No wall, fence or shrubbery shall unreasonably obstruct or interfere with traffic visibility. All hedges and shrubbery shall be maintained at a distance of six inches (6") to twelve inches (12") from the inside line of the sidewalk, unless special permission from the city council is obtained prior to the planting of such shrubbery or hedge. Any wall or fence, located upon, or shrubbery or hedge planted upon the public right of way may be ordered removed therefrom by action of the city council.
Further, walls, fences, hedges and shrubbery within fifty feet (50') of the corner of any block shall not exceed three feet (3') in height above the curb line of the adjacent street. However, the city council may vary this regulation by motion, if such council finds that a proposed higher wall, fence, hedge or shrubbery would not unreasonably obstruct or interfere with traffic visibility.
