For the purposes of this division, "improved area" shall be any area surrounded by
streets, boundaries, dedicated streets, natural boundaries and/or subdivision boundaries,
or any lot or lots which side on or are adjacent to such streets or boundaries, of
which fifty (50) percent of the area, as enclosed by such streets or boundaries, is
developed and used for residential, commercial or industrial purposes. Also included
in this definition are all those properties located across streets from said improved
areas, but only up to a depth of one hundred (100) feet from said street. Any piece
or portion of ground located in such improved areas owned by one (1) or more owners
and exceeding two (2) acres in area shall be exempt from the provisions of this section.
The parish council shall have the authority to compel property owners to fill their
property to curb grade in improved areas by council resolution only after receiving
a report from the department of drainage and sewerage attesting to the fact that the
department has inspected the property in question, and that said property is below
grade and, as a result thereof, is considered by the department of drainage and sewerage
to be an immediate hazard to adjoining property owners, the public in general, or
is an attractive nuisance to children upon the property.
