Any person desiring to alter any storm drainage facility
in the Town shall first obtain a written permit from the Mayor and
Council to do so. No such permit is required for routine cleaning,
maintenance and repair of storm drainage facilities.
Any alteration permitted by the Mayor and Council
shall conform to the storm drainage facility design and construction
standards, requirements and specifications prescribed by the Town
as part of the permit.
Unless the Mayor and Council agree otherwise,
the total cost for any storm drainage facility alteration shall be
the sole responsibility of the person desiring the alteration and
whose property abuts the storm drainage facility to be altered.
Whenever any person, excluding all departments of
the Town, shall receive a permit to alter any storm drainage facility
in the Town, the person receiving such permit shall obligate himself
to pay to the Town the sum of money equal to the cost of a complete
restoration of the storm drainage facility of the Town that was to
be altered. Satisfactory restoration of the storm drainage facility
shall satisfy the above requirement.
The Mayor and Council, at their discretion, may require
an applicant to furnish a good and sufficient indemnity bond to indemnify
the Town against loss and any default or negligence of any such applicant
in the exercise of the activities authorized by any such permit or
for any default in payments of the costs of restoration.
Violations of the article shall be punishable as a
municipal infraction. Violators shall be subject to a fine not to
exceed $100. Repeat offenders may be assessed a fine not to exceed
$200 for each offense.
