Are you entitled to a free pass on the height of your uncut lawn if you happen to buy a lot from the city?

The lot where the fire barn was once  proposed, on the corner of Dowland  & Emily Streets is looking a little shaggy.

Like 2 feet worth of shaggy.

Do City Manager Shay give you special dispensation from this regulation if you buy a lot from the City?

Is this another City Hall wink wink, nod nod look the other way?

Is there immunity from the regulation written into the property description?

More of the good old boy back scratching going on.

And when the City contracts someone to cut the "lawn" how close do they cut it?

If it is 18 inches high is the outfit contracted to cut it down take it down to 2 inches or do they cut it to 8 inches so that they will have to be redone again after the next rain?

The people the city contracts to do the cutting are they compensated by the hour or by the square footage?

Seems like if it was by the hour, one guy with a push mower set really high could really milk this job all summer.

  Could it be:    Do as I say, not as I do.     How is the bowling alley "Garden" weed growth?

I go by the 428 E Dowland property everyday, and haven't seen that hayfield cut yet.

Daryl Wever brought the back two lots in December 2016 for $30K then brought the two northernmost lots four months later for the same price.  The City originally brought the four lots for $95,000 with intentions of putting a fire station on it and have spent a lot on environmental studies when they brought it and sold it.  It's been neglected since Wever lives out of state and doesn't seem to have a reliable landscaper hired.

The bowling alley block is undeveloped and has patches of areas where the grass and weeds are too high.  Indications are the block will be undeveloped for awhile, just like 428 E Dowland.
