A resident in Northeast Austin believes she was unfairly cited by the Austin Code Department due to a misunderstanding over her front yard plants.
, weeds and grass on private properties can’t be more than 12 inches high, and many of Maigret Pinshaw’s plants are over a foot tall. However, she said her front yard is home to wildflowers and native plants, not weeds.
On June 12, FOX 7 visited Pinshaw just as a representative from the Austin Code Dept. was leaving. Pinshaw had been showing them around and providing names for the various plants. She did the same for FOX 7, pointing out different varieties of wildflowers and native plants. "The native plants help with water filtration, which is really important in this neighborhood," said Pinshaw, who lives at the bottom of a hill. "I had found on the city website that it says you need to let the wildflowers go through all their flowering cycles and wait for the seed heads to mature before you cut," said Pinshaw. "It’s vitally important that the plants be allowed to naturally drop their seeds.
In contrast to Pinshaw’s dilemma, firefighters at AFD Station #51 told FOX 7 they want to cut plants that have overrun the property, however, they aren’t allowed to. FOX 7 reached out to the City of Austin to get more information.
