PAGE 55 MEMORANDUM TO: Village Board FROM: Aaron Kramer, Village Administrator RE: Proposed Public Nuisance Legislation DATE: August 19th 2025 BACKGROUND Trustee Tanke had requested that Village staff review the current Public Nuisance ordinance (Chapter 207) and make recommendations on possible changes for the Village Board to consider and act upon. That review has been completed. CURRENT ORDINANCE Currently, the Village’s ordinances regarding “nuisances” can be found in numerous locations in the Municipal Code (over 50), with the primary site being Chapter 207 (Nuisances) (attached to this memo). References to nuisances can also be found in the following sections: • Chapter 102 (Animals) ; Chapter 121 (Building Construction) ; Chapter 127 (Burning) ; Chapter 142 (Direct Sellers) ; Chapter 150 (Erosion Control and Stormwater Management) ; Chapter 156 (Explosives and Blasting) ; Chapter 194 (Mining); Chapter 221 (Peace and Good Order); Chapter 237 (Sewer Use); Chapter 240 (Short-Term Rentals); Chapter 248 (Solid Waste); Chapter 255 (Trees); Chapter 290 (Floodplain Zoning); Chapter 293 (Shoreland Zoning); Chapter 295 (Zoning), Article XXX (Earth Excavation), specifically Section 327 (Trucks and machinery) Chapter 207 (Nuisance) consists of the following sections: Article I. General Nuisances • § 207-1. Findings and purpose. • § 207-2. Public nuisances prohibited. • § 207-3. Nuisances defined. • § 207-4. Storage of junk regulated. • § 207-5. Open cisterns, wells, basements or other dangerous excavations prohibited. • § 207-6. Abandoned or unattended refrigerators prohibited. • § 207-7. Abatement of public nuisances. • § 207-8. Cost of abatement. • § 207-9. Violations and penalties. Article II. Offensive Industries • § 207-10. Abatement or removal. PAGE 56 • § 20 7-11. Violations and penalties. • § 207-12. Exception. Rather than recodify a considerable portion of the Municipal Code, I am recommending recreating Chapter 207, and incorporating a few other sections of the code into the new chapter with the following sections: § 207-1. Public Nuisances Defined and Prohibited § 207-2. Public nuisances affecting health. § 207-3. Public nuisances offending morals and decency. § 207-4. Public nuisances affecting peace and safety. § 207-5. Chronic nuisances. § 207-6. Property Maintenance. § 207-7. Abatement of Public Nuisances Otherwise Prescribed. § 207-8. Cleanup of clandestine drug lab sites and chemical dump sites. § 207-9. Transfer of Ownership of Non-Complying Buildings. § 207-10. Suspension and revocation of permits and licenses. § 207-11. Cost of abatement. § 207-12. Violations and penalties. MAJOR REVISIONS CHRONIC NUISANCES (207-5): This section was added at the request of the Police Chief to provide an additional enforcement mechanism for addressing nuisances. PROPERTY MAINTENANCE (207-6): This section incorporates a number of conditions involving property. ABATEMENT OF PUBLIC NUISANCES OTHERWISE PRESCRIBED (207-7): This section introduces a new public complaint- driven component. Public Complaint: “If any two (2) households of the Village of Hobart or neighbors make a written and signed complaint, within a ten (10) day period, concerning the maintenance of a property within the Village, the Director of Planning and Code Compliance or his or her designee shall review such complaint, visit the property against which such complaint has been made and, if found to be in violation of this or any other ordinance, shall issue a notice of such alleged violation to the owner or occupant of the property along with a specified time period within which such violation(s) must be corrected.” TIMETABLE FOR ACTION August 19 – Introduction of new Public Nuisance Ordinance September 2 – Second review by Board and public comment September 16 – Board vote on Ordinance PAGE 57 PROPOSED LANGUAGE OF NEW ORDINANCE SECTION 207-1: PUBLIC NUISANCES DEFINED AND PROHIBITED A. Public nuisances defined. A public nuisance is a thing, act, occupation, condition or use of property which shall continue for such a length of time as to: (1) Substantially annoy, injure, or endanger the comfort, health, repose or safety of the public.

