(A) Required landscaping may be placed wholly or partially in utility or other easements providing all requirements can be fulfilled and approval is granted by the holder of the easements. The planting of trees directly under utility wires shall be avoided.
(B) In no case, however, shall landscaping and buffer areas be established that block the sight distance at street or driveway intersections. In the case of a city street intersection, the sight triangle shall consist of the area between points 35 feet from the right-of-way line along both intersecting streets.
(C) Buffer areas are not required in the front yard or in side yards closer to the street than the front building line of the structure unless screening an off-street parking area.
