The owner of every lot or parcel of land within the corporate limits of the village upon which a tree, plant, or shrubbery stands with any part thereof upon or overhanging a public street or sidewalk shall conform to the regulations herein provided; otherwise the village shall cause such trees to be trimmed, or cut down and removed, in accordance with these regulations, and assess the cost thereof against the owner of the lot or parcel of land.
(A) The owner shall trim or cause to be trimmed any tree, plant, or shrubbery so that a clear height of eight feet between the lowest branches of the same and the street or sidewalk is maintained.
(B) The owner shall trim or remove, as the case may require, every dead, decayed, or broken tree, plant, or shrubbery, or part thereof, so that the same shall not fall to the street or sidewalk.
(C) The owner shall cut down and remove any tree, plant, or shrubbery, or any part thereof, as may be necessary to provide a clear and unobstructed view of traffic from all directions at any street intersection, or to abate any nuisance necessary to protect life, limb, or property of persons, drivers of any vehicles, or pedestrians using the street or sidewalk.
