Title
Discussion of amendments to Lake County Public Nuisance Ordinance related to "non-customary outdoor storage".
Staff Summary
· In September 2014, the County Board adopted amendments to the Nuisance Ordinance authorizing the routine abatement of junk and debris on private property.
· In its new abatement program, the Department has determined that this routine abatement mechanism is impractical in cases of larger accumulations of junk and debris and other materials.
· The Department has drafted new amendments to the Ordinance classifying "non-customary outdoor storage" as a nuisance and authorizing the abatement thereof.
· The amendments are presented for discussion at the January 6 Committee meeting; the item will be presented for action at the February Committee meeting.
