Except for a governmental agency for the purpose of screening, no wall, fence, structure, tree, shrub, vegetation or other obstruction shall be placed on or extend into a yard or right-of-way area so as to pose a danger to traffic by obscuring the view of approaching vehicular traffic or pedestrians from any street or driveway. Visibility from any street or driveway shall be unobstructed above a height of three feet, measured from where both street or driveway centerlines intersect within the triangle described as beginning at the intersection of the projected curb line of two intersecting streets or drives, thence 30 feet along one curb line, thence diagonally to a point 30 feet from the point of beginning along the other curb line. The exception to this requirement shall be where there is a tree, planting or landscape arrangement within the area that will not create a total obstruction wider than three feet. These requirements shall not apply to conditions of this chapter that legally exist prior to the effective date of this chapter, unless the City Council determines that the conditions constitute a safety hazard.
