A. The Director, or his designee, may immediately summarily abate, remove, or by notice may require the removal of any of the following encroachments:
1. Any encroachment which obstructs or prevents the use of a City street by the public;
2. Any encroachment which consists of refuse, trash, garbage, construction debris, or containers for refuse, trash, garbage or construction debris;
3. Any encroachment which is a traffic hazard.
B. The Director may return such encroachment to its owner, or otherwise dispose of it at his discretion, except that if the Director determines in good faith that the encroachment is of more than nominal value, he shall not effect such other disposition until he has made a reasonable attempt to identify and notify the owner of the encroachment and provide a reasonable time, but not less than ten days, for the owner to retrieve it under provisions of this chapter. The return of such encroachment may be conditioned upon payment of an amount sufficient to reimburse the City for the expenses of removal, storage and any damage caused by the encroachment. If the encroachment is not claimed or the costs paid within said reasonable time, the encroachment shall be deemed to be abandoned and may be sold, destroyed or transferred to the City for public use.
