No tree, bush, or shrub shall be planted or transplanted within the right-of-way of any street within the City, except with the approval of the Director of Public Services. Such approval may be granted after ascertaining that the type of planting and its location will not then or in the foreseeable future obstruct safe vision of vehicle drivers or pedestrians, nor adversely affect the safe passage of either, or interfere with any sidewalk, driveway, or utility. The approval of the Director of Public Services will not relieve a person responsible for complying with the requirements set forth in Chapter 11.50 (pertaining to sidewalk and pedestrian clearance areas) and 17.35.020(3) (pertaining to vision clearance areas at intersections) from such compliance. (Ord. 87-41 §1, 1987; Ord. B-105 §2, 1973).
