I suspect that the kids playing on the vacant lot bothers Chief much much more than it bothers the land owner.
On this forum it's common knowledge that if someone builds a house next to a farm, they should not complain when farm smells, dust, noise, escaped livestock, hoards of Japanese Beatles, chemical drift, ground water contamination, etc. make it onto their property, because right or wrong that is just a fact of life in farm country. Likewise, if you own property next to a residential neighborhood, you shouldn't complain when kids, pets, adults, vehicles, trash, fireworks, cans, tires, junk, etc. make it onto your property because right or wrong that is just a fact of life of having property next to a residential neighborhood. If you don't want any of that you need to put up a good fence or a locked building.
Odds are the vacant lot will eventually become another subdivision, so the last thing the land owner wants to do is spend money on a fence that he will eventually have to pay more money to have removed, and that might increase his property taxes while the fence is in place. Likewise he's not interested in making any police calls (that costs the local government $500+ a call) just to complain that some kids are on his vacant lot, he might as well complain that there is a weed or a bird in it. Some of the kid's fathers probably built most of the RC car track for them anyway. The owner is likely content to only have to mow the lot once or twice a year, as required by law, and ignore it the rest of the year because he pays "a guy with a tractor" to take care of the mowing. Thus it becomes Chief's problem.
The best thing chief can do is inform the owner, increase his bill to cover he extra work to mow around the RC track and factor that into next year's work schedule. It's extra money in his pocket.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
