The Ordinance states, in Section 70.020,that, "In residential districts, all materials and equipment shall be stored within a building or be fully screened so as not to be visible from adjoining properties... " The Ordinance further states, in Section 70.030,that, "In all zoning districts, all waste material, debris, refuse or garbage shall be kept in an enclosed building or properly contained in a closed container designed for such purposes. The owner of all land shall be responsible for keeping such land free of refuse and weeds. ... " 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 inspecting your property and citing you formally for a violation of the Ordinance, we would like the opportunity to work with you to correct this situation. We are requesting that by no later than May 10,2005,you remove or properly store the refuse and debris from this property. In other words,the garbage can and bags of garbage presently located at the end of your driveway need to be removed and fully screened on your property or located within a building.
