(A) Trees, shrubbery, flowers, bushes or vines standing in or upon any lot or land abutting town property and having branches, limbs, trunks or other parts projecting onto town property shall be maintained by the owner of the property on which such tress, shrubbery, flowers, bushes or vines are growing so as not to interfere with the free and safe passage along the town right-of-way by pedestrians and vehicular traffic.
(B) If the owner of such property does not keep this growth from projecting onto town property, the Town Manager may order its removal. The order shall be in writing to the owner and shall be acted upon within 30 days from the time of the receipt of the order. If, after 30 days, the owner has not responded or acted to remove the project growth from such trees or plants, then the Town Manager may request town personnel enter upon the private property to perform the work necessary to correct the condition and bill the owner for the actual costs incurred. In situations deemed by the Town Manager to constitute an imminent threat to the public health, safety or welfare, the Town Manager may act without prior notification to the property owner.
