No person shall place or cause to be placed or kept or abandoned
any material, stone, sand, gravel, fill, lumber, cartons or boxes
of merchandise or any other material of whatever nature or description
upon any street, highway, road or public walk so as to obstruct or
impede, in any manner, the free and clear use thereof by the general
public, without first obtaining a permit in writing from the Village
Board.
[Added 4-2-2001 by L.L. No. 2-2001]
No occupant of any store, shop, restaurant, office, hotel or
other public place in the Village shall use or occupy the sidewalk
opposite to and against said store or other business place with any
goods, wares or merchandise, except that not more than 25% of the
width of said sidewalk immediately next to the building may be occupied.
Said displays cannot obstruct the view or impede the pedestrian walkway.
The prescribed hours are limited to the store's regular business
hours.
No person shall discard, throw, dump or dispose of any rubbish,
fill, earth, rocks, dirt or matter of any kind into any gully, stream,
culvert, watercourse, ditch, drain, creek or brook so as to interfere
with the normal flow of said waters without first obtaining a written
permit from the Village Board.
No permit shall be issued unless a satisfactory bond is posted
with the Village to restore the street to be opened or the drain to
be repaired, as the case may be. A bond satisfactory for such purpose
may be either a sum of money equal to the cost of restoring the condition
to its prior state or a performance bond issued by a surety company.
[Amended 7-6-1983 by L.L. No. 7-1983]
Every owner, lessee, occupant or person having charge of any
building, lot or ground within the Village shall also be required
