[Adopted as Art. XIX of the General Bylaws; amended 6-13-2021 by Art. 8]
[Amended 5-9-2023 ATM by Art. 31]
Property owners whose property abuts sidewalks in Southampton shall be required to clear such sidewalks of ice and snow during the winter months. Such clearing of ice and snow must be completed within 24 hours after the storm ends. If said property is not cleared, fines will be assessed according to Chapter 203, Noncriminal Disposition. When removing snow and ice, consideration must be given to not worsening the problems for adjacent property owners. If snow or ice cannot be wholly removed from the sidewalk, the property owner shall sprinkle thereon sand, ashes, sawdust, or other suitable substance so that such sidewalk shall not be slippery and shall be safe and convenient for public use.
Senior citizens with age-related limitations and individuals with documented disabilities who are physically unable to clear walkways must make alternate arrangements with caregivers, family, or neighbors to clear the walkway within 24 hours.
