[Adopted 12-28-2015 by Ord. No. 1242]
No portable or in-place private basketball hoop system may be
temporarily or permanently placed within or so as to obstruct the
public right-of-way. Such private systems may not be placed on public
streets or sidewalks, at the edge of curblines so as to encroach or
overhang public streets nor where vehicles may be parked on public
streets and public parking lots.
A notice to remove shall be provided to such persons owning
or responsible for such basketball hoop systems that are impermissibly
located within the public right-of-way. There shall be a presumption
that the person(s) who have violated this provision are those who
control the private property on which the system is situated, or if
the system is in a public right-of-way, those who control the private
property closest to the system. The notice shall be attached to and/or
placed at the front door of the property, together with a copy of
the article. Persons owning or responsible for such systems shall
remove the equipment from the impermissible location within five days
of the date of the notice, which date may be adjusted in the event
an issue arises regarding identification of the owner. Such systems
remaining in an impermissible location after the passing of the notice
period shall be subject to forcible relocation and/or impoundment.
The Police Department and the Superintendent of Public Works
shall enforce the provisions of this article.
