Press Release <br /> Lawn Maintenance <br /> The City of Pequot Lakes has embarked on a program of concentrated code enforcement <br /> as it relates to mowing lawns. The program is a positive effort to improve property <br /> values and quality of life in our neighborhoods. <br /> The City Code states in Chapter i�-7.4 MAINTENANCE that "Ail struciures shall be <br /> properly maintained in a clean and acceptable manner so as not to constitute a <br /> menace to the public health,safety, conuenience,general welfare,property ualues and <br /> aesthetics." Include new language regarding turf grass. <br /> Our new enforcement policy is meant to streamline the process to resolve un-mowed <br /> lawns. The City will mail one (i)letter to the property owner notifying them of the <br /> violation. The letter will state the lawn will�ieed to be mowed within ten (lo) days and <br /> continue to be maintained for the remai�iier of the season. If the property owner fails to <br /> mow the lawn by the date indicated the City will iss�e an Adrninistrative Citation in the <br /> amount of$ioo.00. Failure by the property owner to keep the lawn maintained will <br /> result in additional Administrative Citations. Failure to pay the fine(s)will result in the <br /> fines being assessed against the property as provided in Minnesota Statute 429. For <br /> uncorrected or continued violations,the City will have the lawn mowed and assess the <br /> charges to the property owner for doing so. <br /> If anyone has questions regarding this new policy, please contact Dawn at 218-568- <br /> 6699• <br />
