There shall be a clear space 13 feet above street surface or 8 feet above the sidewalk surface. The owner shall remove all dead, diseased, dangerous trees, broken or decayed limbs which constitute a menace to the safety of the public. The city shall have the right to prune any tree or shrub on private property when it interferes with the proper spread of light along the street from a street light, or interferes with visibility of any traffic control device or sign or sign triangle at intersections, also along any public driveway access.
