(A) The property owner, agent or occupant of any lot or parcel of land shall keep the trees on their property so trimmed that the overhanging branches shall be at least 15 feet above the surface of the street and at least eight feet above the surface of the sidewalk so as not to interfere with the street lighting or the free and safe use of the street and sidewalk by the public and shall be kept free of dead limbs and branches, taking into consideration the tree maturity and size.
(B) The city shall have the right to trim or prune any tree or shrub on private property without notice when it overhangs public property and interferes with the proper spread of light along the street from a streetlight or interferes with visibility of any traffic control device or sign.
