The notice shall include a demand that such deficiencies be cured within the time specified within the notice. If such deficiencies are not cured within the specified time, the City, in order to preserve the taxable values of the properties within the Planned Unit Development and to prevent the common open space from becoming a public nuisance, may enter upon the common open space and maintain the same and perform the other duties of the agency until such agency shall again resume its obligations. All costs incurred by the City in carrying out the obligations of the agency shall be assessed against the properties within the Planned Unit Development and shall become a tax lien on the properties.
