Board updates ordinance to allow county to remove 'clutter' and cut excessive weeds on small agricultural lots
Summary
County staff said new state authority allows the county to remove defined clutter and cut grass on agricultural parcels one acre or smaller that are not actively farmed; the board adopted the amendments unanimously.
Planning and code staff summarized recent changes to county code that implement a state legislative change allowing localities greater clarity in removing defined "clutter" and cutting excessive vegetation on agricultural parcels one acre or smaller that are not actively in agricultural use.
Staff said the update clarifies what constitutes clutter for enforcement purposes and aligns county enforcement tools with state code; the board adopted the ordinance amendments by roll call without dissent. A board member noted this provides another tool for neighbors who live beside problem parcels.
