[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the
Town of Lancaster 8-21-2000 (Ch.
49 of the 1966 Codification). Amendments noted where applicable.]
This chapter is designed to provide a mechanism
to obtain further information regarding the date(s) and location(s)
for yard sales, garage sales, estate sales, auctions or other sales
occurring on residential property within the Town of Lancaster in
order that the Town may put in place the appropriate traffic control
and public safety measures the Town Police Department deems advisable.
[Amended 6-16-2014]
Multiple residences desiring to hold a sale
of personal property of any kind whatsoever where the public is invited
onto a residential site shall obtain a permit from the Town Clerk's
office of the Town of Lancaster at least 10 days prior to the sale
date(s).
There shall be no permit fee for the issuance
of such permit.
A sale at any one location shall be limited
to:
[Amended 6-16-2014]
A.
All signs posted advertising such a sale must be
temporary in nature and must be removed immediately after the sale
ends. Failure to remove signs in a timely fashion may be reason to
deny a future permit.
B.
Prior to the first day of the yard sale, the Lancaster
Highway Department may post "NO PARKING" signs in the neighborhood.
At the conclusion of each yard sale activity, the resident hosting
the sale is to collect the "NO PARKING" signs and place them in their
yard. The signs are not to be disposed of; instead, call the Highway
Department at 716-683-3426 informing them of the location of the signs.
Town employees will pick up the signs on the first workday following
resident notification.
The permit application shall identify the owner
of property, the address of the property, the dates and times of the
sale. In the event that more than one property is involved in the
sale, such as in a neighborhood or block sale, there shall be the
need for only one permit to be issued identifying all of the addresses
involved in the sale.
