[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Yorkville 8-6-2019 by L.L. No.
1-2019. Amendments noted where applicable.]
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
Refers to the parcel of land between the edge of the roadway
and the property line, as determined by the Highway Superintendent.
A.
Nothing may be placed or planted in or on any Village right-of-way
or thoroughfare.
B.
Anything placed or planted in or on any Village right-of-way or thoroughfare
that is found to be in violation of the restriction may be removed
by Village of Yorkville personnel upon 10 days' written notice
to the property owner.
C.
In the event that the Village of Yorkville Police Department, Codes
Officer or Highway Superintendent determine that a public hazard and
a threat to public safety and motor vehicle traffic exists, anything
placed or planted may be removed immediately.
If, within said 10 days, the owner or occupant should fail,
refuse or neglect to abate the hazard or nuisance, the Village of
Yorkville may undertake to abate the same through use of its own personal
facilities or equipment, or the Village of Yorkville may contract
with an independent contractor or contractors to do the work and cause
the hazard or nuisance abated. In either event, the cost incurred
by the Village of Yorkville to accomplish the abatement of the hazard
or nuisance shall result in the immediate billing to the owner of
the lot, tract or parcel of land where the hazard or nuisance existed.
In the event of nonpayment for the abatement of the hazard or nuisance,
the cost shall be assessed against and be a lien upon the lot, tract
or parcel of land where the hazard or nuisance existed. Such lien
shall be added to and become and form part of the taxes next to be
assessed and levied upon such lot or land, shall bear interest at
the same rate as taxes and shall be enforced by the same office and
in the same manner as taxes.
