No person, firm or corporation shall perform
any work in or under any street, highway, alley, park or other public
place within the limits of the Town of Montville or use any portion
of any such street, highway, alley, park or other public place for
the purpose of depositing or keeping any material to be used in the
construction or repair of any building or other work, or place or
suspend on or over any such street, highway, alley, park or other
public place any ladder, barricade, scaffolding, staging or any other
material, equipment or apparatus used in the construction, alteration
or repair of any building or other work or blockade or obstruct any
such street, highway, alley, park or other public place unless a permit
shall have been granted in accordance with the terms of this article
and this permit is visibly displayed at the site of said construction,
repair, or other work.
No such permit shall be issued unless and until
the applicant therefor has filed with the Director of Public Works
a policy or certificate of insurance protecting the Town of Montville
from any loss, liability or damage that may result or accrue from,
or because of, the making, existence or manner of guarding the work
or guarding and constructing any such work with limits of $1,000,000
for bodily injury liability, including wrongful death, and with limits
of $1,000,000 for injury to or destruction of property. An applicant
may, in lieu of filing a separate insurance policy or certificate
therefor for each permit, file an insurance policy or certificate
thereof annually.
Each excavation permit will remain valid for
a period of 15 calendar days from the date of issuance, after which
time it will expire.
It shall be unlawful to carry on the work beyond
the expiration date of a permit unless an extension is applied for
and issued by the Director of Public Works. The time limit, fee, bond
and insurance requirements for an extension will be the same as those
requirements for a permit.
Any person, firm or corporation violating the
permit requirement shall be fined $90 for working without having been
granted a valid permit and $10 for not visibly displaying a valid
permit at the site for which a permit was granted. A separate offense
shall be deemed committed on each and every day during or on which
a violation occurs or continues and shall be deemed an infraction.
