The purpose of this article is to regulate landscape activities
in the rights-of-way.
Any landscaping to be performed in the Village right-of-way
must adhere to the following regulations:
A. No plant material is to be planted within three feet of the curb.
B. Any hardscape material within five feet of the curb must be no greater
than six inches in height.
C. No woody plant material (trees and shrubs) greater than three feet
in height or spread may be planted in the right-of-way.
D. Any nonwoody plant material (perennials and annuals) greater that
three feet in height must be at least eight feet from the curb.
E. No woody plant material may be planted within three feet of any sidewalk
or trail.
F. Any hardscape materials within three feet of any trail or sidewalk
must be no greater than six inches in height.
G. Any landscape activities may not interfere with any street tree operations.
H. No digging is to be performed within three feet of any street tree.
I. Any landscaping in the right-of-way must not violate the Village's
corner vision ordinance, which states "On any corner lot in all zoning
districts, no fence, wall, hedge, planting, object or structure shall
be erected, placed, planted or allowed to grow in such a manner as
to obstruct vision between a height of 2 1/2 feet and 10 feet
above the center-line grades of the intersecting streets in the area
bounded by the right-of-way lines of such corner lots and a line joining
the point along said right-of-way line 15 feet from the point of intersection."
J. At no point shall any landscaping be allowed to encroach on any road,
sidewalk or trail.
K. Berming or mounding or soil and raised planting beds are not permitted
on the right-of-way.
L. No underground plumbing or wiring may be installed in the right-of-way.
This includes sprinkler systems and dog fences.
Any property owner that performs landscape activities on the
Village right-of-way does so at their own risk. The Village of Greenville
is not responsible for any damage sustained to any landscaping in
the Village's right-of-way under any circumstances. The Village of
Greenville will not repair or incur the cost of repairs to any such
damage. Any and all damage, regardless of the cause, is the sole responsibility
of the property owner.
