The height restrictions provided in Section 731-3 shall not apply to natural plants on privately owned, occupied residential property and properties contiguous to the privately owned, occupied residential property provided that such contiguous properties are owned by the same individual, when such natural plants are part of a Managed Natural Landscape Area.

Managed Natural Landscaped Areas shall be set back a minimum of three (3) feet from all property lines, roads, alleys and/or driveways unless the property is abutted by a fence or similar barrier separating it from adjoining residential properties, then the natural landscaping may be planted up to the property line (inside the sidewalk). With the exception of trees, all vegetation in the right of way strip between the sidewalk and street must be kept at a height of less than ten (10) inches.

Managed Natural Landscaped Areas shall not be permitted to overhang or encroach onto any public or private properties, or public sidewalks, streets, or alleys adjacent to the lot, tract or parcel on which they are planted.
