48 Property Maintenance Program Enforces property related aspects of Chapter 15, Nuisances and Property Maintenance revised and adopted in December,

49 Why was the New Chapter 15 ordinance adopted in December of 2007? From 2001 to 2006, the County Development Committee, township officials and residents regularly discussed property maintenance issues in the unincorporated areas, especially in areas adjacent to municipalities. Chairman McConnaughay established the Property Maintenance Advisory Committee in September of

51 Kane County Property Maintenance Advisory Committee Property Maintenance Advisory Committee Meetings and Process From January 2007 to September 2007, the Property Maintenance Advisory Committee met six times. Over the course of these meeting the committee: Reviewed the basic property maintenance issues and enforcement Defined what issues are most important to the unincorporated areas of Kane County 5

67 Identification of issues and review of ordinances and model codes After review and discussion, the consensus of the PMAC was that revisions to the County s existing ordinances were preferred over an amended version of a model code. Existing ordinances address specific issues unique to Counties with rural and urban areas that are not specifically addressed in model codes. Model codes include interior building code items and were not recommended for County enforcement at this time. 21

68 Current County Ordinance The current ordinance is a combination of: adopting the current Chapter 15, Nuisances and Property Maintenance removing related portions from other chapters of the County Code 22

69 Improvements to previous County ordinances: Consolidated all nuisance language into one chapter Improved the content and language of definitions and declared nuisances Organized the nuisances into related categories Exterior Property Areas Open Burning Noise Animals and Infestations Structures (limited to the exterior except for dangerous conditions and inside refuse and garbage) 23

70 Significant changes and improvements to previous County ordinances, continued: Added the exterior condition of buildings and structures Revised the exemptions from agriculturally zoned to agriculturally zoned and used properties Does not exempt agriculturally exempt structures once they are no longer used for agricultural purposes 24

71 Enforcement Adoption in 2007 anticipated creating a new position for full time enforcement, but the position was never budgeted Currently jointly enforced by four departments Development Health Animal Control Sheriff Complaints entered in KPASS and enforcement coordinated between the departments 25
