(c) Nothing in this Section 551.05 shall be construed to require the City to make separate assessments or issue separate notices of assessment or certifications to the Montgomery County Auditor for each weed removal or grass cutting that may occur with respect to any particular property. In the case of vacant properties or other lots or lands that may incur multiple assessments within a single growing season, the City may elect to combine assessments, notices of assessment, and/or certifications to the Montgomery County Auditor with respect to any particular property, in monthly or other convenient intervals, so long as each assessment is separately itemized.

551.06 DESIGNATION OF NATURE AREAS; APPEALS.

(a) The City Manager shall designate which portions, if any, of publicly owned and privately owned land within this City are to be deemed public park nature areas and private lot nature areas. No area shall be so designated unless the City Manager shall find with regard to such area:

(1)
That the establishment and maintenance of that area will not be detrimental to or will not endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare;
(2)
That the nature area will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, and that the nature area will not substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood; and
(3)
That the establishment of the nature area will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted as to such property.

(b) Appeal of the City Manager’s Decision. If dissatisfied with a decision of the City Manager to designate or not designate particular land as a nature area, a party may appeal the decision to the General Appeals Board established under Chapter 169 of the Codified Ordinances of the City. Standing to file such an appeal shall be limited to the owners or occupants of the subject property and the owners or occupants of any property located within 200 feet of the subject property.

Any appeal shall be made by delivering written notice of the appeal to the office of the City Manager within 14 days after issuance of the Manager’s decision. The notice of appeal shall satisfy the following requirements:

(1)
It must specify the name and address of the appellant, the decision from which an appeal is taken, and the location of the subject property and prospective nature area; and
(2)
It must cite specific error by the Manager and any other grounds relied upon in support of the appeal.
