(c)

It shall be unlawful for any person to intentionally cause grass clippings or tree leaves to be deposited into a public street or right-of-way other than for a time period of three or less hours to account for temporary storage by property owners raking leaves or cutting grass for general yard maintenance purposes with the intention to remove said leaves and/or grass clippings within this time period.
