Title

Consideration of and action on an Ordinance Amending Chapter 94, Section 94-1 of City Code pertaining to Obstructions and Encroachments and Amended Traffic Regulations

 

Body

Summary: 

 

With this action, Council is amending City Code to strengthen requirements which call for property owners to maintain growth in the rights-of-way located between the edge of their property and the curb.  The new Section C denotes property owner responsibility for this, and reads as follows:

 

(c)                      Any existing trees, shrubs, plants, grass or other vegetation in the right-of-way between the abutting property owner’s lot and the edge of the street shall be maintained by the abutting property owner.

 

This new verbiage was crafted by City Attorney Jim Fox.
