In addition to the ordinary remedies available to the city, violations of this chapter may be enforced pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 1.15 and/or Chapter 7.24, including abatement of nonconforming hedge heights and the assessment of costs thereof against the property owner.

                (a)           Once a final hedge height claim action is rendered, and thirty days from the final action to remediate the offending hedge heights has expired without completion of the required remediation, the complainant may file a complaint with the city’s code enforcement division to enforce the action.

                (b)           With regard to all hedge height claim actions in which the subject hedges are determined to create a safety hazard, the owner of the offending hedges shall be given a maximum of thirty days from receipt of any code enforcement notification from the city to comply with the hedge height claim action. In the event that the hedge owner does not remedy the violation within the thirty-day timeframe, fines shall be assessed each day and collected, unless there are exceptional circumstances that prevent the completion of the required remediation, and the city may complete such remediation and assess the hedge owner for its costs.

                (c)           With regard to all hedge height claim actions, wherein the subject hedges are determined to obstruct views from or sunlight to the complainant’s property, the owner of such hedges shall be given a maximum of ninety days from receipt of any code enforcement notification from the city to comply with the hedge height claim action. In the event that the hedge owner does not remedy the violation within the ninety-day timeframe, fines shall be assessed each day and collected, unless there are exceptional circumstances that prevent the completion of the required remediation, and the city may complete such remediation and assess the hedge owner for its costs.
