[Added 10-25-1983 by L.L. No. 11-1983]
The regulation of commercial photographic activity is deemed
necessary to preserve the public peace and good order; to prevent
unreasonable use of Village streets, the Village beach, Village buildings
and other public facilities for commercial purposes; and to promote
the health, safety and general welfare of the community, including
the protection and preservation of the property of the Village and
its inhabitants.
[Added 10-25-1983 by L.L. No. 11-1983; amended 10-1-1985 by L.L. No.
15-1985; 2-10-2015 by L.L. No. 1-2015; 3-28-2018 by L.L. No. 6-2018]
No commercial photographic activity shall be conducted without
a permit therefor issued by the Clerk-Treasurer and approved by the
Mayor, which permit may only be granted upon five days' prior written
application therefor. No such permit shall be issued for photographic
activity which in the judgment of the Mayor would unduly obstruct
traffic (vehicular and/or pedestrian) or create any other hazardous
condition or unduly disturb the peace and good order of the Village.
Should traffic control (vehicular and/or pedestrian) in the judgment
of the Mayor become necessary, it is hereby understood that the applicant
will bear the cost of said control. The application shall show the
proposed site(s) and/or equipment, if any, involved. The applicant
shall also supply the Village with proof of public liability insurance
with policy limits of $500,000/$1,000,000. The Village Board may establish
a higher or lower amount of insurance protection for a specific permit
in its sole discretion. The fee for the aforesaid permit shall be
set by resolution of the Village Board.

Editor's Note: A resolution requiring a $1,000 bond for
all applicants requesting photo/filming permits was adopted by the
Board of Trustees 12-3-2002.

Editor's Note: Original § 38-15, Special event
permit or license required; fee, added 4-10-2007 by L.L. No. 6-2007,
which immediately followed this section, was repealed 12-9-2008 by
L.L. No. 8-2008.
[Added 1-10-2017 by L.L.
No. 2-2017]
No person shall cast, throw, place or deposit, or cause to be
cast, thrown, placed or deposited, any paper, throwaways, debris,
rubbish, refuse, leaves or other foreign matter in or upon any street,
lane, alley or public place in the Village of Sag Harbor.
[Added 1-10-2017 by L.L.
No. 2-2017]
A.
During
the period of time established by the Superintendent of Public Works
for fall pickup of leaves by the Village, the owner of property abutting
a public street, or an employee of such owner (but not an independent
contractor), may place leaves emanating from such property along the
shoulder of such street (but not in the roadway) in long, narrow piles
or in biodegradable paper bags.
C.
Fall leaf pickup is intended to be for pickup of leaves placed by the abutting landowner an employee thereof (such as a caretaker employed by the owner to take care of the owner's property) pursuant to and in accordance with Subsection A above, and thus the provisions of Subsection A above are intended to be a limited exception to § 192-16. Fall leaf pickup is not intended to be for pickup of leaves placed by an independent contractor (An independent contractor is expected to dispose of leaves at a disposal site rather than placing leaves on the right-of-way of a public street for pickup by the Village.), and thus the littering prohibition (§ 192-16) is intended to prohibit an independent contractor from placing leaves on the right-of-way of a public street.
