The Ordinance states, in Section 70.030,that, "The owner of all land shall be responsible for keeping such land free of refuse and weeds. . . In the Residential districts, lawn must be maintained and mowed. If grass is allowed to grow to a height of 6 inches or more, the City may contract to have it mowed and the owner will be charged for the costs incurred. " The Ordinance further states, in Section 70.030, that, "Passenger vehicles and trucks in an inoperative state due to age, damage or malfunction shall not be parked outside in a residential district for a period exceeding seven days; inoperative shall mean incapable of movement under its own power and in need of repair or junking, and shall include unlicensed vehicles and vehicles incapable of legal movement on public roads. " I have been to your property and taken the enclosed pictures. If these pictures accurately depict the condition of your property, I would have to find that you are in violation of these two provisions of the Ordinance. As opposed to formally citing you for a violation of the Ordinance,we would like the opportunity to work with you to correct the situation. We are requesting that by no later than June 14,2005,you mow your grass and maintain a neat yard for the remainder of the season. In addition,we are requesting that by no later than June
