On the face of it I see no issue. There is always risk of any law being abused but sometimes you have to get hard ass with people to get them to clean up their property. Sounds like they are trying to clean up the town. Good for them.

Just so long as people are not required by law to have a grass lawn!

I have this semi problem with a rental property in CT. Im paying a guy a fortune to mow what lawn there is, trim the bushes, and generally keep the property in a state where it looks ok and the city is off my back. I consider it worth it to pay this guy, because he's reliable essentially, and he plows as well, so tenants are pleased with his service, but its $$$$.

At any rate, how im getting the bill lower is using ground cover plants like pachysandra that require zero maintenance. It looks great, doesn't have to be mowed, and is spectacular planted under trees and such.

Downside is no playability like grass and easily damaged by kids. So far ive got it planted on about half of a 2 acre properly, leaving the other half grass for tenant use. Has made a decent inroad on maintenance costs though.

I just recently removed an english box hedge violently and planted more pachysandra instead. Opened up the area, and got rid of the ailing box hedge. (those hedges just don't last forever like in England with the winters being harsher locally)

Something similar here. If you let your grass get too tall the county will come cut it for you... and hand you a nice big bill for doing the work.

I talked my way out of one of these fines when they discovered that the company which the city had "recommended" to do the work was bankrupt!

I am for keeping things clean, but the little city where my workshop is, now has two "esthetics enforcement officers" whose job is to make sure that everything "blends."

What a crock!

If they enforce this, I'm moving.

I'll knock down the building and plow the ground with salt.

Most of the residents of Massapequa Park are, shall we say La Canaille who are either struggling to stay afloat or non-resident landlords. Similar to many lower class Long Island locales.

I think he's wrong. It's Canada's fault.

these town and city zoning laws are pretty interesting.

This weekend i am taking a day trip out to Nantucket MA, which has a zoning law where every newly constructed building must be cedar shingled and a variation of colonial style, where it will weather to a nice uniform grey to maintain the island identity and prevent outlandish construction that offends historical precedence.

I think you have a very limited choice on trim color, but even then I think its like 2 or three colors, and predominantly white

The only buildings that are not required to do this are historic ancient buildings that were originally painted or brick.

Growing up, my Dad constantly threatened to pour concrete in the yard and paint it green.

I think the government needs to stay out of peoples lives. What part of the term "land OWNER" do they not understand? Problem is that too many people believe that the government owns your land, not the person that bought and paid for it. The pipeline companies certainly think that!
