[Adopted 8-28-1995 by L.L. No. 2-1995]
Any person, persons or corporation who or which
shall place or cause to be placed any stone, brick, boards, plank,
timber, lumber or other materials for building in or upon any street,
alley, public square or public place in the village shall first obtain
a written permit therefor from the Superintendent of Public Works.
Said Superintendent of Public Works may give such permission, in writing,
to any person to place and keep building material in front of the
lot or place where the materials are to be used upon proof by the
applicant that undue hardship would result if such permission were
not obtained.
It is not intended by this Article that any
state or county highway be included or be put to any such use.
Such permission shall not be for a longer period
than two weeks, nor shall such permission authorize the obstruction
of any sidewalks or gutters nor more than one-third (1/3) of the carriageway
of the street in front of such lot or place. No permit shall be renewed
unless the Board of Trustees, after hearing the applicant, considers
that the circumstances justify such a renewal.
Any such permit may be revoked by the Superintendent
of Public Works or the Board of Trustees.
Every person obtaining such a permit shall place
reasonable and proper barriers around such obstruction. Between the
hours of sunset and sunrise, at least two lanterns or flares must
be placed so as to warn of possible danger.
As soon as the work shall have been completed
or permission shall have expired or been revoked, all materials and
any rubbish accumulated must be immediately removed.
Any violation of this Article shall be punishable
by a fine not to exceed $250 and/or by imprisonment for not more than
15 days for each offense. Each day during which such violation shall
continue shall constitute and be a separate offense.
