No organized activity or event shall be held on any of the waters
in the Town of Arbor Vitae during such times when such waters are
ice-bound unless a permit for such organized activity or event has
been received from the Town Board.
Applications for permits for organized activities and events
on such ice-bound waters shall be made on forms prescribed by the
Arbor Vitae Town Board. Such application shall be submitted to the
Town Clerk no less than 30 days prior to the date on which such activity
or event is to be held.
A. Fee for such organized activity or event shall be $25 for each day
on which the activity or event is to be held.
B. The Town Board shall issue such permits upon being satisfied that
all the requirements of this article have been complied with by the
applicant.
The application for a permit shall provide a space on which
the applicant shall designate all buildings, fences, structures or
other objects of a similar nature which are to be placed on the ice-bound
lake, their approximate dimensions and locations. No such buildings,
fences, structures or other objects shall be placed on the ice, as
part of such organized activity or event, excepting only those which
have been set forth on the application.
All buildings, fences, structures or other objects, including
trash, placed on the ice as part of such organized activity or event
shall be removed by the person, persons, or organization holding or
sponsoring such event within 24 hours following the completion of
the activity or event.
The applicant shall furnish proof to the Town Board of liability
insurance insuring against injuries or damages sustained by any persons
as a result of such activity or event with a single limit of no less
than $1,000,000. Evidence of such insurance shall be maintained current
with the Town Board at all times while the event is held, and for
the period of time following the event and until all buildings, fences,
structures or other objects have been removed. The policy of liability
insurance shall show the Town of Arbor Vitae as additional insured.
The applicant shall furnish a cash bond to the Town in the sum
of $1,000 at the time of filing the application. The purpose of the
bond shall be to ensure that the buildings, fences, structures or
other objects are removed. In the event the applicant fails to remove
such items within 24 hours following the conclusion of the event the
Town may cause such items to be removed and the cost of such removal
shall be deducted from the bond.
This article does not apply to ice-fishing shanties placed on
ice-bound lakes for the purpose of fishing during the year. Organized
activities or events, as hereby regulated, shall not conflict with
ice-fishing shanties which have been placed prior to the activity.
No person shall place an ice-fishing shanty within the area set forth
in the application, and for which a permit has been granted, during
the time of such organized activity or event.
Any person or persons violating this article shall forfeit not
less than $25 nor more than $50 for violations hereof, and $150 for
the second and each subsequent violation. Each day shall constitute
a separate violation of this article.
If any portion of this article shall be deemed invalid by a
court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining portions of this article
shall remain in full force and effect. This article shall supersede
and replace any previous ordinances, regulations or resolutions pertaining
to control of organized activity and events on ice-bound lakes in
