The <br />Respondents were cited as maintaining their property in violation <br />of Section 13-18(a)(1), of the County Code, which prohibits the <br />accumulation- of weeds and grasses in excess of 18 inches in <br />height within a platted subdivision (where the lots are at a <br />minimum of 50% developed). <br />The weed and grass violation was not remedied within the thirty <br />(30) day time period. Therefore, in accordance with Section <br />13-19(b), of the County Code, County personnel (ie: County Road & <br />Bridge Division) abated the weed and grass violation, with the <br />costs to be assessed against the property owner. <br />Section 13-21 of the County Code requires that the cost of a <br />County weed nuisance abatement shall be calculated and reported <br />to the County Commissioners, who, by resolution, shall assess <br />such costs against the property. This matter is presented herein <br />to the Board for consideration to adopt said resolution. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: <br />Section 13-21(a), Public Nuisance, of the Code of Laws and <br />Ordinances of Indian River County specifically reads as follows: <br />"After abatement of nuisance by the county, the cost <br />thereof to the county as to each lot, parcel or tract <br />of land shall be calculated and reported to the board <br />of county commissioners. Thereupon, the board of <br />county commissioners, by resolution, shall assess such <br />costs against such lot, parcel or tract of land. Such <br />56 <br />
