For the purpose of safe visibility, all corner lots, and reversed corner lots must maintain a triangular area, described as follows: one angle must be formed by the front and side property lines, and the sides of this angle must be 15 feet in length, measured along the front and side property lines; the third side of this triangle must be a straight line connecting the two (2) other lines at their endpoints.
Lots located at the intersection of a public street and an alley must maintain a triangular area, described as follows: one angle must be formed by the property lines abutting the street and the alley, and the sides of this angle must be five feet in length. The third side of this triangle must be a straight line connecting the two other lines at their endpoints. Along alleys that are more than 15 feet wide, this triangle must be located only on the lot to the right of the alley as seen from a vehicle exiting the alley to enter the adjacent street.
Within the area comprising these triangles, no trees, fences, shrubs, retaining walls, buildings and structures, or other physical obstructions may exceed 30 inches in height from street grade, unless it is a tree which is trimmed to provide a minimum of 12 feet (of visibility from street grade under the canopy created by the branches.
