A.
All streets either public or private shall provide a planted landscaped strip to
city specifications and be perpetually maintained by the adjacent property
owner. (see 10-15-6)
B.
No property owner shall allow a tree, or other plant growing on his or her
property or within the adjacent park strip to obstruct or interfere with
pedestrians or the view of drivers, thereby creating a hazard. If an obstruction
persists, the City shall notify the property owner to prune or remove the tree
or plant. If the owner fails to comply with the notice, the City may undertake
the necessary work and charge the cost to the property owner.
