Public Nuisance; Community Develo me Director Assessment for Abatement THROUGH: Roland M. DeBlois'94AP RE: CV -89-05-156 Chief, Environmental Planning It is requested that the data presented herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of May•23, 1989. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: On February 9, 1989, Code Enforcement staff sent a Notice of Public Nuisance to Federal National Mortgage Assoc. concerning the overgrown weed condition of their property in Clearview Terrace Subdivision. The respondents were cited as maintaining their property in violation of Section 13-18(a)(1) of the County Code, which prohibits the accumulation of weeds in excess of 18 inches in height within a platted, recorded subdivision (where the lots are at a minimum of 50% developed). The subject property was also posted as set forth in Section 13-23 of the County Code, giving the Respondents thirty (30) days to abate the weed nuisance. The weed violation was not abated within the required thirty (30) day time period. Therefore, in accordance with Section 13-19(b), County Code, County Personnel (i.e., Road & Bridge Division) cleared the weed violation, with costs to be assessed against the property owners. Section 13-21 of the County Code requires that the cost of a County weed nuisance abatement shall be calculated and reported to the County Commissioners, who, by resolution, shall assess such costs against the subject property. This matter is presented herein to the Board for consideration to adopt said resolution. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: Section 13-21(a), Public Nuisances, of the Code of Laws and Ordinances of Indian River County specifically reads as follows: "After abatement of nuisance by the county, the cost thereof to the county as to each lot, parcel or tract of land shall be calculated and reported to the Board of County Commissioners. Thereupon, the Board of County Commissioners by resolution, shall assess such costs against such lot, parcel, or tract of land. Such resolution shall describe the land and state the cost of abatement, which shall include an administrative cost of seventy-five dollars ($75.00) per lot. 6
