§ 62-167. Unpaved right-of-way and sidewalk maintenance.

Property owners, agents, custodians, lessees, or occupants shall maintain sidewalks and unpaved right-of-ways adjoining their properties between the property boundary line and the street in a clean condition and at a minimum shall:

(a)

Keep such sidewalks and unpaved public right-of-ways clear of refuse, waste, litter, debris, excess vegetation, and weeds; and

(b)

Regularly mow or otherwise maintain unpaved areas in a neat and attractive condition; and

(c)

Prohibit new irrigation systems (supply lines or irrigation heads), trees, bushes or shrubs to be placed, planted or grown on sidewalks or in unpaved right-of-ways without the city's prior written consent. Water distribution patterns for irrigation systems should not encroach into sidewalks or other pavement areas; and

(d)

If an entity or person having jurisdiction or responsibility over a road or public right-of-way performs any routine maintenance or road improvement within any such right-of-way (for the purposes of this article, the term "right-of- way" shall have the same meaning as the definition therefore contained in F.S. § 334.03), the property owner, agent, custodian, lessee, or occupant of the property adjoining the right-of-way shall be responsible for removing and/or relocating mailboxes, flag poles and/or any other personal items and installations located within that portion of the adjoining right-of-way(s) located between the property and the street, including any existing irrigation system components or other property, or he/she/it will otherwise bear the cost for any loss or repair of such items and installations. The city is not responsible for replacement, repair, or reimbursement of such installations or items.
