., Y <br /> VEGETATION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FIELD TOUR <br /> October 11, 1989 <br /> PROBLEM EXAMPLES <br /> 1. Undeveloped lot on Seneca Rd. north of R.R. tracks <br /> Problem: Large undeveloped lot is totally fenced, enforced abatement <br /> would require using hand labor to climb fence resulting in a significant <br /> increase in contracted labor costs. <br /> 2. Undeveloped lot on W. 5th west of Conger <br /> Problem: Large undeveloped lot is covered with piles of debris, enforced <br /> abatement with tractor mower was insufficient to correct the problem. <br /> Further enforced abatement would require using hand labor around debris <br /> piles resulting in a significant increase in contracted labor costs. <br /> 3. Undeveloped lot @ northwest corner of W. 7th & Commercial <br /> Problem: Small berm along the back of the right -of -way of both streets <br /> causes a vision problem at this corner. Enforced abatement with tractor <br /> mower was insufficient to totally remove problem. Further abatement would <br /> require using hand labor which would again result in higher contracted <br /> labor costs and a larger bill to the owner. This lot was a chronic source <br /> of citizen complaints, was the site of a traffic accident, and was brought <br /> to the attention of the Mayor and the CMO. <br /> 4. Undeveloped lot on Park Forest Dr. <br /> Problem: Small lot has very rough terrain making it impossible to abate <br /> with a tractor. Enforced abatement would require hand labor. <br /> 5. Hillside lots on Soloman Lp. & Lasater Blvd. <br /> Problem: Residential lots above and below hillside streets are impossible <br /> to abate with tractor mowing. This particular area is the source of many <br /> citizen complaints. Enforced abatement would require using hand labor on <br /> these lots. Local neighbors in this area are unhappy with City policy <br /> regarding lack of enforcement due to terrain restrictions. <br /> 6. Undeveloped lot on Tiarra St. <br /> Problem: Rough terrain is impossible to mow with tractor, same problem <br /> as example # 4. <br /> 7. Lorane Hwy. <br /> Problem: Abutting property owners are failing to maintain vegetation in <br /> City right -of -way. The large number of properties in violation and the <br /> difficulty involved in their correct identification has resulted in a lack <br /> of enforcement due to time restrictions. <br />
