§ 90.09 OBSTRUCTIONS, FIRE, DUMP, SIGNS, AND OTHER STRUCTURES.
   (A)   Obstructions. It is unlawful for any person to place, deposit, display, or offer for sale, any fence, goods, or other obstructions upon, over, across, or under any street or other public property without first having obtained a written permit from the Council, and then only in compliance in all respects with the terms and conditions of such permit, and taking precautionary measures for the protection of the public. An electrical cord or device of any kind is hereby included, but not by way of limitation, within the definition of an obstruction unless it provides at least as much clearance above the surface as provided in the National Electric Code.
   (B)   Dumping in streets. It is unlawful for any person to throw or deposit in any street or any other public property any nails, dirt, glass, tin cans, metal scraps, garbage, leaves, grass, or tree limbs, shreds, or rubbish, or to empty any water containing salt or other injurious chemical thereon; the effect of this division (B) shall extend, but not by way of limitation, to depositing grease, oil, and other fuel or lubricants in such places, and to place a motor vehicle with essential parts (as defined in state statutes) removed, except such vehicles as are temporarily disabled for a period not in excess of 12 hours.
   (C)   Signs and other structures. It is unlawful for any person to place or maintain a sign or other structure in the traveled or untraveled portion of any street or other public property without first having obtained a written permit from the Council. In a district zoned for commercial or industrial enterprises, special permission allowing an applicant to erect and maintain signs overhanging the street may be granted upon such terms and conditions as may be set forth in the zoning or construction provisions of this code of ordinances.
