that there is a public nuisance created by weeds and combustible debris growing or accumulating upon the
streets, sidewalks and property within the City of Dublin. The property owner has been notified of the
abatement in years past. In 1997 a vegetation fire on the property threatened the homes that surround the
property. The owner and Staff have met on the property and discussed the requirements of the abatement
since 1999. The Owner was again notified this year of the violations and ordered to abate the property.
The property located at and adjacent to 11481 Bloomington Way, Dublin was posted with the Notice to
Abate. An Abatement Notice was mailed to the property owner Mr. Syed Rukhsana Bukhari. A partial
abatement was completed by the Owner, the site inspected by Fire Prevention staff and the Owner advised

the abatement were received. The City contracted with Andy's Brush Clearing Service to complete the
abatement. The abatement started on August 2 and was completed on August 15, 2002. The Owner was
billed $7,670 for the cost to have the weeds and refuse removed. An inspection fee of $240 was added to
the initial cost of abatement by contractor to cover the cost of site inspections and administration of the
abatement contract.
The property owner has not paid for the cost of abatement and has been notified of the time and date of
this hearing by Certified Mail - Return Receipt Requested. Notice of Hearing on Report and Assessment
for Weed and Refuse Abatement was posted as required in section 5.70.090 of the Municipal Code.
Staff recommends that the Council conduct a public hearing and: 1) hear testimony from Staff regarding
cost of abatement; 2) hear and consider objections to this assessment for abatement from property owners;
and 3) adopt a resolution confirming the Report and Assessment List and direct Staff to order the
