[Adopted 10-12-1982 by L.L. No.
6-1982 (Subpart 17, Div. 2, of the 1974 Code)]
The Superintendent of Highways is authorized
to issue a permit for the holding of a neighborhood block party, celebration
or event on a Town street; provided, however, that no such permit
shall be issued under this article nor shall any street be blocked
for the holding of a garage sale, yard sale, bazaar, rummage sale
or other similar activity having as its principal purpose fund-raising
for an individual or an organization, or for a political meeting or
rally, carnival, or a theatrical or musical performance such as a
rock concert or similar event.
An application for such permit shall be filed
with the Superintendent of Highways not less than three days prior
to the holding of such event. The application shall state the name
and address of the applicant, the name of the street or streets and
a description of the portion or portions thereof desired to be blocked,
a description of the party, celebration or event proposed to be held,
the date and hours thereof, and such further information as the Superintendent
of Highways may require, and shall be accompanied by a fee as set
by resolution of the Town Board from time to time, which shall be
nonrefundable in the event the permit is denied.
Such permit may authorize the blocking of a
street or such portion thereof as shall be described therein on the
date and during the hours therein stated. No such permit, however,
shall be issued where the Superintendent of Highways finds that the
blocking of any street or portion thereof will unduly interfere with
the flow of vehicular traffic or cause such congestion as will endanger
the public or seriously impair its safety.
No permit issued hereunder shall:
A.Â
Authorize the blocking of any street after the hour
of 8:00 p.m. and before the hour of 11:00 a.m.;
B.Â
Authorize the obstruction of any street by any thing
or object which cannot be readily moved to allow the passage of emergency
or hazard vehicles; or
C.Â
Have the effect of authorizing the blocking of any
street or portion thereof more than twice in any calendar year.
