§ 96.02 MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY.
A private property owner is responsible for maintenance of the boulevard or unopened right-of-way directly abutting the owner’s property. Such maintenance includes, but is not limited to, mowing grass, watering, removing weeds and maintenance of trees.
§ 96.03 PRIVATE USE OF BOULEVARDS.
Within a boulevard, nothing shall be erected, placed, planted, or allowed to grow except the following:
(A) Grasses, flowers, and/or similar vegetation (non-noxious varieties only);

§ 96.04 PRIVATE USE OF AN UNOPENED RIGHT-OF-WAY.
Within an unopened right-of-way, nothing shall be erected, placed, or installed except for private improvements as authorized by § 96.05. Any such use by a private property owner authorized by § 96.05 is limited by, and subordinate to, the use of the right-of-way by the City or other persons authorized.
§ 96.05 CERTAIN PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS.
(A) Private improvement. The City realizes that in certain instances, a private property owner may wish to erect, place, or plant certain private improvements within the boulevard or unopened right-of-way abutting the owner’s land. Such improvements include, but are not limited to, ornamental fences, hedges, berms, sidewalks, driveways, pavement, planters, statues, irrigation systems, rock, and landscaping (hereinafter “private improvement”). Private improvements shall not include any permanent features such as a concrete foundation or other feature requiring major removal efforts.
(B) Permit required. No person shall erect, place, or plant any private improvement within a boulevard or unopened right of way abutting their private property without first obtaining a permit from the Public Works Supervisor. In addition, any existing feature which does not hold a valid permit shall require a permit at the time of any reconstruction or repair, or earlier if required by the City. If this abutting boulevard is owned by Blue Earth County or the Minesota Department of Transportation, a permit may also be required by such jurisdiction.
(C) Application and fee. A person requesting a permit under this Chapter shall submit an application on forms provided by the City, together with the fee established by Council. The application shall be accompanied with scale drawings of the boulevard or unopened right-of-way and the proposed private improvement, as well as a written description of the materials and construction methods to be used.
(D) Review of application; appeal.
(1) The public works supervisor may deny any application if the public works supervisor determines that the private improvement would cause, or could cause in the future, any inconvenience to the public. In review of an application, public works supervisor considers factors including, but not limited to, the following:
(a) Effect of the private improvement on snow plowing and snow storage;
(b) Effect of the private improvement on public safety, including traffic visibility and pedestrian safety;
(c) Effect of the private improvement on public land and public or private utilities; and (d) The public necessity and utility of the private improvement and the availability of alternate locations for the private improvement.
(2) To appeal the denial of a permit application, the aggrieved applicant must submit a written request for hearing to the City Administrator within seven days following receipt of the decision of denial.
(E) Permit revocation. The City reserves the right to revoke any permit at any time and for any reason. If the permit is revoked, the property owner has 60 days to remove the private improvement.
(F) Maintenance of private improvement. The abutting landowner shall be responsible for the maintenance of any private improvement located within the boulevard or unopened right-of-way. Any unmaintained private improvements shall be deemed to be a nuisance. The City may exercise any remedies or rights it has at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, abating the nuisance or taking possession of the facilities and restoring the right-of-way to a useable condition.
(G) Damage to or by private improvement. The City shall not assume any responsibility, and the abutting landowner shall assume all responsibility for any damage caused to or by any private improvement located within the boulevard or unopened right-of-way.
(H) Removal requirement. Any private improvement not holding a valid permit is deemed to be a public nuisance and is subject to abatement according to Chapter 94 of this Code. The City may bill the property owner for the cost of abatement or assess the abatement against the abutting property in accordance with M.S. Ch. 429, or other applicable law.
(I) Conditions. A person requesting a permit under this Chapter must:
(1) Accept all of the terms of this section;
(2) Commence and complete the private improvement within the time specified in the application; and
(3) Make such private improvement at the person’s sole expense without any expense of any kind to the City.

§ 96.07 TRIMMING OF TREES. Private property trees must be trimmed so as not to cause a hazard to persons or property or abutting property. All trees shall be pruned to sufficient height to allow free passage to pedestrian and vehicle traffic 9 feet above sidewalks and 16 feet above streets.
