[Amended 3-9-2004 by Ord. No. 1126]
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this chapter to erect, set up, bury, place, maintain or allow any gasoline pump, oil tank, wall, fence, pillar, electric fence, sprinkler system or other obstruction, whether above or below ground, within the boundaries of any public highway or public right-of-way, in the Township of Upper Dublin, or to allow the branches of trees, shrubs or hedges overhanging or adjacent to the same to obstruct a clear passage of not less than 14 feet above the traveled portion of the highway, of not less than eight feet above the sidewalk, or of not less than the full width of any highway or sidewalk. Any such obstruction shall be removed promptly by the adjacent property owner whenever written notice to remove the same is given by the Township. If the owner fails to comply with such notice, the Township shall remove the obstruction and charge the cost thereof to the owner. In default of prompt payment, the Township may file a municipal claim in the amount of such charges.
