A. Trees that will encroach into any vehicle or pedestrian use area or travel lane shall be of a variety that will accommodate pruning to allow for the minimum clearance height (14 feet over vehicle travel lanes; 8 feet over pedestrian travel lanes) without adversely affecting the overall natural shape of the variety. Maintaining trees to these clearance levels is the responsibility of the property owner.

This area is defined as the sight triangle. No tree shall be permitted within the sight triangle of a public street intersection.
C. There shall be a fifteen foot (15') no build area parallel to the east property line of lot 8. Fences shall be allowed within the no build area. Additional trees and shrubs shall be planted within this fifteen foot (15') no build area from the north property line of lot 8 south approximately three hundred ninety feet (390') to the end of the ingress/egress easement required in section 100-10 of this ordinance. At the time of planting, deciduous trees shall be a minimum three inch (3") caliper while coniferous trees shall be a minimum of six feet (6') in height.
