Such signs shall be erected, installed and maintained by and at the expense of the owners, operators, lessees or tenants of said site. If a sign and markings called for hereinunder are not installed within 30 days after written request by the Incorporated Village of Greenwood Lake, the Village may proceed to install the same and impose the cost thereof upon the owner of the site.
