George Routh, representing the violator, agreed the grass is very high. He
stated the City sodded the area in July. He questioned the City1s right to require

as rodents are attracted to high grass and overgrowth. She also stated the entire
property is in violation, not just the right of way.

to Mr. Routh requesting he specify what law causes Section 95.04(b) of the City Code
