[Adopted 5-21-2001 by L.L. No. 4-2001]
No person shall block, obstruct and/or deposit any item or material
upon a sidewalk within the Village of Angola, which hinders or interferes
with the use of the sidewalk for pedestrian traffic purposes, except pursuant
to a permit issued by the Village Board of Trustees as provided herein.
Any person desiring to block, obstruct or deposit items or materials
upon the sidewalk in violation of this article shall make an application to
the Village Clerk/Treasurer on a form provided by the Clerk/Treasurer. Said
application shall specify the name and address of the applicant, the specific
sidewalk area to be obstructed, the specific purpose for such obstruction,
and the period during which the sidewalk is to be obstructed.
Upon the filing of the application with the appropriate fee, the Clerk/Treasurer
shall schedule a hearing and provide the DPW Foreman a copy of said application
for report to the Board as to any safety issues resulting from such activity.
A.
Upon the finding, after hearing, by the Village Board
of Trustees that the proposed request is for a legitimate purpose and is not
of a length of time or to an extent or manner to cause an unreasonable interference
with the use of the sidewalk for pedestrian traffic purposes, the Village
Board of Trustees shall grant the permit, with or without conditions, and
direct the Village Clerk/Treasurer to issue the same.
B.
In the event that the Village Board, after hearing, does
not make one or more of the above findings, the Village Board shall deny the
permit and direct the Village Clerk/Treasurer to advise the applicant of such
a denial.
