As these containers sometimes accumulate excess items <br />that do not fit (trash bags or other items meant for disposal or recycling), the proposed ordinance requires <br />them to be placed in the rear yard and out of view from the public right-of-way. Placing the containers out of <br />view of the public will minimize the visual nuisances the excess materials can create. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />None <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Improve citizen quality of life <br /> <br />Attachments <br />1.
