I want to plant trees/put my fence along the road. Is that okay?

Trees and fence should only be placed outside of the right-of-way. Trees and fence in the right-of-way can be a hazard to the traveling public because of visual obstruction and a fixed object. Intersections are addressed in the zoning ordinance as “No fence, wall, hedge, tree, shrub, or other object which obstructs sight lines and elevations between 2½ and 8 feet above the street shall be placed, planted, or permitted to remain on any corner lot within the triangular area formed by the street right-of-way lines and a line connecting points 35 feet from the intersection of said street lines, or in the case of a rounded property corner, from the intersection of the street right-of-way lines extended.”
