(a) Upon a finding by the Village Council that litter has been placed on lands in the Village and has not been removed, and constitutes a detriment to public health, the Village Council shall cause a written notice to be served upon the owner and, if different, upon the lessee, agent, or tenant having charge of the littered land, notifying him or her that litter is on the land, and that it must be collected and removed within three days after the service of the notice.
(b) If the owner or other person having charge of the land is a nonresident of the Village whose address is known, the notice shall be sent to his or her address by certified mail. If the address of the owner or other person having charge of the land is unknown, it is sufficient to publish the notice once in a newspaper of general circulation in the Village.
(c) This section does not apply to land being used under a municipal building or construction permit or license, a municipal permit or license, or a conditional zoning permit or variance to operate a junk yard, scrap metal processing facility, or similar businesses, or a permit or license issued pursuant to Part Eleven of the Codified Ordinances of the Village.
