§ 91.34 ENCUMBRANCES IN THE UNIMPROVED RIGHT-OF-WAY.
   (A)   No person shall encumber any portion of the unimproved right-of-way within the city with a permanent structure, sign, post, or any other item. The following items are exempt from this section: mailboxes or any receptacle used for the U.S. Mail, any item owned by a governmental entity, any utility item registered with or permitted by the city, signage permitted by the zoning ordinance, streetlights, permitted species or types of trees and bushes, trash or recycling receptacles set out for collection at appropriate times, or any item or sign owned or maintained by the city.
   (B)   Property owners may install landscaping, private invisible pet fences, and irrigation in the unimproved right-of-way, subject to the condition that the city may require permits for these items prior to installation and/or mandate their removal or relocation for official purposes such as roadwork or if they block vehicle sight lines. Failure to relocate these items upon request by the city shall relieve the city or its contractor from liability for damage.
