UM, SHE'S NOT ABLE TO DO, IF SHE DOESN'T BECOME COMPLIANT BY THE TIME WE'RE THERE.
AND THEN THE CONTRACTOR'S GOING TO DO A REMOVAL AND SEND HER AN INVOICE.
AND I BELIEVE SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT I, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S THE REASON WE HAVE THIS BOARD TO MAKE THE DECISION ON WHETHER WE DO THIS.
SHE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE SHE SHOULD HAVE TO APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD TO ASK FOR THIS.
UM, THAT'S WHY MY VOICEMAIL INDICATED THAT WE'RE BEYOND THE POINT OF ME GRANTED YOU AN EXTENSION BECAUSE THERE IS A BOARD HEARING YOU HAVE TO APPEAR BEFORE THE BOARD TO ASK THEM YOURSELF.
HOW CURRENT, HOW CURRENT DO YOU THINK THESE PICTURES ARE THAT WE ARE SEEING? I'M SORRY.
HOW RECENT ARE THESE PICTURES ARE THAT WE'RE SEEING? GIVE ME A MOMENT.

VERIFIES THE PROPERTY DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARDS SET FORTH IN THE CODE, THEREFORE THE PROPERTY IS IN VIOLATION.
AND I'LL ADD TO THAT THE AMOUNT OF OVERGROWTH AND ITS HEIGHT CAN BE A HAZARD FOR ACCESS BY EMERGENCY SERVICES.
THAT IS ONE OF OUR CONCERNS IN THE SITUATION LIKE THIS.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE OVERGROWTH ON THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE IN THIS PHOTO IS QUITE DENSE AND TALL.
UH, YOUR ATTACHED CASE REVIEW ILLUSTRATES THE VIOLATION PROCESS AND NON-COMPLIANCE OF THE PROPERTY.
CITY ZONING LETTERS MAILED TO THE OWNER OF RECORD HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED.

QUESTIONS? ANYONE? SO THERE'S BEEN NO COMPLAINTS FROM THE NEIGHBORS.
IS THAT ON THE NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY AS WELL? NO, THAT'S THE ONE WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT IS THE ONE ON THE PROPERTY TO THE RIGHT ALONG THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE.
THAT PART OF THEIR, THE OVERGROWTH, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ON THE NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY.
AND OF COURSE IN ANY CASE OF THAT NATURE, THE THE ADJACENT PROPERTY HAS A LEGAL RIGHT TO TRIM ANYTHING BACK TO THE PROPERTY LINE.
BUT SOMETIMES THEY CHOOSE NOT TO.
SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T BOTHER THEM.
BUT, UM, WE WILL DO THE TRIMMING.
PRINCIPALLY MY CONCERN IS THE TRIMMING THAT'S AGAINST THE STRUCTURE ITSELF.
AND THAT WOULD COULD IMPAIR ACCESS BY EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT, EMERGENCY PERSONNEL RATHER.
SO DOES THE CITY HAVE A CODE FOR HEIGHT? WE DO NOT.
THIS IS A, THIS IS WHEN THIS CODE WAS WRITTEN, IT WAS WRITTEN TO BE USED LIBERALLY BY US.
SO WE DON'T SPECIFY HEIGHT, WHICH IS PROBABLY A GOOD THING ON OUR BEHALF BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO HAVE THE PRIVACY AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.
BUT WHAT WE HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT IS SITUATIONS WHERE IT COULD BE A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS THIS.
WHEN IT'S GROWN UP TO THE POINT THAT IT'S TALLER THAN THE WINDOWS AND THE ROOF.
SO WE'RE NOT HERE TO CONTROL TASTE, BUT WE HAVE TO USE COMMON SENSE APPROACH AND SAY THIS IS OUT OF HAND, THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE.
AND OF COURSE THE OWNER HAD THE, UH, OPPORTUNITY FOR SEVERAL WEEKS TO DO IT THEMSELVES.
SO WHEN UH, YOUR CONTRACTOR GOES IN TO CUT THIS DOWN, THEN THEY WOULD CUT IT DOWN BELOW THE ROOF LINE.
I WILL TELL HIM PROBABLY TO TAKE THIS DOWN TO THE GROUND, ESPECIALLY IF THESE APPEAR TO BE WEEDS.
IF IT'S SHRUBS THAT ARE ESTABLISHED SHRUBS, WE WOULD'VE IT TRIMMED DOWN TO A REASONABLE HEIGHT.
TO YOUR FIRST QUESTION, A REASONABLE HEIGHT.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? HAVE A MOTION PLEASE.
WE DECLARE THE PROPERTY IN NUISANCE.
SO MOTION CARRIES FOR P M R B CASE 23 DASH 49 AND THAT'S ALL OF OUR CASES FOR THIS EVENING.
AND MOVING ON WITH THE AGENDA, I SEE THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL BUSINESS AND AS LONG AS THERE'S NO OBJECTION FOR THE MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER THE 14TH, I WILL APPROVE THOSE MINUTES.
ALRIGHT, UPCOMING MEETINGS IS OCTOBER THE 26TH AND THEN NOVEMBER THERE'S NO DATE.
THERE IS JUST ONE MEETING IN NOVEMBER BECAUSE OF THE HOLIDAYS COMING.
SO THEN AT THAT POINT I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
