§ 1002-8.038. Hedge and fence—Permit required.  


Latest version.
  • No hedge, shrub, or other planting whatever, or fence or similar structure, except as provided in Section 1002-8.042, shall be planted, erected, or maintained in a right-of-way without a permit.

    No hedge, shrub, or other planting whatever or fence or similar structure shall be maintained across any existing walkway in a sidewalk area or shoulder. The intent of this restriction is to keep a walkway free for pedestrian or other lawful public travel without interference by or with vehicular travel. No encroachment will be permitted or maintained which impedes, obstructs, or denies pedestrian or other lawful travel within the limits of the right-of-way of a public highway or impairs adequate sight distance for safe pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
