(A) Maintenance required. It shall be the duty of each person residing on or owning property abutting on the village streets to maintain the area between his or her lot line and the curb line and public sidewalk free from weeds, overhanging branches of less than seven feet above the ground and other noxious herbage or matter.
(B) Beautification permitted; restrictions. The village hereby grants a revocable permission for each citizen to beautify the portion of land owned by the village and located between his or her premises and the adjoining curb line; providing, however, that, no encumbrance other than bushes, grass, flowers, trees and decorative rocks shall be established thereon. Fences, fenceposts, wires and any other type of encumbrance is strictly prohibited. The permission shall include all other rights of possession exercisable against all but the duly appointed or elected representatives of the village acting in official capacity. An action for trespass may be brought by the adjoining owner with regard to the portion of land, exclusive of the area occupied by the public sidewalk.
