A. Where it can be shown that trees or other plant materials, by reason of their location, height or density of foliage, are obstructing the visibility of a building to the extent that public safety personnel cannot readily see the building from the public right-of-way, or are preventing the penetration of light and air to any property within the vicinity of the trees or other plant materials such as to present a threat to human health and safety on the affected property, such trees or plant materials are declared to be a public nuisance.
B. Where the continuance of the above-stated nuisance would, in fact, be a detriment to the public health, safety, general welfare, and to the enjoyment of a substantial property right, the city may, upon giving written notice, cause the owner of the property, on which the trees or other plant materials are located, to trim same or to otherwise cause the visibility and the penetration of light and air to be restored.
