Tree Trimmer & 1 Vehicle and Tree Trimmer - Each Add'1 Vehicle license applications
submitted by Pxime Cut LLC, d(b/a Prime Cut Tree Service for the City of Saint Paul
License ID # 20Q400Q4918
Dear Sir/Nladam:
The Department of SafeTy and Inspections (DSI) has recommended denial o£ the Tree
Triuluier & 1 Vehicle and Tree Trimmer - Each Add'1 Vehicle license applications submitted by
Prime Cut LLC, dlb/a Prime Cut Tree Service for the City of Saint Paul. The basis for the
recommendation is as follows:
On July 31, 2007, a DSI inspector came to your establishment with a Fire
Inspector and found no evidence of your business operating out of 87 Acker
Street East. The stated property owner (Aaron Shoemaker of Ten Bobcats,
LLC� informed them that Prime Cut Tree Service was no longer in
operation, you had filed bankruptcy and were no longer leasing the property.
At this time you have three options on how to proceed:
1. If you wish to admit the facts, but contest the penaliy, you may have a public heating
before the Saint Paul City Council, you will need to send me a letter with a statement
admitting the facts and requesting a pubiic hearing. We wi11 need to receive your letter by
Monday, August 20, 2007. The matter will then be scheduled before the City Council
for a public hearing to determine whether to deny your license applications. You will
have an opporhmity to appear befare fhe Council and make a statement on your own
behalf.
