BACKGROUND
On August 23, 1991, Mr. Richard Burl�e of Security Pacific Business
Credit, owner of the vacant lot at 200 E1 Camino Real, was notified
by mail of the existence of a public nuisance violation at that
location and was ordered to clear the weeds which were observed at
the property. On September 9, 1991,* Mr. Burke was sent a second
notice by mail to clean his property of the weed violation. A
reinspection, by City staff, on (October 1, 1991, proved the
violations continued to be present. A Final Notice to Clean
Premises was sent by mail and posted on the vacant lot at 200 E1
Camino Real on October 9, 1991. That Final Notice warned the owner
that failure to remove the violation would result in abatement by
the City at the expense of the owner.
DISCUSSION
Tustin City Code sections 4417 and 4418 permit the City to initiate
removal.of weeds and debris nuisances with an assessment against
the property to recover costs. Upon failure of the owner to remove
the violation, a work order was sent on October 21, 1991, to the
Public Works Department to clear Mr. Burke's property of the weeds
and debris. The work was completed by Custom Country Landscaping
on October 24, 1991 and invoiced to the City as follows:
