§ 82.17 INVESTIGATION; NOTICE TO ABATE.
   (A)   The City Manager or his duly appointed agent, upon notice from any person, or upon their own observation, of the existence of any of the conditions described in § 82.16, shall cause to be made by the appropriate city official such investigation as may be necessary to determine whether, in fact, such conditions exist as to constitute a public nuisance as declared in such section.
   (B)   Upon a determination that such conditions constituting a public nuisance exist, the City Manager or his or her duly appointed agent shall notify, in writing, the owner, occupant, or person in possession of the premises in question of the conditions constituting the public nuisance and shall order the prompt abatement thereof within 15 days from the mailing of such written notice excepting violations of §§ 82.16(A)(1) and 82.16(E) which shall have ten days from the mailing of such written notice. Upon consultation with the offending party, the public official shall be allowed to use their discretion and allow a reasonable extension of the time to abate the nuisance.
   (C)   After being served a second nuisance warning given for the uncontrolled growth of vegetation, the property owner shall keep the growth on that lot under control for the duration of the growing season without any further warning from the city. If the owner shall fail to keep the growth under control for the remainder of the growing season, the city may mow same or seek other remedies without further warning. Wooded lots, or lots where the terrain does not allow use of necessary equipment, shall be exempted from abatement except on lots where equipment may maneuver around trees, bushes, and other natural obstructions.
