Following a public hearing this ordinance is <br />intended to enhance the safety of the City's street system. This ordinance would primarily <br />provide a clearance zone so no bushes, fences or structures are within the vision clearance <br />triangle, which would extend 30 inches to nine feet above the top of the curb. The code includes <br />a grandfather clause which states that existing buildings shall not be considered an obstruction. <br />Landscaping within the vision clearance triangle which is in existence prior to the date of <br />adoption of the ordinance would be viewed on a case by case basis. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec closed the regular portion of the City Council meeting at 7:33 p.m. in order to <br />conduct a public hearing. <br /> <br />City Council/June 8, 2004 <br />Page 7 of 23 <br /> <br /> <br />
