Trash cans knocked over with dumped trash blocking sidewalk and street
During a Weed Wrangle at Clear Creek, we came upon some large debris that was too much for us to carry out. I've included a pic of the debris. The pile can be found near the creek. My geographical coordinates when I stood near the pile were: 39°08'05.7"N 86°33'40.4"W. To get there, follow the paved path south of the Tapp Rd parking lot for about 0.10 miles. There is a foot path that heads west into the woods. Follow the path until it's past the limestone blocks, then head north off the path toward the creek. The red cooler is easy to spot now that the leaves are down.
The construction crew working on the house next door is throwing loose trash into our trash can, which I will have to dig out and put in a bag as all items in trash cans need to be bagged. These are the same individuals who moved our trash from from the street before it was picked up and blocked it with their car.
Collecting and disposing of two plots’ worth of yard waste into easement — mounds toward the back of the address can be seen from street. Accumulation of leaves so great that water floods all adjacent yards after any amount of rain. Last year, at last, property owner paid for leaf removal that took 3 days for a team of 6 to clear tons of waste from his many years of accumulation. He warned all neighbors that he would not consider lawful disposal of leaves this year, instead chooses to fill the easement. Owner understands he is littering while flooding our yards. He also understands the accumulation is too deep and too huge to be considered composting. We are at a loss.
Thick layer of uncleared leaves on sidewalk. Portentoso slipping hazard when wet
Address is most likely 306 N. Jefferson. Many large black bags of trash in between the 2 buildings (302 N. Jefferson), but are against 306.
Large leaf piles blown into street from property instead of bagging
601 Maxwell Lane is a house zoned as a rental property but may be in violation of occupancy restrictions. The house consistently has 5 plus cars in the side driveway, on occasion blocking the alley that runs behind S Fess Ave. Garbage is consistently in front of the house, on the lawn and surrounding areas, and parties from the house leave garbage along the alley and on nearby property. At present, there is broken glass in the driveway/alleyway where cars enter the alley from Maxwell Lane, which was presumably broken during a party last evening (with noise complaints filed by neighbors).
The "Stone Mansion" on Washington has damage to the stone wall. It's a historic structure, so I hope it is fixed with regards to that and not a cheap fix.
Lawn hasn't been mowed since sometime last year. In the back there's even a fallen tree that was never cleaned up. No leaf cleanup has been done for well over a year, so leaves blow onto other neighbors' lawns. A brush pile in the front by oak tree obstructs view from driveways. Poison ivy in multiple spots, which now appears in neighbors' yards. Also, have seen snakes and they also appear in neighbors' yards. Additionally, more ticks seem to be around than in years past. Many of us in the neighborhood have children and grandchildren, so this is disturbing, as well as being an eyesore and potentially negatively impacting home sale prices. Thank you.
