City orders property owner to clean up nuisance or face fines

During a recent government meeting, officials addressed a significant nuisance condition at a local property, determining that it poses a threat to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. The property owner has been ordered to comply with the city's nuisance abatement program by August 28, 2024.

The directive includes cutting all grass and weeds, trimming trees, shrubs, and bushes to meet specified standards, and removing all trash and debris, including landscape waste. Failure to comply by the deadline will result in a daily fine of $100 for each day the violation persists.

City officials emphasized that the costs incurred from the abatement process will be charged to the property owner. Additionally, the violator has a 30-day window to appeal the decision. The meeting underscored the city's commitment to maintaining community standards and ensuring compliance with local ordinances.
