This chapter shall be known and may be cited hereinafter as the "Snowplow
Registration Law of the Village of Airmont."
It is the intention of the Village Board of the Village of Airmont by
the adoption of this chapter to regulate the plowing of snow by private snow
removal contractors within the Village of Airmont in pursuance of and for
the purpose of securing and protecting the public health, convenience, safety
and welfare and preserving the peace, good order and physical appearance of
the Village of Airmont and its inhabitants. The Village Board finds that in
the plowing of snow by private snow removal contractors, snow is deposited
on public roads and highways, thereby interfering with pedestrian and vehicular
traffic and causing other hazards. It is the purpose of this chapter to protect
the general public from the hazards of snow plowed by private contractors
and the destruction of or injury to persons and property.
No person, firm or corporation shall plow snow or cause or allow same
to be plowed by the use of any vehicle within the Village of Airmont unless
a permit therefor is issued by the Town of Ramapo and is in full force and
effect. Such permit shall be prominently displayed by affixing to the vehicle
so as to be readily visible from the exterior thereof. A copy of this permit
shall be presented to the Village Clerk.
No person shall plow, shovel, sweep or pile snow, ice or other materials
in or beyond the right-of-way of any street or public highway or cause such
to be done so as to interfere with the safety and convenience of public travel.
The Police Department of the Town of Ramapo and/or the Building Inspector
or Code Enforcement Officer of the Village of Airmont, shall have the power,
right and authority to issue an appearance ticket, as the same is defined
in Article 150 of the Criminal Procedure Law of the State of New York, for
the violation of any section or provision of this chapter.
