<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />February 17, 1983 <br /> <br />TO: Jack Owen <br /> <br />FROM: David paulissen <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Weed Ordinance Amendments <br /> <br />We have had some problems in the recent past with <br />Ordinance #716, the "weed ordinance." ~"le would like Council <br />to consider the following amendments: <br /> <br />1. Require that weeds and brush be required to be mowed <br />or cleared only if within 150 feet of a residence or <br />place of business. <br /> <br />2. Change the required height that weeds must be before <br />they are mowed from nine (9) inches to eighteen (18) <br />inches. Note: 18 inches has been the "unwritten" <br />policy for more than four years. <br /> <br />3. Require mowing work be performed no more than three <br />times within anyone calendar year. Such work shall <br />not be performed at intervals of less than three (3) <br />months unless the Building Official determines that <br />the property constitutes a fire or health hazard to <br />an adjoining residence or place of business. <br /> <br />These amendments will be fair to property owners that have <br />been required to mow undeveloped property five and six times per <br />year. It still requires property next to residences and businesses <br />be mowed for rodent and mosquito control. <br /> <br />We feel that these amendments will be fair to all concerned <br />and will make it much easier to enforce. <br /> <br />oav&?issen <br /> <br />DP/cb <br />
