[Adopted 8-16-1989 by L.L. No. 4-1989[1]]
[1]
Editor's Note: This local law also superseded
former Article III. Persons on Property Without Benefit of Dwelling,
adopted 6-7-1989 as L.L. No. 2-1989.
It is the intent of this article to regulate
the occupancy of property in the Town of Orchard Park by persons who
remain on property, without benefit of a dwelling, over an extended
period of time and who defecate and urinate on the land.
A.
It shall be a violation of this article for a property
owner in the Town of Orchard Park to allow 10 or more persons to stay,
sleep or remain on property for a period in excess of six hours, outside
a residence, unless such property owner provides appropriate sanitation
facilities. Such sanitation facilities shall be freestanding and unconnected
to any structure on such property.
B.
One sanitation facility, such as a freestanding enclosed
toilet, shall be required for each acre or portion thereof owned by
an individual allowing persons to stay, sleep or remain on property
for a period in excess of six hours, outside a residence. In the event
that more than one sanitation facility is required pursuant to this
section, such facilities shall be evenly distributed about the property.
C.
The property owner shall ensure that temporary structures
such as tents or vehicles are situated in such a way as to allow access
to and from all portions of the premises; that is, the property owner
shall require that fire lanes be available to all portions of the
property.
The provisions of § 99-7 of this article shall not apply to persons occupying a structure for which a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the Building Inspector of the Town of Orchard Park.
This article shall be enforced by the Building
Inspector for the Town of Orchard Park or the Orchard Park Police
Department.
A violation of this article shall be punishable
by a fine in the sum of $250 or 15 days in jail, or both.
