[OMS_MANAGERS] FW: Landscaping Ordinance

[Karen Auborn]

Gold Beach (not a Main Street town) passed one probably about four years ago.  The ordinance essentially was for grass over 1 foot tall.  Harvey - I think you know Jody - their city manager.  (A somewhat similar ordinance was rejected by the city council in Port Orford because the city did not want to be responsible for keeping up overgrown city property).

Our City Council in Bandon is exploring adding an ordinance that would allow the City to pursue properties that are neglected to the point of being totally overgrown. They are not looking for anything draconian, just a way of putting a property owner on notice when the property becomes totally unsightly. And some way to resolve it when the property owner fails to take any followup action.
