The owners, occupants, or tenants of any premises abutting any
street or sidewalk are prohibited from throwing, placing or depositing
any snow or ice that accumulated on private property into or upon
any Township street or sidewalk.
Owners, occupants or tenants of any business premises shall
move or remove any large mounds of snow in their parking lot(s) that
obstruct any vehicle or pedestrian site distance triangle.
No owner or operator of premises with parking spaces reserved
for handicapped drivers, and no tenant, contractor or other person,
may block access to such parking space by the plowing, piling or placing
of snow.
If snow or ice is not removed, treated or handled in accordance with §§
347-11 and

The governing body shall examine such certification and, if found to be correct, shall cause such cost to be charged against such real estate so abutting or bordering upon such sidewalks, and the amount so charged shall forthwith become a lien and a tax upon such real estate or land and be added to, recorded and collected in the same way and manner as the taxes next to be levied and assessed upon such premises and shall bear interest and be enforced and collected by the same officers and in the same manner as other taxes. The imposition and collection of a fine or fines imposed by the provision of this article shall not constitute any bar to the right of the Township of Mount Olive to collect the cost as certified for the removal of said snow or ice in the manner herein authorized.
Any person, firm, or corporation that violates any provision
of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be punishable by one
