A. The owner of record of a property with an Urban Coastal Greenway is responsible for maintaining the UCG in accordance with the operative RICRMC Assent, unless the UCG is transferred to another agent (i.e., the municipality, a land trust, etc.) with that agent's agreement to provide maintenance.

Urban coastal greenway management plans shall include a description of all proposed alterations and methods of avoiding problem areas such as the proper placement and maintenance of pathways. Applicants should consult the Council's most recent edition of "Urban Coastal Greenway Design Manual" when preparing an urban coastal greenway management plan.
C. No encroachments shall be allowed within the UCG at any time.
