It shall be the duty of every owner or occupant
to keep the trees and shrubs on his premises so trimmed as not to
interfere with passersby on the sidewalk or roadway. All overhanging
limbs shall be at least eight feet above the center of the sidewalk
and 13 feet above the roadway.
It shall be the duty of the owner or occupant
of property located at street intersections to keep all hedges, bushes,
flowers or other growing plants so trimmed as not to obscure the vision
of motorists approaching the corner of any intersecting street. A
maximum height of four feet to the top of such hedge, bush or growing
plant from the level of the roadbed of the contiguous street is permissible
hereunder.
Any owner who has been notified by the Village Clerk that the trees or shrubs on his premises are in violation of either § 90-1 or 90-2 hereof and shall fail to correct the condition within five days of the sending of such notice to his last known address by mail shall be in violation of this article and, in addition to the penalties otherwise enforceable, the Village may thereafter so trim offending trees and hedges as to correct the prohibited conditions and assess the cost thereof against the owners of the adjacent property. Such costs, if not paid, shall be assessable against the property as a tax thereon.
