All landscaping shall be properly maintained so as to preserve planting in a live state and free of noxious weeds. " The Ordinance further states, in Section 17-7.6,VISUAL STANDARDS,that "No use shall create, maintain or continue any activity or structure which has a strong negative visual impact. . . " I have been to your property and taken the enclosed picture. If this picture accurately depicts the condition of your property, I would have to find that you are in violation of these 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 August 25,2008,you mow the grass and maintain a neat yard for the remainder of the season.
