IMPORTANT NOTICE – Code Violation Abatement Action Needed
Dear Property Owner:
We are contacting you because the city has determined that your property is in violation of the requirements of the City of Central Point Municipal Code Chapter 12.20.020.A.5. This
letter accompanies an Administrative Citation issued by the City of Central Point in accordance with the municipal code. Please carefully read this letter and the enclosed citation.
This letter outlines steps you must take to clean-up your property and to avoid an assessment of fees if the city performs the clean-up.
This citation can be dismissed if the listed property is brought into compliance prior to 5:00 pm on the 15th day from the date of this letter. If you fail to comply a fine will be imposed
and the costs set forth below will be assessed.
After expiration of the 15-days, the citation becomes fully enforceable and the City of Central Point Public Works Department will arrange for removal or pruning of the shrub and related
landscaping as described in Municipal Code 8.08.020. The fees for removal/pruning are based on costs to the City to abate the nuisance, and shall include an abatement fee, which is
established by City resolution for costs of administration.
If these fees are not paid, a lien will be filed against the property and will accrue interest at the rate of 7% per year from date of entry until paid.
APPEAL RIGHTS: Within 10-days after this notice is mailed, any owner or occupant may file with the City Recorder a written statement specifying the basis for contending no nuisance exists.
The written statement shall include the facts upon which the owner or occupant relies for relief from the obligations of this chapter in relation to the property. The City Manager
will then determine whether a nuisance exists. If the city manager finds that it would work a real and unnecessary hardship upon the owner or occupant to comply with the terms of this
chapter, then the city manager may relieve said person of the obligations of the chapter in relation to the particular property, but nothing therein shall be construed as obligating
the city to remove or abate the nuisance without charging the cost as a lien against the said property. The city manager will mail a decision to the owner or occupant within 15-days
of the city’s receipt of such written statement. The owner or owner’s agent may appeal the city manager’s findings to the city council as provided in CPMC 8.08.020.
Sincerely,
Matt Samitore, Public Works Director
City of Central Point, Oregon
