<br />June 10, 2019, Meeting – Item 5 <br />property owners are responsible for maintaining the planting strip (including clearing debris and garbage), in most cases it is not immediately clear whether the abutting property owner has the authority to prevent someone from using the planting strip, even when the use damages the vegetation, leaves behind garbage, or creates safety problems for people using the transportation system. The lack of clarity regarding the authority of the abutting property owner over the planting strip can be addressed by amending EC 7.730 to include the following two sentences: “When the planting strip (i.e., the space between the curb and the sidewalk) is a different surface-type than the sidewalk and is clearly separate and distinct from the sidewalk, the property owner responsible pursuant to this section for maintaining the planting strip in front of their property is the person in charge of those premises for purposes of EC 4.807.” <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS This item is scheduled for a public hearing only. <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION No recommendation is provided at this time. <br /> <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br />None. <br />ATTACHMENTS A.
