A. No person shall permit any piece of property, platted or unplatted, regardless of type or zoning, owned, occupied or controlled by him, his agent or a person who has charge thereof, to become covered or overgrown with weeds, and the continued existence of such weeds, growths or accumulation of trash shall constitute a public nuisance.
B. Whenever private property abuts a public right-of-way or easement belonging to the City of Seminole, or any public entity, and there exists in such right-of-way or easement a tree lawn or grassy area between the private property line and the midline of said right-of-way or easement, then such tree lawn or grassy area shall be considered, for the purposes of this section requiring cutting of grass and weeds, to be a part of the private lot which abuts the right-of-way or easement, and it shall be the duty of those responsible under this section for the maintenance of the private lot to equally maintain the tree lawn or grassy area within the abutting right-of-way or easement, and all of the provisions of this section shall apply with equal force to said tree lawn or grassy area.
C. Nothing in these provisions shall preclude any offender from being cited with either criminal or civil penalties, or both, for said offense. (Ord. 1194, 9-13-2016)
