[Ord. No. 94-35 §63.330, 12-20-1994]
It shall be unlawful for the owner of any parcel of ground located within the Corporate City limits of the City to allow dumping upon the premises, or permit a condition to continue to exist after being declared a nuisance under Section 215.260, of any refuse, debris, dirt, clay, tile, broken concrete, garbage, or any other substance without obtaining written permission to do so and upon good cause shown, by the Building Inspector of the City of Carl Junction.
[Ord. No. 94-37 §63.340, 12-20-1994]
A.
Whenever
debris, refuse, and the like are allowed to be dumped upon any parcel
of ground within the City in violation of this Chapter, the Mayor,
or his/her designated agent, acting for the Board of Aldermen, shall
give notice to the owner that they shall have ten (10) days notice
before the dump site is declared a nuisance and if the owner has not
abated the problem within five (5) days after such declaration, the
City will remove the offensive material. Said notice shall be given
personally or by United States mail to the owner or agent, or by posting
such notice on the premises.
B.
If
the material upon the dump site has not been removed within ten (10)
days, the Mayor or his/her agent shall make a determination whether
the owner is in violation of this Chapter and if a violation has occurred,
order such violation to be abated within five (5) days. If abatement
of the violation has not occurred within the five (5) days, the Mayor
or his/her agent shall have the material upon the dump site removed,
and shall certify the cost of such removal to the Board of Aldermen
for assessment. The Board of Aldermen shall then cause a special tax
bill thereof against the property to be prepared and to be collected
by the Collector, with other taxes assessed against the property.
The tax bill from the date of its issuance shall be a first (1st)
lien on the property until paid and shall be a prima facie evidence
of the recitals therein and of its validity, and no mere clerical
error or informality in the same, or in the proceedings leading up
to the issuance, shall be a defense thereto. Special tax bills may
include attorney fees not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the total
cost of abatement of the nuisance. Each special tax bill shall be
issued by the City Clerk on behalf of the Board of Aldermen and delivered
to the Collector on or before the first (1st) day of June of each
year. Such tax bills, if not paid when due shall bear interest at
the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum.
[Ord. No. 94-36 §63.350, 12-20-1994]
It shall be unlawful for any person to dump or allow dumping
of materials set forth in this Article upon property owned or occupied
within the corporate City limits in violation of this Article. Any

nor more than five hundred dollars ($500.00), or by imprisonment for
five (5) days, or by both such fine and imprisonment at the discretion
of the court.
