A.
The owner of any tree or bush overhanging or otherwise adversely
affecting any street or right-of-way within the Village shall, at
his/her own expense, maintain such tree or bush so that it shall not
obstruct the light from any street lamp, create a traffic safety hazard
or obstruct or hinder passage on any street or sidewalk so that there
shall be a clear space of eight feet above the surface of the street
or the full width of the sidewalk, as the case may be.
B.
The owner shall remove, at his/her own expense, all dead, diseased
or dangerous trees or bushes, broken or decayed limbs or branches
which constitute a danger to the safety of the public.
The owner of any tree or bush which the Village deems to constitute
a hazard to life or property or to harbor insects or disease which
constitutes a potential threat to other trees within the Village shall
remove such tree or bush at his own expense within 30 days of written
notice to such owner by the Village.
The Village shall have the right to take any action which would
otherwise be required of any owner pursuant to this article and, if
the owner has been given not less than 30 days' written notice
of the intention of the Village to do such work and has failed to
have such work done, to recover the cost of such action from said
owner.
