A. Except as provided below, no person, entity, or association shall
be permitted to place, pile, store, or accumulate any goods, wares,
merchandise, boxes, containers, dumpsters, storage units, stands,
commodities, or articles of any kind on or above any part of any of
the public streets or sidewalks within the Borough.
B. Nothing herein shall prevent the placement of the following on the
public streets or sidewalks:
(1) Any items being taken to or from any premises in the ordinary course
of delivery, pickup, or transportation;
(2) The erection of any improvements permitted or otherwise approved
by the Borough or otherwise permitted pursuant to the Narberth Borough
Code;
(3) Traffic safety cones rented from the Borough;
(4) Refuse containers, recycling containers, and properly stored yard waste when placed for regular collection during the permitted day and time period and when placed in a manner permitted under Chapter
437, Solid Waste;
(5) A temporary portable storage unit or temporary construction dumpster
placed pursuant to the terms and conditions of an approved permit
issued by the Borough, with such permit conditions and terms, and
permit fees, as established by resolution of Narberth Borough Council.
No person, entity, or association shall be permitted to place
any chairs, cones, or other objects within a public street, including
on-street parking spaces, to reserve a future use or occupancy of
such parking space, excepting the placement of traffic safety cones
rented from the Borough or if otherwise permitted by the Borough.
No person, entity, or association shall be permitted to hang
signs or banners or similar advertising devices above any part of
the public streets or sidewalks within the Borough, provided that
nothing herein shall prevent the erection of any such signs or banners
approved by the Borough or otherwise permitted pursuant the Narberth
Borough Code. All other signage shall comply with the requirements
of the Borough's Zoning Code.
Where it is determined by the Borough that there is an obstruction
or incursion within the right-of-way in violation of this article,
the property owner shall receive a notice of the violation that provides
for the obstruction to be removed within seven days or appealed pursuant
to the provisions of this chapter. If the obstruction is not satisfactorily
removed and no appeal is filed, the Borough may proceed to clear the
obstruction from the right-of-way, street, sidewalk verge, or sidewalk
with such costs chargeable to the property owner at the then-current
rates prevailing for labor and materials plus an additional 10%, together
with all charges and expenses. The Borough may file a municipal lien
against the property in violation if such costs and expenses are not
thereafter paid within 30 days, with any additional costs or expenses
to file such lien also payable by the property owner, and/or the Borough
may pursue civil proceedings to collect the same. The removal of the
obstruction by the Borough shall in no manner relieve the property
owner from the imposition of penalties as herein provided.
