The owner or occupant of any lot, piece, or parcel of ground abutting or adjacent to any street or sidewalk over which there extends the branches of trees shall at all times keep the branches or limbs thereof trimmed to the height of at least seven and one-half feet above the surface of the walk. Whenever the limbs or branches of any tree or trees extend over sidewalks contrary to the provisions herein so as to interfere with the lighting of the street from street lights, or with the convenience of the public using the sidewalk, the City Council at any regular or special meeting may pass a resolution ordering the owner or occupant to cut or remove the obstructions within five days after having received a copy thereof from the Director of Public Works stating that the city will remove the branches and charge the costs thereof to the owner or occupant as a special assessment for improvements as herein provided, if the resolution is not complied with.
