The Board of Trustees of the Village of Great
Neck Plaza hereby finds that its existing ordinances which authorize
the Board of Trustees to require landowners to construct and/or repair
sidewalks adjoining their premises are inadequate and do not vest
the Superintendent of Public Works with the power to ensure that work
is done in a proper manner. The Board of Trustees therefore finds
that it is necessary to adopt this article in order to establish procedures
which will govern the construction and repair of sidewalks, curbs
and gutters by adjoining landowners.
As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
PERSON
An individual, a partnership, a corporation, an association,
a joint-stock company, a trust, any unincorporated organization or
a government or political subdivision thereof.
SIDEWALK
The area on each side of the road from the property line
to the gutter line or, if there is a curb, to the roadway side of
the curb.
STREET
Includes but shall not be limited to roads, gutters, driveways
which lead into roads and curbs and sidewalks adjacent to roads.
[Amended 6-19-1996 by L.L. No. 4-1996]
Any person who shall violate the provisions
of this article shall be liable to pay a penalty not to exceed $250
or a period of imprisonment not exceeding 15 days, or both, for each
such violation.
This local law shall supersede all other local
laws, ordinances, resolutions, rules and regulations of the Village
of Great Neck Plaza to the extent that they are inconsistent with
this article. Ordinance No. 44 of the Village of Great Neck Plaza
entitled, "Sidewalks on Private Property," is hereby repealed.
