The Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village
of Roslyn Harbor has found and hereby determines that the operation
and parking of certain vehicles on streets, highways or the Village
right-of-way have created a hazardous condition for the residents
of the Incorporated Village of Roslyn Harbor and to motorists using
the thoroughfares within the Village. The operation of certain vehicles
and construction equipment damages Village streets and highways, causing
repairs to be borne by all Village residents. The parking of certain
vehicles for protracted periods of time also detracts from the aesthetic
quality of life in the Village which the Board of Trustees is bound
to protect.
As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated. Lack of a commercial license plate
or commercial registration shall not be conclusive proof that the
vehicle or dumpster is not a commercial vehicle or construction vehicle
as defined herein.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLE
Any trailer, boat, tractor, truck, construction vehicle or
dumpster having a capacity of at least 10 cubic yards.
CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE
Includes heavy equipment and machinery, whether or not self-propelled,
such as, by way of illustration and not by way of limitation, caterpillar
or crawler-type equipment, road rollers, trailer cranes, power shovels,
road building machines, bulldozers, earthmovers and all vehicles,
equipment or machinery which moves on treads, tracks or metal wheels.
Any occupant or owner of real property within the Village who parks or permits the operation of a construction vehicle on his property or the parking of a commercial vehicle on a street, highway or right-of-way of the Village, and the owner of any such commercial vehicle, shall be guilty of a violation and shall be subject to a fine as provided in Chapter
1, Article
I of this Code. Each violation of this article shall be deemed a continuing violation and each day that the commercial vehicle remains parked or in operation without a permit or in excess of the time permitted by such permit shall be deemed a separate violation.