SECTION 207-7: ABATEMENT OF PUBLIC NUISANCES OTHERWISE PRESCIBED NOTE: This section of the code has been significantly changed to direct most of the investigation and enforcement on the Director of Planning and Code Compliance. A section which allows for complaints to be resident generated has been added as well. A. Abatement of public nuisances. Unless otherwise prescribed in this Section, the following process shall be employed to abate public nuisances: (1) Public Complaint. If any two (2) households of the Village of Hobart or neighbors make a written and signed complaint, within a ten (10) day period, concerning the maintenance of a property within the Village, the Director of Planning and Code Compliance or his or her designee shall review such complaint, visit the property against which such complaint has been made and, if found to be in violation of this or any other ordinance, shall issue a notice of such alleged violation to the owner or occupant of the property along with a specified time period within which such violation(s) must be corrected. (2) The Director of Planning and Code Compliance may also issue a notice of alleged violation of this ordinance by his own action, which notice shall be transmitted to the owner or occupant of the property on which such violation exists along with a specified time period within which such alleged violation(s) must be corrected. The property owner shall notify the Building Inspector upon completion of repairs so that a re-inspection may be made. (3) If a violation has not been corrected, or a plan submitted to correct the violation and approved by the Director of Planning and Code Compliance within the time limits allowed by the Director of Planning and Code Compliance (not to be less than ten (10) days of issuance of the notice), the Director of Planning and Code Compliance shall forward the issue to the Police Department for issuance of a citation on the property owner regarding such violation. For property maintenance violations, the Director of Planning and Code Compliance shall have the alternative option to instruct the Department of Public Works to correct said violation and charge the actual costs incurred against the property owner. If such charges are not paid by November 1 of the year in which they are billed, such charges sha ll be extended on the next succeeding tax roll as a tax charged against the property affected and collected in the same manner as are other taxes, pursuant to Wisconsin Statute 66.98. (4) Within ten (10) days following the date of issue of any notice by the Director of Planning and Code Compliance, the recipient of the notice may apply to the Village Board for a hearing for consideration of the alleged violation(s) enumerated in the notice. The applicant of such appeal shall be advised of the time and place of the hearing at least seven (7) working days prior to the hearing; and shall be given an opportunity to be heard and to show cause why such notice should be modified, extended, withdrawn or a variance granted. (5) Violations and Penalties. Any person or business that violates any provision of this subsection or fails to comply with any order, rule or regulation made hereunder shall be subject to a daily penalty of twenty-five (25) dollars per violation. Subsequent violations of the same provision within one (1) calendar year shall carry an additional penalty of fifty (50) dollars per day per violation. PAGE 74 (6) S ummary abatement. (a) Notice to owner. If the Director of Planning and Code Compliance shall determine that a public nuisance exists on private property and that there is great and immediate danger to the public health, safety, peace, morals or decency, the Director of Planning and Code Compliance or designee may direct the appropriate personnel to serve notice on the owner, or, if the owner cannot be found, on the occupant or person causing, permitting, or maintaining such nuisance and to post a copy of the notice on the premises. Such notice shall direct the owner, occupant, or person causing, permitting or maintaining such nuisance to abate or remove such nuisance within 24 hours and shall state that unless such nuisance is so abated, the Village will cause the same to be abated and will charge the cost thereof to the owner, occupant or person causing, permitting or maintaining the same. (b) Abatement by Village. If the nuisance is not abated within the time provided, or if the owner, occupant or person causing the nuisance cannot be found, the Village Administrator shall direct the abatement or removal of such nuisance. (7) Other methods not excluded. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as prohibiting the abatement of public nuisances by the Village or its officials in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin. SECTION 207-8: CLEANUP OF CLANDESTINE DRUG LAB SITES AND CHEMICAL DUMP SITES.

Other methods not excluded. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as prohibiting the abatement of public nuisances by the Village or its officials in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin. § 207-8. Cost of abatement. In addition to any other penalty imposed by this Code for the erection, contrivance, creation, continuance or maintenance of a public nuisance, the cost of abating a public nuisance by the Village shall be collected as a debt from the owner, occupant or person causing, permitting or maintaining the nuisance, or shall be assessed against the real estate.

Service charges and interest; attorney fees, litigation costs and any costs, charges, fines or penalties to the Village imposed by any court or state or federal governmental entities. Wherever this article imposes the cost of abatement as a special charge against the premises, the Village elects not to be subject to the administrative review provisions contained within Chapter 68 of the Wisconsin Statutes, and establishes the following as a complete and final review procedure: As a condition precedent to challenging any special charge, the owner of the premises must timely pay the charge in full under protest to the Village. An appeal shall be to the Village Administrator and can be undertaken only by filing a written appeal with the Village Clerk-Treasurer concurrent with the date of payment. The written appeal shall specify all grounds for challenge to the amount of the special charge and shall state the amount of charge that the appellant considers to be appropriate. Failure to timely and properly appeal shall deprive the Village Administrator of jurisdiction to hear the appeal. The Village Administrator shall have 60 calendar days to consider an appeal under this subsection. In considering an appeal, the Village Administrator shall determine whether the charge is fair and reasonable and, in the event the appeal is granted, whether or not a refund is due the appellant and the amount of the refund. The Village Administrator shall conduct a formal or informal hearing at such time and place as designated in a hearing notice to the appellant, providing five business days' notice to the appellant. The Village Administrator shall obtain sufficient facts upon which to make a determination. The decision shall be based upon the evidence presented. The Village Administrator shall notify the appellant in writing of the determination by first class mail addressed to the individual and at the address listed within the appeal. Service is conclusive upon mailing. The decision of the Village Administrator is final except if the owner of the premises appeals the decision to a court of competent jurisdiction.
