(A) Any owner of real property abutting a public right-of-way shall maintain his or her private trees so that no tree obstructs or interferes with the view to oncoming traffic or pedestrians, with the view of traffic signs or signals or with the extension or maintenance of utility lines. The minimum clearance shall be seven feet over sidewalk and 12 feet over streets. All pruning must conform to ANSI standards for tree maintenance. Pruning standards will be made available to all property owners through a variety of media and always upon request.
(B) Any person who has received from the city a grant to occupy the streets of the city for the purpose of erecting and maintaining poles, wires, fixtures, brackets or supports, shall, upon written notification by the Superintendent that such item is interfering with a public tree, prune the tree or redesign or relocate its equipment at no expense to the city to remove the interference. Work must be performed within 30 days of written notification.
