CITY OF HORICON ORDINANCE NO. 2024-13 AN ORDINANCE REPEALING SECTION 334-8, REGULATION OF LENGTH OF LAWN AND GRASSES, AND REPEALING AND RECREATING SECTION 334-6, NOXIOUS WEEDS, OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF HORICON THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HORICON DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 334-8 Regulation of Length of Lawn and Grasses is hereby repealed in its entirety. Section 334-6, Noxious Weeds, is hereby repealed and recreated to read as follows: § 334-6 Noxious weeds and rank growth. A. Purpose. This section is adopted due to the unique nature of the problem associated with lawns, grasses and noxious weeds being allowed to grow to excessive length in the City. B. Notice. The Weed Commissioner or their designee shall annually on or before May 15 publish as required by state law a notice that every person is required by law to destroy all noxious weeds or other rank growth on lands in the City which he/she owns, occupies or controls. A joint notice with other towns or municipalities may be utilized. C. Noxious weeds and rank growth defined. As provided for in § 66.0407, Wis. Stats., the City shall require that all noxious weeds shall be destroyed prior to the time in which such plants would mature to the bloom or flower state. The growth of noxious weeds and grass in excess of (6) six inches in height from the ground surface shall be prohibited with the City corporate limits. Noxious weeds and rank grasses shall include any weed, grass or similar plant growth which, if allowed to pollinate, would cause or produce hay fever in human beings or would cause a skin rash through contact with the skin. D. Public nuisance declared. The Common Council finds that grasses and noxious weeds on lots or parcels which exceed 6 inches in length adversely affect the public health and safety in that they tend to emit pollen and other discomforting bits of plants, and can constitute a fire hazard, and can interfere with the public convenience or affect property values of land within the City. Therefore, any noxious weed or grass on any parcel of land which exceeds (6) six inches in length is declared to be a public nuisance, except for property located in a designated floodplain and/or wetland area or where the lawn, grass or weed is part of a natural lawn approved pursuant to § 334-7 below. E. Notice; removal. If the owner or occupant fails or neglects to cut said grass or remove or destroy noxious weeds, then the Weed Commissioner or their designee shall cause a notice to be served upon the owner or occupant of any such premises and to demand the abatement of the nuisance within 48 hours from the date of said notice. Such notice shall be delivered by the City via door hangers placed on the front door of the occupied premises and via a letter mailed to the property owner. Notification will be made only on the first offense annually, any reoccurring violations during said growing season may be abated by the Weed Commissioner or their designee without notice. F. If the owner or occupant served with a notice of noxious weed and rank growth violation does not abate the nuisance within 48 hours; the Weed Commissioner or their designee may proceed to abate such nuisance. Costs incurred during the abatement shall be recorded and charged to the property owner. Costs included in the abatement shall also include an administrative fee of $25.00 for each notification provided, in addition to the administrative fees listed below: (1) First offense $0.00 (2) Second offense $100.00 (3) Third offense $200.00 (4) Fourth offense on $400.00 Administrative fees will be assessed only if the City is responsible for abating the public nuisance. An invoice for abatement of the public nuisance and/or the administrative fees shall be mailed to the owner of the premises. Said invoice is deemed a special tax under the provisions of § 66.0407 of the Wisconsin Statutes and if left unpaid will be entered onto the tax roll. G. Exemption. All City parks and large parcel commercial lots out of residential areas that support agricultural crops and are regularly maintained and limit noxious or rank growth to six inches are exempt. This ordinance shall become effective upon passage and publication as provided by law. Introduced by Alderperson Bandsma, this 23rd day of April 2024. /s/ Joshua Maas, Mayor ATTEST: /s/ Kristen M.
