[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Wolcott as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
[Adopted 8-4-1942]
No parade or public assemblage shall be held on any public street
in said Village, unless written permission therefor be first obtained
from the Village Board. The Village Board may impose such conditions
and regulations as it may deem proper and necessary for the public
health and safety as a condition precedent to granting such permission.
[Amended 8-15-2006 by L.L. No. 1-2006]
The owners and occupants of lots abutting on streets are required
to keep the sidewalks in front of such premises free and clear of
all snow, ice, dirt and other obstructions, and said owners and occupants
are further required to keep such walks in a safe condition for public
travel and to repair and remedy all defects such as, but not limited
to, upheavals, cracks, missing pieces and crumbling. Where a homeowner
removes any or all of a sidewalk for any reason, the homeowner is
responsible to have that sidewalk replaced within one year. After
a sidewalk is removed, the area must be accessible to Village equipment
until the construction has been completed. All sidewalks shall be
four feet wide by four inches thick and constructed of concrete. All
corner lots shall be handicapped accessible. Sidewalks will have three
inches of crushed stone base with wire mesh or fiber reinforcement
added to concrete. Expansion joints shall be every four feet. Concrete
shall be 3,500 psi test or greater. Sidewalks are to be broom finished.
All sidewalks crossing driveways shall be constructed of concrete.
(Sidewalks of other material are not allowed.) For failure to obey
the provisions of this section, the Village Board may cause such sidewalks
to be cleared or repaired, as the case may be, and may assess the
expense thereof upon the adjoining land.
It shall be unlawful for any person to ride a bicycle on the
sidewalks on Main Street between the intersections of Main Street
and Mill Street and Main Street and Lake Avenue and New Hartford Street.
A violation of this section shall constitute a traffic infraction
and shall be punishable accordingly.[1]
It shall be unlawful and all persons are prohibited from placing
or causing to be placed in any street or alley within the corporate
limits of the Village of Wolcott any waste, refuse, papers, brush,
weeds, sticks, stones, ashes or other material detracting in any way
from the cleanliness thereof, or endangering public health, or the
safety of any building or property, and no person shall burn any matter
in any such places except in metal containers.
Any persons violating this article shall be punishable for the
first offense by a fine not exceeding $25 or by imprisonment in the
Wayne County Jail for 25 days, or both, and for a second or subsequent
offense by a fine not exceeding $50 or by imprisonment in the Wayne
County Jail for 50 days, or both.
[Adopted 4-18-1967]
No person shall place any object or display on any public sidewalk
in the Village of Wolcott in such manner as to interfere with the
free and proper use of any portion of said sidewalk by the public,
except not to exceed over three feet from the building. Anything that
is a hazard, in the opinion of the Village Police, without fastening,
shall be deemed a violation.
The temporary obstruction of a sidewalk for the purpose of making
repairs or alterations thereon shall not be deemed a violation of
this article.
The Village Board, upon application by any individual, corporation
or group, and upon finding that the best interests of the Village
will be served thereby, may grant a permit allowing the placing of
sales displays and merchandise on the public sidewalk; provided that
in no event shall such display be such as to leave less than a three-and-one-half-foot
width of sidewalk available for use by the public; and provided further
that no such permit shall be issued for a period of more than two
days.
A violation of this article shall be punishable by a fine not
exceeding $25.
This article shall be effective on and after the 18th day of
April, 1967.
