I agree with the comments above posted by "citizen". If code enforcement needs more tools in order to carry out our need to protect our water quality and quality of life, I think you'll find a large group of supportive people in town and out. Our city is already facing large outlays to remediate nutrient transport into the lake. Here's some "low hanging fruit" that, if enforced, would give us better water quality for fewer dollars. I'd rather the city had primacy of enforcement than the DEC.
Thanks! You are so right...I know this isn't an easy fix as it's distributed around the city but there is example after example of where previous code enforcement officers have mandated all sorts of barriers, some attractive (like hedgerows) some not, like fences, but in all cases, it's brought back the grass and reduced run off -- things that save our lake and also save lots of $$ in sewage treatment. Agree that the city can and should do this enforcement.
There are photos that show this has been a double wide driveway for more than 20 years. The 15 year statute of limitations apply and this, if it were deemed a zoning violation, is unenforceable.
