Property owners must maintain required landscape materials in healthy condition, replace dead or diseased plantings, and trim trees so they do not obstruct sidewalks, streets, or sight triangles. Trees overhanging public rights-of-way must be kept clear of vehicle and pedestrian travel ways. Failure to maintain approved landscape installations can trigger zoning enforcement.
Failing to maintain required landscaping; allowing dead trees on commercial sites; obstructing sight visibility; encroaching on rights-of-way.
