§ 95-3. Obstruction.

Duty of occupant. It shall be the duty of any person or persons owning or occupying real property bordering on any street upon whose property there may be trees or other vegetation, to prune such trees or vegetation in such manner that they will not interfere with utility lines on the city right-of-way, obstruct the passage of pedestrians on sidewalks, obstruct the view of any street or alley intersection, or obstruct view of any traffic control devices (including but not limited to signs and traffic signals). Suggested minimum vertical clearance of any overhanging portion thereof shall be eight feet over sidewalks, and 16 feet over all streets. Suggested minimal horizontal distance to any traffic signal equipment, traffic control signs, or utility lines should be ten feet. If the occupant fails to perform these duties, city maintenance crews or other tree maintenance crews authorized by the city shall have the right to prune for such clearance over city rights-of-way for safety and accessibility as needed. City maintenance crews or other tree maintenance crews authorized by the city shall have the right to maintain public trees located in the city right-of-way.
