Re: Gas Grill Regulations
Dear Resident,
This letter in to inform you of the regulation pertaining to gas/electric grills. N.F.P.A 1 2012 Edition reads as follows:
10.11.6.1 For other than one and two family dwellings, no hibachi, grill or other similar devices used for cooking, heating, or any other purpose shall be used or kindled on any balcony, under any overhanging portion, or within 10 feet(3 m) of any structure.
We have been in contact with the State Fire Marshall’s office on October 28, 2014 and they are also in agreement with this N.F.P.A. regulation.
We have been asked that the fire department enforce this regulation as written. Within your complex, we ask that grills be removed from any balcony or patio to comply with the NFPA 1 Section 10.11.7.
Thank you,

The City of Highland Heights has an ordinance regulating the keeping or maintaining of dogs and cats in the City. It also has an ordinance prohibiting persons with animals from appearing in public places or upon the property of another, absent that person's consent, without some means of removal of excrement and require persons to in fact remove that animal's excrement. If I may be of any further service, or if you would like a copy of the ordinances, please call the City Office at 859-441-8575 Monday-Friday 9:00am-5:00pm.

The questions “who maintains easement property?” is a bit too generic to have a simple answer.
The streets are located in “Public Rights of Way”. There is no clear title to that property, and it is available for adjoining property owners to gain access to their property. Utility companies can locate water/sewer/gas/telephone/and similar utilities. The City is responsible for the maintenance of the street paving if it is a dedicated/accepted street – if it is not pavement that has been accepted for maintenance then it is privately maintained. The Sanitation District is responsible for most storm sewer improvements. There are a considerable number of undeveloped rights of way (paper streets) in the City, and there is no entity responsible for the maintenance of undeveloped street rights of way. Yard areas in the right of way along dedicated streets are the responsibility of adjoining property owner to maintain. Dead trees in the ROW may be cut by the utility companies if they provide a danger to the overhead wires – the City may cut a tree if it falls on the roadway – however they will only cut it enough to restore traffic then the adjoining property owner is responsible for the remainder of the cleanup.
Dedicated Easements may have maintenance responsibility issues detailed in the easement document. Gas companies often keep their easement clear of trees and brush, and the sanitary sewer easements are often cut as well.
