No owner or occupant shall allow the sidewalk
abutting on his premises to be littered with rubbish or dirt. If such
owner or occupant shall refuse or fail to remove any such rubbish
or dirt when notified to do so by the Village Board or its designee,
the Village Board or its designee may cause the same to be done and
report the cost thereof to the Village Clerk-Treasurer, who shall
spread the cost on the tax roll as a special tax against the premises,
pursuant to § 66.0627, Wis. Stats., or such cost may be
recovered in an action against the owner or occupant.
All vaults and cisterns under sidewalks shall
be prohibited.
Requests or petitions by Village property owners
for new streets, street resurfacing, curb and gutter, storm sewers,
utility work and sidewalks shall be presented to the Village Board
on or before September 1 to be considered for installation in the
following year.
It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit
or cause to be deposited, dump, sort, scatter or leave any rubbish,
stone, wire, earth, ashes, cinders, sawdust, hay, glass, manure, filth,
paper, snow, ice, dirt, grass, leaves, construction waste, garbage
or other offensive or noxious material in any public street, sidewalk,
or alley or upon any public property or upon any property of another,
without the express permission of the owner of occupant thereof.
No person shall in any manner obstruct or cause
to be obstructed the free passage of water in any public gutter, ditch,
culvert, swale or drain or place or cause to be placed any rubbish,
dirt, sand, gravel or any other matter or thing so that the same is
likely to be carried by the elements into any public gutter, ditch,
culvert, swale or drain.
All curb and gutter within the Village of Orfordville
shall be laid, repaired, or replaced by the Village pursuant to either
of the following two methods:
A. Petition from abutting property owners. In case of
a petition to the Village to build, replace, or repair any curb and
gutter signed by the abutting property owners, such petition shall,
whether specifically stated in the petition or not, authorize said
Village to build said curb and gutter abutting the property owned
by said petitioners in such manner as the Village Board shall direct.
The work shall be done either directly by the Village or by a private
contractor hired by the Village with or without bids, and the cost
thereof shall be charged to the abutting lots or parcels of lands
in such portions as the Village Board may determine, and the same
shall be entered on the tax roll as a special tax against such lots
of parcels, and the same shall be collected in all respects like other
taxes on real estate.
B. Village Board determination without petition from
abutting property owners. Whenever the Village Board shall, by resolution,
determine that a curb and gutter be laid, rebuilt, or repaired on
any public street within the Village, it shall proceed according to
§§ 66.0701 and 66.0703, Wis. Stats.
