When determined through investigation by the Village Administrator that weeds and other undesirable vegetation exceeding the height specified in § 95.20 hereof exist upon any land within the village, the Village Administrator shall cause written notice to be served upon the owner, and if different, upon the lessee, agent, tenant or other person having charge of such lots or lands, that such noxious weeds and/or weeds and grasses of rank growth must be cut and removed within five days after the completion of service of notice. In addition, such notice shall provide that if the property owner, lessee, agent tenant or other person having charge of such lots or land fails or refuses to cut said weeds and undesirable vegetation following notice provided pursuant to this section, and it becomes necessary for the village to cut and/or clean the same lot more than one time during any calendar year, the Administrator may order the lot or lots to be cut and/or cleaned without the necessity of further notice. Service upon the foregoing persons of the written notice shall be by United States certified mail at the property address or tax mailing address maintained by the County Treasurer for real estate tax billing purposes or by personal service. In the event that service of notice as above stated cannot be completed, then notice shall be given by publication once in a newspaper of general circulation in the village. Notice shall be deemed completed upon return of the signed certified mail receipt upon completion of personal service or upon date of publication of the notice in a newspaper.
