Landowners shall be exempt from the requirements of this chapter if, as a result of circumstances beyond their control, the landowners are prevented from controlling the height of turf grass and/or rank vegetation on their property because of a hardship. A landowner may apply in writing to the city for a hardship determination. HARDSHIP means that because of steep slopes or standing water it is not feasible to maintain the area. The city staff shall review the property and determine whether a hardship exists. The decision of city staff may be appealed by the landowner to the City Administrator by filing a written appeal within ten days of the designee’s decision.
