[Added 5-10-2010 by L.L. No. 3-2010[1]]
The Board of Trustees hereby determines that it is in the community
interest to regulate the conduct of sales of personal property upon
residential premises. It is the intention and purpose of this chapter
to impose such regulations to prohibit the intrusion of commercial
activities in residential areas and to regulate the conduct of such
personal property sales to protect the character of the community
and minimize traffic, noise and other disruptions or disturbances.
No person shall hold or conduct, or cause to be conducted, on
any residential premises within the Village of Lake Success any sale
of personal property (including but not limited to garage sales, basement
sales, porch sales, yard sales or tag sales) or resale of used household
clothing or other personal property owned by the seller or by another
person residing at the same premises as the seller, without first
obtaining a permit.
Application for a permit shall be made to the Village Clerk
at least seven days prior to the scheduled date of sale, on a form
to be supplied by the Village.
No permit shall be issued for a sale or sales extending beyond
a period of two consecutive days, and not more than two permits shall
be issued for any residential premises in one calendar year. No sale
shall begin prior to 10:00 a.m. or continue after 4:00 p.m. on any
day.
A permit for a sale regulated by this chapter shall be issued
by the Superintendent of Buildings, upon a proper and sufficient showing
by the applicant and a determination by the Village that proper safety
and environmental precautions have been or will be taken to protect
the public and that proper precautions have been taken to minimize
traffic congestion.
A building official, a police officer, or any other person designated
by the Village shall have the authority and right of entry to any
premises where a sale regulated by this chapter is being conducted,
for the purposes of inspection for a permit, and such person may direct
the immediate closing of such sale upon a determination that the sale
is being conducted in violation of this chapter or that the public
safety and welfare is being imperiled thereby.
A permit issued pursuant to this chapter shall be prominently
and conspicuously displayed at the premises at all times during such
sale and shall be exhibited to any person upon request.
No more than two signs advertising such sale, each of which
is no larger than 24 inches by 12 inches in size, shall be permitted.
One sign shall be located on the premises that are conducting the
sale, and the other shall be located suitably within an unpaved area
of the Village right-of-way. Sale signs must be removed at the conclusion
of the sale each day.
