(A) In order to provide a clear view to the motorist there shall be a triangular area of clear visibility that is free of any obstructions where there is an intersection of two or more streets and/or where a driveway intersects with a street.
(B) Where a street intersects with another street, the triangular areas shall be defined by measuring 35 feet from the intersection of the extension of the front and side street curb lines (or the edge of pavement where there is no curb) and connecting the lines across the property. See Figure 95.35-F.
(C) Where a driveway intersects a street, the triangular areas shall be defined by measuring 25 feet from the edge of the driveway along the street and 20 feet along the driveway, perpendicular from the street. See Figure 95.35-G.
(D) Division (C) of this section shall not apply to driveways for single-family or two-family dwellings.
(E) The Administrator or designee may reduce the distance requirement where it is determined that a narrow parcel frontage would excessively reduce buildable area.
(F) No structure, sign, or landscape element shall exceed 36 inches in height, measured from the top of the curb, within the area established above, unless approved by the Administrator or designee. Trees may be located within these areas provided they are pruned and/or the canopy is trimmed to provide clear visibility (with the exception of the tree trunk) up to ten feet above the top of the curb.
(G) Where no curb exists, the height shall be measured from the top of the pavement.
