The City Commission finds the failure to cut and mow grass and weeds in the City creates a nuisance. Such failure to act is harmful to the health and well- being and is contrary to the general welfare of the residents. Specifically, the failure to mow the grass and cut weeds in the City:
(A) Creates a nuisance in that weeds are permitted to seed and spread onto the lawns of neighbors.
(B) Creates a health hazard in the lawns overgrown with weeds and contributes to the amount and spread of pollen, affecting those who suffer from allergies.
(C) Affects property appearances and thus the value of adjoining properties.
(D) Creates a danger of crime where unkept lawns may give rise to an assumption that premises are unoccupied.
(E) Creates an environment to which rodents and other undesirable pests are attracted.
(F) Affects the public welfare by reflecting negatively on the City and its citizens.
