§ 13-24. Prohibition.

Weeds and grass in excess of eight inches in length on any occupied or unoccupied lot or parcel of land less than one acre in size in the City of Chanhassen is a public nuisance and is prohibited. On vacant property where it would be physically difficult to mow because of topography or other physical constraints, the height limitation on weeds and grass shall only apply to a ten-foot wide strip abutting the lot line of the property. Noxious weeds or plants, as identified and defined by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, are also a public nuisance and are prohibited. Native grasses and wild flowers indigenous to Minnesota, planted and maintained on any occupied lot or parcel of land as part of a garden or landscape treatment, are exempt from this article.
