Re: Yard Maintenance
Dear Jason&Kelly:
I am writing to you regarding the condition of the yard area at your home. The shrubs throughout the
property need to be trimmed. Particularly those at the front of the house on 65th and those at the corner of
65', where they have grown to a point that they are creating a visual obstruction and safety hazard to
vehicular traffic site lines at the corner.
City Nuisance Ordinance 1109 defines a public nuisance as a"thing,act,or use of property which shall annoy,
injure, or endanger the health, safety, comfort or repose of the public." A copy City ordinance 1109 is
enclosed.
Additionally,it does appear that you have vehicles parked off the gravel driveway and upon the yard areas.
City Ordinance requires that vehicles(including campers)be parked upon a hard surface. A grassed lawn area
is not considered a hard surface for parking.
This communication directs that the shrubs and other vegetation over growth,at this property,be trimmed so
as to abate the current nuisance condition. Those at the roadway shall be trimmed back so that so that clear
traffic site lines are created to ensure safe vehicular and pedestrian travel. All vehicles parked upon the yard
area shall be removed or relocated to the driveway. Compliance shall be made no later than Monday,
September 20. Your continued maintenance to prevent reoccurrence of this nuisance is required. A
compliance visit shall be made after the 20h of September.
Your prompt attention is appreciated. I am happy to visit with you on site should you have any questions
regarding this request and what is needed.
Sincerely,
