As used in this chapter, the following terms

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.

No physical displays containing commercial advertisement
will be permitted.

Any private party wishing to place a display in a

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.

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

conditions or if insufficient information has been submitted, no permit
shall be issued.

the proposed display is permissible under the above requirements,

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.
