It shall be unlawful in the Town of Hempstead, outside of any
incorporated village, for any person other than the owner to intrude,
trespass or go upon any public or private property, including any
bulkhead, jetty or rock wall, which property or properties have been
posted as hereinafter provided, without the written consent of the
owner of such private property or public official having charge of
any public property; or to pick any flowers, shrubs or trees upon
any public or private property, or mar or deface any public or private
building. Failure by any person to exhibit such written consent to
any peace officer or any Town official or employee shall be presumptive
evidence that he has no consent or permission to be upon the property.
Notices or signboards not less than 14 inches high by 24 inches
wide and with letters not less than four inches high shall be so placed
that when in position each notice or signboard shall not be separated
for a distance between signs greater than 200 feet.
Whether or not such property shall have been posted as hereinabove
provided, no persons shall enter or go upon any lands of the Town
of Hempstead, whether uplands or lands under water, for the purpose
of occupying the same or of erecting any structure thereon or of removing
from such lands any soil, topsoil, sand or gravel, nor shall any person
occupy such lands or erect any structure thereon or remove therefrom
any soil, topsoil, sand or gravel, without having first obtained the
consent of the Town Board of the Town of Hempstead and without complying
in all respects with the conditions, if any, upon which such consent
shall be granted, but nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
prevent any resident of the Town of Hempstead from using any Town
park or waters for ordinary bathing, boating, fishing or other public
recreational purposes.
