Good question. I believe the 13 feet is for utility easements---storm drains, water mains, power lines and sewers are all along the side of the street and may at some time have to be dug up for repairs, which is why they don't want anything a homeowner places there in their way. Why specifically 13 feet? I don't know, but perhaps community standards does.
Of course, in this case, it was just flowers. I'm sure there is lawn there, so the difference is marginal at best. I wonder if the troll brought a tape measure and stepped on his property. If I catch someone doing that at my house, I'll make a citizen's arrest for trespassing and wait for the police to come.
