~ ° <br /> IT'S TIME TO CUT TALL GRASS AND WEEDS <br /> Mowed lawns and trimmed weeds not only make a neighborhood attractive, they make <br /> it safer. To reduce the traffic and fire hazards caused by tall grass and weeds, the Ciry of <br /> III Eugene will take action beginning June 15 to make sure that overgrown grass and weeds and <br /> other forms of obnoxious vegetation are controlled on vacant lots. <br /> Property owners are responsible for keeping grass and weeds below 10 inches in height <br /> and for removing blackberry vines or other obnoxious vegetation that extends into a public <br /> way, impairs motorists' visibility, or crosses a property line. <br /> On undeveloped properties, the City may remove obnoxious vegetation between June <br /> 15 and September 30 without further notice. Vegetation that blocks the visibility of motorists <br /> f must be removed immediately, regardless of the season. <br /> For developed properties, the nuisance ordinances are in effect throughout the year and <br /> deal with vegetation conditions such as: trees and shrubs that obstruct streets, alleys, and <br /> III, sidewalks; visual obstructions at street and alley intersections; and blackberries encroaching <br /> over property lines. If a violation is found on developed property, the owner is notified by <br /> II letter and has 10 days to correct the problem. <br /> 'I If the property owner does not correct a violation, the City will hire a contractor to <br /> II mow or remove the nuisance, and the costs will be billed to the property owner. The City's <br /> minimum mowing charge is $182.50. In some cases, the cost may be higher, especially if <br /> much of the work must be done by hand. <br /> For more information, ca11687-5220. <br /> <br /> Pt~lic Works • Administration • City of Eugene • 858 Pearl Street • Eugene, OR 97401 • Phone: (541) 687-5262 • FAX: (541) 683-6826 <br /> <br />
