§ 522.12 ADJACENT OWNER RESPONSIBILITY.

• The owner of land adjacent to any village street or highway, when acting within the provisions of this Ordinance, may plant and maintain trees in the adjacent parkway area. Property owners are responsible for the reasonable and routine maintenance of trees and other landscaping in the adjacent parkway area.
• No property owner shall allow a tree, or other plant growing on their property or within the adjacent parkway to obstruct or interfere with pedestrians or the view of drivers, thereby creating a hazard. If an obstruction persists, the Village Administrator shall notify the property owner to prune or remove the tree or plant. If the owner fails to comply with the notice, the Village may undertake the necessary work and charge the cost to the property owner.
