[Code 1955, § 5-1.7; Ord. No. 452; Ord. No. 1530, 3-4-2009]
No person shall place any merchandise, material or sign upon, or engage in commercial activity upon, any sidewalk, street or alley; provided, however, that:
(a) 
The City Manager may issue a written permit which shall be valid for a period of not more than 90 days allowing the temporary storage of a reasonable quantity of building and construction materials thereon, which permit shall impose such limitations and requirements as shall protect the safety and general welfare of the public. Before a permit is issued, the applicant shall pay a permit fee as established by resolution of the City Council.
(b) 
Upon application, the Council of the City may, in its discretion, allow a temporary commercial use of streets, alleys or sidewalks if it determines that the proposed use will not unduly interfere with the public use thereof. If such proposed use be granted, the Council shall impose such conditions and requirements to such use as are appropriate to safeguard the public health and safety, to assure needed passage area for pedestrians or vehicles, or both, and to prevent the creation of a public nuisance. The right to exercise any such commercial use of a public street, alley or sidewalk may be terminated forthwith by the Council without notice or hearing thereon.
(c) 
For purposes of this chapter, the occupant of adjacent property, or in the case of unoccupied property, the owner shall be rebuttably presumed to be the owner of the material or commercial activity for any enforcement activities or violations of this chapter.
[Code 1955, § 5-1.13]
(a) 
No person shall go upon, drive or cause to be driven any animal or vehicle on any new pavement, sidewalk, curbing, gutter or other construction work until the same has been completed and any street closing sign or barricade posted or placed thereon has been removed by the proper City officer or employee or other person who is responsible for such construction.
(b) 
No unauthorized person shall move, alter, deface, injure or destroy any part of accessory of any street or alley or any sign or barricade erected or placed to protect, warn or guide the public.
[Code 1955, § 5-1.8; Ord. No. 1530, 3-4-2009]
If any building, fence or other structure, or any tree, hedge or shrub shall extend near to or in any manner encroach upon any part of any street, alley or sidewalk so as to interfere with the public safety or convenience, the enforcing officer shall serve notice upon the owner or occupant of the premises where such encroachment exists, or if the premises are unoccupied and the owner is a nonresident, then by posting such notice in a conspicuous place upon the premises, specifying the extent and location of such encroachment and requiring the owner or occupant to remove the same within 30 days. Refusal or failure to comply with such notice shall be deemed to be a violation of this Code.
