    CITY CODE ENFORCEMENT INFORMATION

    Addendum to General Meeting minutes (Feb. 20, 2024)
    The code violations I went over are as follows:
    Overgrown grass/weeds - Any grass or weeds exceeding 12 inches is in violation, applying to both occupied and unoccupied properties
    Garbage/rubbish - All properties should be free of an accumulation of garbage and rubbish. This applies to interiors of properties as well as exterior
    Outside placement - Properties cannot store interior items or materials on the exterior of their property. This code also applies to items such as brush, building materials, or scrap
    Front/side yard parking - no vehicle should be parked on the front or side yards of a property if not on an improved surface. Examples of improved surfaces include concrete, asphalt, and gravel, so long as the gravel is at least 3 inches in depth and has a barrier. This ordnance applies to trailers as well as vehicles. Junk/Inoperable vehicles - Vehicles that are visually inoperable have 30 days to be removed after being deemed inoperable by the code enforcement officer. After the 30 day period has elapsed, towing proceedings will begin, which can take some time. Evidence for inoperability can include flat tires or the vehicle being dismantled or wrecked. An expired registration can help determine inoperability, but is not enough evidence on its own.
    Oversized vehicles - Recreational vehicles may be stored on residential property so long as the are 15 feet away from where the curb meets the street. Other oversized vehicles may be parked in a residential area for a period of 48 hours for the purposes of trip preparation. Besides the exception of trip preparation, commercial vehicles are not permitted to be stored in a residential area.
    Storage pods - On this point I need to correct what I stated at the meeting. At the meeting I stated that the limit for storage pods was 30 days, when it is actually 60 days from the point the code officer observes it. I apologize for any confusion that may have caused.
    If you have any other questions or need to clear anything up, please let me know.

    Our Website History

    This web site started as a means for opposing the SA Airport's FAR 150 update proposal that suggested that heavy air traffic be re-directed 15 degrees to fly "over the Cement Plant".     The only problem with that solution is that WE are on the other side of that Cement Plant. Although the FAA rejected that plan in 2001, in March of 2004 the Northern Hills Homeowner's Association had learned that the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) proposed the Airport still included the 15 degree turn. In February of 2005, we were notified that were successful getting the 15 degree turn removed from the EIS.



    All residents are strongly encouraged to join NHHA.
