All landscaped areas on corner lots and in median strips must meet the clear vision (sight distance) standards. Within the sight distance area, the following standards apply:
(a) Clear Vision Triangle Area. The area formed at the corner intersection of two (2) public road right-of-way lines, the two (2) sides of the triangular area being thirty (30) feet in length measured along the abutting public right-of-way lines, and the third side being a line connecting these two (2) sides. The Clear Vision Triangle must be free from visual obstruction. See Figure 13. Clear Vision Area.
(b) Shrubs and other landscape features permitted within this Code may be permitted in the clear vision triangle area provided that they are trimmed and maintained so that they are not more than thirty (30) inches above grade and must not extend into the right-of-way.
(c) Trees cannot be planted any closer than twenty-five (25) feet to the corner intersection of two (2) public road right-of-way lines; however, trees with at least eight (8) feet of limbless trunk may be permitted within the clear vision triangle.
