The Board of Trustees finds that it is in the
public interest to ensure that public streets and sidewalks be disturbed
only with the consent and supervision of the Department of Public
Works and the payment of a fee in connection with the same. The objective
of this article is to promote the public health, safety and general
welfare by providing for safe and convenient public streets and walkways
and to provide revenue upon disturbance of public streets and sidewalks
as compensation for the damage done to the same and to offset the
expense of the cost of review and supervision of such disturbances
by the Village.
Violation of this article is an offense which
shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of $500 for the first
violation within a five-year period; $1,000 for a second violation
within a five-year period; and $1,500 for each subsequent violation
within a five-year period.
