1. For use in this chapter, "parking" means that part of the public right-of-way in the City not covered by the sidewalk and lying between the lot line and the curb line; or, on unpaved streets, that part of the public right-of-way lying between the lot line and that portion of the street usually traveled by vehicular traffic.
2. It shall be the responsibility of the abutting property owner to maintain all property within the parking, except that the abutting property owner shall not be required to remove dead, diseased, or dying trees on the publicly owned property. Maintenance includes, but is not limited to, timely mowing, trimming of trees and shrubs, removing tree debris, and removing litter.
3. Underground irrigation systems are allowed in the parking with the understanding that it is at the abutting property owner's risk. Any maintenance, repair, or replacement of the irrigation system caused by City maintenance or construction activities within the parking will be the responsibility of and at the expense of the abutting property owner.
