For safety reasons, give them a deadline to address. If they do not then we can have the crews do it. The property owner may ask for some direction so offer it in advance so they trim once and everyone is happy. Rule of thumb is speed limit times 10 for sight distance. You measure back 250 feet, go out into the lane (not getting run over) and then identify how much to trim back. Thanks.

Ok – I have a note going out tomorrow (see attached) requesting the owner to advise on the situation quickly. If we don’t hear back in a few days I’ll put it back up on the crew’s work order list.

I think we can run these cases through Code Enforcement. However, there are special cases where it is in the interest of the public to not wait for the homeowner / code enforcement wheel to turn (it can be slow, and protest-able) In those cases we must cut them back. I think this 20mph radar reader by the school zone on Toliver is one we shouldn’t wait too long for. If you feel the code enforcement wheel is going to take more than a week or so to get results, then we’ll bounce this work order back to the Crew’s board.

Andy – yes. Though we’ve done it in the past, per code, maintaining obstructing vegetation falls to the homeowner which is why they bounced it. I have a few more cases I’ll be sending out letters to shortly. Please advise on how to handle these generally. In this case, it may make more sense for us to offer. Homeowners don’t always understand what to do for sign obstruction.

Dan, the crew bounced this work order to me, they feel it’s a code enforcement issue. It might be the nicest way to handle it, as the home owner has carefully landscaped here. Would you like to take a look? If you feel Code isn’t the right approach let me know and we’ll go out and cut the bushes back.
Thanks,
Andy
