Mr. Bevans stated that staff was relying on the code language to define any unsightly debris as a nuisance. He countered that Section 6.010(c) provided no objective basis for determining the term "unsightly." He suggested that the language was attempting to define such debris as decomposing animal and vegetable matter as a health hazard, adding that such language would include all garden compost piles. With regard to the issue of the height stacking requirement, Mr. Bevans stated that the piles were temporary and should not be addressed. There being no further testimony, the public hearing was closed. Councilor Wooten asked for clarification between the piles of wood and other debris.
