The town may also allow for exceptions to § 93.02 to enable town residents to maintain grass on their property in excess of six inches if the town determines, after a reasonable inquiry, that the purpose of doing so is for baling hay. The town retains the right to refuse exceptions to either division (A) or § 93.02 depending on the circumstances of each request, and in accordance with this town code and Indiana law.
(C) The town, its designees or employees shall be responsible for enforcing the terms of this section and make inspections to determine violations and to take all necessary action to enforce this section. The town, its designees or employees shall have discretion to enforce this section in accordance with this town code and Indiana law.
