Weed ordinance - Mr. Hughes passed out a copy ofthe old ordinance that addressed keeping vacant

lots工n -Minnesott-Beaeh- Cleared- Of noxious- grOWth. - Currently壷-the ordinaneesぅany lot-With -a-StruCture

On it has to be cleared at least 3 times per year: June, August & October. Mr. Rubel asked why the

ordinance was removed. Commissioner Fowler said he it was removed when the new Ordinances were

Written. Mr. Hughes suggested a “cleared vacant lot’’be included in the ordinances. Mr. Rubel

recommended “any improved lot must be maintained.” He also asked about lots that in “natural state”

and have never been cleared. Mr. Ha11 asked how to legislate the clearing ofvacant lots. Mr. Rubel

Said the town is better offnot having overgrown lots. Mr. Garfinkel asked what would be the standards

to which the owners of「ots be held to clear away noxibus growth. Mr. Rubel sald Way屯rer’s Coveii

in violation of the current ordinance because there are numerous structures on that property and nothing

has been done to keep the noxious growth cleared. Mr. Rubel asked is this something that benefits the

town to extend the ordinance to include “a cleared or improved lot” from a lot with a dwelling: Section

91.02 Property to be kept clean. Mr. Rubel said the order would be a natural state, Cleared or improved.

Mr. Rubel said premise is a very broad tem and could mean an unimproved lot and/or a dwelling. Mr.

Garfinkel said the tem premises needs to be defined or replaced・ Mr. Ha11 moved to table the matter so

the board can establish a better definition for premises. All ayes.
