Overgrown Vegetation
Grass, weeds and undergrowth on any property in the Town should not exceed a height of eight inches. If a property owner, lessee or occupant with control of a property fails, refuses or neglects to cut, destroy or remove such weeds within ten days after receipt of notice to do so given by Code Compliance, then the Town, through its agents and employees, may enter upon such lot or premises for a depth of 50 feet from each abutting property line, and cut and destroy such weeds and undergrowth for a depth of 100 feet from any abutting street, alley, greenway, bicycle path/lane, or sidewalk; 100 feet from any adjoining property which contains a dwelling or commercial building; and 50 feet from any dwelling or commercial building. The cost and expense thereof shall be paid by the owner, lessee, occupant or agent, or it shall become a lien against such property in the same manner as for taxes.
