[Adopted as Ch. 15.28 of the 1997 Code]
The use of streets for the storage of materials in the process
of construction or alteration of a building may be granted where the
same will not unduly interfere with traffic and will not reduce the
usable width of the roadway to less than 18 feet; provided that no
portion of the street other than that directly abutting on the premises
on which work is being done shall be used, except with the consent
of the owner or occupant of the premises abutting on such portion.
Any person seeking to make such use of the street shall file an application
for a permit therefor with the City Clerk, together with a bond with
corporate sureties to be approved by the City Council, to indemnify
the City for any loss or damage which may be incurred by it by reason
of such use and occupation.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
No construction or alteration operations shall be carried on
at nighttime if the same are accompanied by loud noises, except for
emergency repairs undertaken by the City or a utility.
No sidewalk, curbing or guttering shall be obstructed in the
course of building construction or alteration without a special permit
from the City being first obtained.
It shall be the duty of the person or corporation doing any
construction, altering or wrecking work in the City to do the same
with proper care for the safety of persons and property. Warnings,
barricades and lights shall be maintained wherever necessary for the
protection of pedestrians or traffic; and temporary roofs over sidewalks
shall be constructed wherever there is danger to pedestrians from
falling articles or materials.
[Amended 4-20-2015 by Ord. No. 3180]
Any person, firm or corporation violating any provision of this
article shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than $750 for each
offense; and a separate offense shall be deemed committed on each
day during or on which a violation occurs or continues.
