(A) The Town Administrator or his or her 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 town 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 Town Administrator or his or her duly appointed agent shall notify, in writing, the owner, occupant or person in possession of the subject premises of the conditions constituting the public nuisance and may issue a civil citation for a penalty as set forth in § 10.08(A) of this code. The Town Administrator or his or her duly appointed agent shall also order the prompt abatement of the conditions constituting the public nuisance within 15 days after the mailing of such written notice excepting violations of § 82.16(E) which shall require abatement of the nuisance within ten days after the mailing of such written notice. Upon consultation with the offending party, the public official may, in their discretion, allow a reasonable extension of 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 town. If the owner shall fail to keep the growth under control for the remainder of the growing season, the town 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.
