No section of this chapter shall be construed to apply to fallen leaves. It is permissible to deposit leaves, during the fall of the year, on streets, adjacent to the curb line, for removal by the Division of Streets.
Upon written request to the City by the owner(s) of privately owned streets within the City which is received by the City no later than October 1st of any year during which the City is providing leaf collection services to the residents of the City, the Division of Streets, or any other agency or division that the City utilizes to remove leaves, shall remove leaves deposited adjacent to the curb line on private streets, at the same cost as it directly charges property owners on public streets and at the same collection times as other streets in the area, provided both of the following conditions are met:
(1) The private street is of a sufficient width for the leaf collection vehicle to travel on and operate. The Division of Streets shall not be required to provide leaf collection on private streets which are not of a sufficient width or do not provide sufficient space for the leaf collection vehicle to turn around, if necessary; and
(2) The owner(s) of privately owned streets executes and provides the City with a waiver agreement releasing the City from any liability for damage to property which the City may be exposed to as a result of providing the leaf collection service on private streets.
