A. It is unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to obstruct or otherwise prevent access to any street, alley, or other city-owned property; provided that, the city may prevent or provide access to streets, alleys, and city-owned property from time to time in the public interest.
B. The City may permit certain streets, alleys, and City property which are dedicated, but not required for traffic or other public access or use, to be fenced or otherwise made inaccessible to the public, as in the case of land being farmed or grazed as a part of a larger field or pasture. The City or any of its officers or employees shall have the right of ingress, egress, and easement for the purpose of installing or maintaining utilities, cleaning, grading, moving, or any other activity which is in the public interest.
C. Persons, companies, corporations, or individuals who have fenced in or are farming or grazing dedicated but unopened streets, alleys or City property, as permitted in this section, shall:
1. Not construct any building, structure, earthworks, or ponds nor in any other way disturb the general grade and slope of the land;
2. Maintain the property so that no nuisance is created;
3. Immediately relinquish any rights, presumed to be held concerning the property upon notice by the City; and
4. Permit access to the property at any reasonable time when requested to do so by a City officer or employee.
