Dear citizens,
Dunsmuir City Council recently passed a Hazardous Vegetation and Combustible Material Abatement Ordinance. In section 8.05.030 it states:
“Upon receipt of a notice of violation and order to abate, it shall be the duty of every owner, occupant, and person in control of any improved or unimproved parcel of land or interest therein, which is located in the City Limits of the City of Dunsmuir as that territory is determined and classified by the City Council to abate there from, and from all parcels, roadways and parkways, except for those roads maintained by the City or county, all combustible material and hazardous vegetation, that constitutes a fire hazard which may endanger or damage neighboring property pursuant to the requirements of the notice of violation and order to abate received. The removal of vegetation pursuant to this chapter shall not exceed that set forth in the notice of violation and order to abate. The notice of violation and order to abate and any clearance shall conform to guidelines issued by the City fire chief, and which the fire chief may amend periodically.”
