A. It shall be illegal for any person, corporation or entity to erect, plant, place, or maintain, fences, hedges, shrubbery, or other natural or man-made objects or structures on any public right-of-way which interfere with or are hazardous to the City's or the general public's use of the right-of-way. No such objects may be placed on any public right-of-way without the prior consent of the City.
B. When the City discovers any objects on the city right-of-way as described in Subsection (A) herein, the City will notify the adjacent property owner or tenant that said objects shall be removed immediately upon giving personal notice or posting the property.
C. Any objects not removed pursuant to Subsections (A) and (B) herein may be removed by city personnel and taken to the Grand Island Police Department impoundment facility or such other facility as the city deems appropriate for storing said objects. If the objects are not claimed by the owners within thirty days after being placed in storage, then the city may dispose of the property as it deems appropriate. If said objects are auctioned, the City may retain sufficient funds to pay all of the expenses of removal from the right-of-way and storage. Any person who has items removed from the right-of-way by the City shall pay a daily storage fee, the cost of disposal and an administrative fee of $50.00.
