not include a garage sale, yard sale, bazaar, rummage sale or other
similar activity having the principal purpose of fund-raising for
an individual or an organization, nor shall it include a political
meeting or rally, a carnival or theatrical or musical performances,
such as rock concerts or similar events.

The Board of Trustees or its designee shall
be authorized to issue a permit for the temporary blocking of a street
for the purpose of holding a party. An application for such permit
shall be filed with the Board at least 10 days before the commencement
of such party. Such application shall contain at least the following
information: the name and address of the applicant; the name of the
street or streets and a description of the portions thereof to be
blocked; a description of the specific party to be held; and the date
and the hours thereof. The application may require such additional
information as the Board of Trustees shall prescribe by resolution.
The application shall be accompanied by a fee
in an amount set by resolution of the Board of Trustees,[1] which fee shall not be refundable in the event that the
permit is denied. The permit shall be granted by the Board of Trustees
upon determining that the party is authorized by this article. The
permit shall be denied if the Board finds that blocking the street
or portion thereof on the date requested in the application will unduly
interfere with the flow of vehicular traffic or upon determining that
the party is not authorized under this article. The Board shall advise
the applicant, in writing, of the reason for denial of the application.
The Board of Trustees shall have the authority to waive the fee if
the application is from a nonprofit or charitable organization.
A permit issued pursuant to this article shall
be valid only for the date and the hours specified thereon.
The applicant shall be responsible for removal
of litter, debris and other materials from the street or portion thereof
used for the party which is attributable to or caused by the party.

a party shall not be obstructed by obstacles which cannot be readily
moved to allow emergency and hazard vehicles to enter it in response
to an emergency.
