[Adopted 5-7-1979 by Ord. No. 1979-7]
Following the effective date of this article,
it shall be the duty of the owner or operator of every commercial
establishment located within the Borough to remove from the property
any tree, plant, shrub, sign or any other view obstruction or part
thereof which, by obstructing the view of any driver entering into
or leaving from such establishment, constitutes a traffic hazard.
When any authorized agent of the Borough determines
that a traffic hazard exists at any commercial establishment, the
owner or operator (if different from the property owner) shall be
notified of the hazard, and it shall be removed within 10 days of
the notification. If the same or similar type of view obstruction
shall be permitted or caused to occur after the 10 days following
the initial notification, additional notifications for the continuing
obstruction or new obstruction of similar nature will not be required.
