Couple in The Villages given seven days to cut grass at their home

A couple in The Villages has been given seven days to cut the grass at their home.

The home of Thomas and Rosemary Mundell at 322 Olanta Drive in the Village of Caroline was the subject of a deed compliance hearing Friday before the Community Development District 6 Board of Supervisors at SeaBreeze Recreation Center.

On March 26, a complaint was received by Community Standards about overgrown grass, weeds and dead bushes. During an inspection on Thursday it was determined that although the bushes were no longer out of compliance, the property remained out of compliance for the overgrown grass and weeds.

The board agreed to give the Mundells, who have lived in the home since 2006, seven days to mow the grass and remove the weeds to bring the property into compliance. If they fail to do so, the District will maintain the lawn at a cost to the homeowner of $250 per occurrence.
