Covington City Council members want a cleaner city, and putting more restrictions on the unruly growth of grass and weeds is up for discussion. The council agreed to discuss the issue of overgrown properties at its next meeting after resident Wayne King complained about overgrown lots in his neighborhood on Highland Drive. Covington’s laws don’t allow homeowners to have grass or weeds grow higher than 12 inches; however, Senior Planner Scott Gaither said that doesn’t apply to vacant lots with no structures on them.
