No person shall place, erect, plant or maintain any sign, fence, wall, hedge, shrub, tree or other thing between the minimum building setback line and the edge of the right-of-way of any highway, street or other public way on a corner lot in such a location as will obscure the view of on-coming cross traffic to the driver of any vehicle crossing or entering the highway, street or other public way from any semi-private or commercial driveway which shall be deemed to create a corner lot for the purposes of this section. For the purposes of this section, any sign, fence, wall, hedge, shrub, tree or other thing which prevents a clear view of on-coming cross traffic for 500 feet in either direction by the driver of a motor vehicle legally stopped with its front bumper even with the edge of the right-of-way of the highway, street or other public way, shall be deemed to obscure the view. However, nothing in this section shall be construed to require the alteration of the natural grade of the land without due process of law even though such natural grade may result in an obscured view across a corner lot as defined herein.
