D. The front yard or any lawn areas visible from any public way and
surrounding properties shall be properly maintained such that they are
evenly cut, evenly edged, free of bare or brown spots, free of debris,
stumps and weeds above the level of the lawn. All planted areas
other than lawns shall be free of weeds, dead vegetation and debris.
Any trees and shrubs shall be trimmed so they do not impede
pedestrian traffic along the public sidewalk or intrude into neighboring
property or have droppings or create other nuisances to neighboring
property. Any trees shall be root pruned to eliminate exposed surface
roots and damage to sidewalks, driveways and structures.
E. The property shall be maintained in such a manner as to avoid the
reasonable determination of a duly authorized official of the City that a
public nuisance has been created by the absence of adequate
maintenance, or that such a condition of deterioration is materially
detrimental to property values or improvements within the boundaries
of the Bellewick-Ranchwood Homeowners Association.
III. The Planning Commission hereby directs that if the order to abate the public
nuisance conditions identified in Section II of the Resolution, has not been
completed within the time frame allotted, the City shall immediately cause the
same to be abated by City personnel or private contract. The owner of the
property at 13151 Ranchwood Road shall be responsible to the City for all
costs incurred by the City of Tustin to date and the cost of abatement.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Planning Commission, held on
the 261h day of May, 1998.
