[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Scarsdale 9-27-1988
by L.L. No. 6-1988. Amendments noted where applicable.]
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:

- Parks which have been dedicated by resolution or local law of the Village Board as "public park property."
Physical displays may be placed by private parties on public park property
only. Such placements shall be under the following terms and conditions:
A.
Designated display areas; commercial advertisement; application.
(1)
Chase Park and Boniface Circle shall be the designated
display areas. An alternate site to these display areas may be approved by
the Village Board when it has determined in consultation with police, fire
and building officials that those display areas are not the best location
in the interests of public health and/or because the physical display would
interfere with the primary uses of these parks and/or because of traffic and
safety hazards to motorists and people using these parks.
(2)
No physical displays containing commercial advertisement
will be permitted.
(3)
Any private party wishing to place a display in a permitted
location shall submit an application to the Village Manager. Such application
shall include a description of the display, an accompanying sketch or plan
with sufficient detail. The plans shall clearly indicate the method for anchoring
the display to the ground. The application shall be submitted at least 60
days prior to the first date the applicant is requesting to place the display
on public park property.
B.
Determination.
(1)
Upon receipt of the application, the Village Manager
shall forward a copy to the Police Chief, Fire Chief and the Building Inspector
to determine the structural soundness of the proposed display and determine
if such display is free from hazardous conditions.
(2)
If the Police Chief, Fire Chief and/or Building Inspector
(hereinafter "village personnel") require further information to make their
determination, then they shall request the necessary information from the
applicant. The applicant shall supply all requested information within five
days of the request.
(3)
Within 15 days of receipt of all necessary information,
village personnel shall advise the Village Board whether the proposed display,
as described herein, appears to be structurally sound and free from any hazardous
conditions. If the Village Board concludes that the display is not structurally
sound and free from any hazardous conditions or if insufficient information
has been submitted, no permit shall be issued.
C.
If it has been determined by the Village Board that the
proposed display is permissible under the above requirements, a permit will
be issued upon the filing by the applicant of any agreement to defend, indemnify
and hold the village harmless in connection with the display, in a form to
be approved by the Village Attorney, and proof of insurance protecting the
Village of Scarsdale in an amount to be determined in each case by the Village
Manager after consultation with the Village Risk Manager. Such insurance shall
be evidenced by a certificate of insurance, which shall be submitted to the
Village Attorney for approval as to form and correctness.
D.
Each display shall be accompanied by a sign placed within
four feet of such display and measuring 14 inches by 24 inches. Such sign
should state in black letters, one inch high, on white background substantials
as follows:

a private organization.

E.
Any utility cost resulting from the display shall be
paid for by the applicant.

this chapter shall be subject to a fine of up to $250 per violation. Each
day of violation hereof shall be deemed a separate violation.
