Should the city determine any such container to be an eyesore, health threat, or nuisance, the owner shall, within seven days of receiving notice from the city of such determination, enclose any such container that is not always situated or enclosed within a building, by means of a solid six foot screening device, such as a fence or a wall, so as to be completely concealed on three sides with only one side left open for accessibility by the collection crews.
