shall have the following meanings:
ABANDONED EXCAVATION

Any excavation, whether created in the course
of a building operation or otherwise, and regardless of whether a
building permit has been issued for the same, which said excavation
has remained in an open and unfinished condition for a period of six
months or more.
(2)
Any excavation as herein defined for which a
building permit was issued and where the building operation under
said permit is arrested prior to completion and the permit therefor
allowed to lapse.
EXCAVATION
Any uncovered cutting or cavity in the earth of any depth
or size created by the removal of earth, stone, topsoil or any other
substance.
B. Any excavation which has been abandoned as herein
defined shall be filled in to the original level of the ground, and
any topsoil removed shall be replaced by the owner, lessee or occupant
of the property where such excavation exists. Should any such owner,
lessee or occupant fail to fill in such excavation and replace any
topsoil removed within 30 days after notice in writing delivered personally
or by registered mail, the City may proceed to fill in the same and
replace any topsoil removed. The cost of such filling and replacement
of topsoil shall be assessed against the property where such excavation
exists.
C. The notice specified in the preceding section shall
be mailed or delivered to the last known address of the owner of the
property on which such abandoned excavation exists as the same appears
upon the records in the office of the Commissioner of Finance and
if there is an occupant or lessee on the premises then to such occupant
or lessee at the premises.
D. The Commissioner of Public Works shall ascertain the
cost of any filling in or replacement of topsoil that may be necessary
and, upon ascertaining the cost of the same, shall prepare a list
specifying the property affected by lot and block numbers as the same
appears on the official assessment map of the City of New Rochelle
and shall file the list in his office and give public notice of such
filing by publication in the official newspaper that said list has
been filed and that for 10 days after the publication of said list
the list may be examined by any person interested herein, and that
upon a time specified in such notice, and at least 10 days after the
publication thereof, he will attend at his office to hear any objections
to said list. The Commissioner of Public Works shall have authority
to make such corrections in the list as may be necessary. After the
time specified for the hearing, the Commissioner of Public Works shall
file said list with corrections, if any, with the Commissioner of
Finance, together with a copy of the notice published, and from the
hour of filing, the amount of the charges specified in said list shall
be a lien upon the property affected thereby. Penalties at the rate
of 7% per annum shall be charged for payment of the fees made more
than 30 days after the filing of the list with the Commissioner of
Finance. Failure on the part of the Commissioner of Public Works to
prepare or publish the list in the manner herein prescribed shall
not invalidate the liens for the cost of filling in any abandoned
excavation or excavations and the replacement of topsoil wherever
the same has been removed.
E. This section shall be applied in addition to the penalties provided in §
281-24. See Section 197-A of the Charter of the City of New Rochelle enacted by Chapter 401 of the Laws of New York, 1956.

line.

A. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of Chapter
331, Zoning, the sale of fruit and vegetables, plants and flowers along certain sidewalks fronting premises used for such sales pursuant to the underlying zoning may be permitted by the Department of Development under the requirements contained herein. However, it is determined that such sidewalk sales must be strictly controlled to protect the public health, safety and welfare. Adequate sidewalk area must be maintained to allow safe pedestrian passage and for the safe and convenient use of wheelchairs, strollers and similar instruments. Due to the congestion caused by such sidewalk sales, it is further determined that such sales must be limited to sidewalks at least 10 feet in width from the building exterior to the curbline. Moreover, to adequately control pedestrian congestion around such uses, display areas shall in no circumstances extend more than two feet from the building line into the sidewalk.
B. Application for such sales shall be made to the Commissioner
of Development or such other person designated by the Commissioner
on forms to be provided by the Department of Development. The application
shall delineate the specific location and display area from which
such sales would take place and describe the specific type and material
of the actual display fixtures.
C. A permit for such use may be granted by the Commissioner
or such other person designated by the Commissioner if compliance
is made with the following requirements:
(1) There shall be no less than 10 feet of sidewalk from
the building line to the curbline.
(2) Exterior display areas shall not extend more than
two feet from the building line into the sidewalk or beyond the building
line of the permitted premises. Display areas shall be constructed
from wood, metal or other similar material approved by the Commissioner
of Development or such other person designated by the Commissioner.
Display areas shall be finished in a manner aesthetically compatible
with the surrounding building facades. The use of milk cartons, tables
or other similar material to maintain display areas shall be prohibited.
(3) Such permit may be granted only for sidewalks directly abutting the premises for which the primary use is the sale of fruit, vegetables, plants or flowers in conformance with Chapter
331, Zoning.
(4) Satisfactory evidence of comprehensive liability insurance
naming the applicant and the City, its officers, agents and employees
as insureds, with limits of ($1,000,000/$2,000,000) for property damage
and $1,000,000/$2,000,000 for personal injury shall be filed with
the Commissioner.
(5) Payment of an annual permit fee as set forth in Chapter
133, Fees.
D. The Commissioner of Development or such other person designated by the Commissioner may revoke any permit issued hereunder for noncompliance with any provision of Subsection
C above after written notice to the holder of the permit, specifying the area or areas of noncompliance and setting a date for a hearing not less than three days after such notice. Failure to appear on the date set for such hearing shall be sufficient cause for the Commissioner to revoke the permit.
E. Any permit issued hereunder shall be revoked upon
the third conviction for a violation of the requirements herein within
a single permit term. Such revocation shall prohibit the grant of
a new permit for 12 months from the date of the third conviction.
F. All violations, except as set forth hereinbelow, shall
be punishable by a fine of not more than $100 for each violation.
A second violation within the same permit term shall be punishable
by a fine of not more than $250 for each violation. A third violation
within the same permit term shall be punishable by a fine of not more
than $500 for each violation. All subsequent violations within the
same permit term shall be punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000
for each violation.

existing permit holders shall be given 30 days to comply with the
requirements herein.
