[Adopted 7-9-1984 by Ord. No. A-12-84 as
Ch. 172, Art III, of the 1984 Code]
As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
Includes the person or persons holding legal title to any
lot, parcel of land or real property, whether improved or unimproved
and whether or not occupied by the owner.
Includes paved or flagstone walks intended for use by pedestrians,
or, in the absence of such paved or flagstone walks, that portion
of unpaved area normally traversed by pedestrians.
A.
It shall be the duty of the owner of any lot, parcel
of land or real property in the City abutting or bordering on the
sidewalks of a public street in the City to remove or cause to be
removed all snow and ice from the sidewalk area in front of or bordering
his lands within 24 hours of the cessation of any storm or fall of
snow. Said snow and ice shall be so removed that an unobstructed portion
of the sidewalk area is open and cleared to a width of at least three
feet.
B.
The Police Department of the City shall be charged
with enforcement of the provisions of this section and shall cause
prosecutions for violations thereof to be instituted before the Judge
with all reasonable dispatch.
No person shall throw, place, or deposit any
snow or ice into or upon any street or highway.
[Amended 7-9-1984 by Ord. No. A-12-84]
Upon removal of said snow and ice by the City as provided in § 365-18, the Director of the Department of Public Works shall forthwith certify the cost of such removal by the City to the Municipal Council. Upon receipt of the certificate, the Council shall examine the same and, if found correct, shall cause such costs to be charged as a special tax against the lands so abutting such sidewalks. The amount so charged shall thereupon become a lien and tax upon lands and shall be added to and become part of the taxes next to he levied and assessed upon such lands. Said amount shall bear interest at the same rate and shall be collected and enforced by the same officers and in the same manner as taxes.
In the event that any person shall be injured in body or property by reason of neglect, failure or refusal of any owner to remove the snow or ice as provided in § 365-18, and in the event that such person so injured shall recover damages and costs from the City for the injuries so sustained, such owner shall be liable to the City for the amount of the damages and costs so recovered, and the City may sue and recover same by law.
A.
Any person who violates any provision of this article
shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding
$500 or be imprisoned for a term not exceeding 90 days, or both. A
separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on
which a violation occurs or continues.
[Amended 7-9-1984 by Ord. No. A-12-84]
