Debbie,that sounds reasonable, however I don't think we should take them to the CEB and I think you know why.
Thanks

Subject: RE: Lot clearing
Mike G, I will visit with Ash Properties and explain the problem and ask
them to cut the lot. If they don' t I will send them an official notice.
If this is the way you want it handled. If not, please let me know.
Thanks, Debbie

Subject: RE: Lot clearing
Mike,
I was looking for the code you reference below saying that "if the property has been cut on multiple occasions."The City
of Jacksonville has the requirement that if the property has been previously cut it has to be maintained, we do not. I am
aware of section 302 of the IPMC, which if enforced against all vacant land that is overgrown in Atlantic Beach, including
1
vacant and unimproved City property, would not make common sense. Many jurisdictions have amended section 302 of
the IPMC to include a boundary designation such as the 20 ft. perimeter to make section 302 IPMC practical and
enforceable.
We will ask Ash Properties to cut the lot due to problems arising from the adjacent residential community, however
taking Ash Properties to the code board may be problematic in that we do not ask other undeveloped property owners,
including the City,to clear unimproved property.
Also,we will look into amending the IPMC to address unimproved property adjacent to improved
residential/commercial property so that enforcement can stand a legal challenge.
Thanks
Mike G.

Subject: RE: Lot clearing
Mike,
Below is from section 302 of the International Property Maintenance Code which, of course is
adopted in Municipal Ordinance 6-120. This may provide some authority, but it does exclude shrubs.
However, I also recall that if a property owner clears an undeveloped lot, then they are required to
keep it clear, but I was unable to find this requirement in our ordinance. The city has dealt with this
property owner before and they have cleared the lot on multiple occasions. Fyi...one of the COPs
Officers spoke with the property owner last week and advised them that they needed to clear it again.
302.4 Weeds.
All premises and exterior property shall be maintained free from weeds or plant growth in excess of[JURISDICTION TO
INSERT HEIGHT IN INCHES].All noxious weeds shall be prohibited. Weeds shall be defined as all grasses,annual plants
and vegetation, other than trees or shrubs provided; however, this term shall not include cultivated flowers and
gardens.
Upon failure of the owner or agent having charge of a property to cut and destroy weeds after service of a notice of
violation,they shall be subject to prosecution in accordance with Section 106.3 and as prescribed by the authority
having jurisdiction. Upon failure to comply with the notice of violation, any duly authorized employee of the jurisdiction
or contractor hired by the jurisdiction shall be authorized to enter upon the property in violation and cut and destroy the
weeds growing thereon, and the costs of such removal shall be paid by the owner or agent responsible for the property.

Jim,
FYI City Code Section 12-1 (11)only requires vacant lots to be cleared within 20 feet of ROW and adjacent
residential/business property. If there is a different code the police are aware of that has different requirements I would
like to be advised.Thanks
