"inundated with telephone calls" regarding grass
complaints. While many people are doing a great job of keeping their lawns
mowed and their neighbors happy there are a fair number of folks who are
not, Fenske said. The code office said while most residents do mow the
front lawn many are neglecting to mow rear and side yards as well as the tree
curb (that area between the sidewalk and street). Neighbors are complaining that the are having
unwanted pests as a result of this situation. Snakes and some of our furry
friends love the tall grass and weeds.
The Property Maintenance Code requires that
grass and weeds must be kept under the 10” mark in all yards within the
Village. Continued code violations can result in legal action and fines. "The Village would like to avoid having to
take this step," Fenske added.
