[Amended 9-12-2008 by Ord. No. 2008-13; 2-20-2014 by Ord. No. 2014-03; 11-6-2014 by Ord. No. 2014-10; 2-1-2018 by Ord. No. 2018-01]
A. Required. The owner, occupant or person in charge of every building,
lot or part of a lot within the City abutting upon a public sidewalk
shall remove all snow and ice from said sidewalk within 24 hours from
the time the snow ceases to fall. When ice is formed on the sidewalk
so that it cannot be removed, it shall be kept sprinkled with ashes,
salt, sand or like material. The entire sidewalk from edge to edge
must be made safe for passage by a means described above.
B. Removal of snow from roofs. The owner, occupant or person having
charge of any building within the City abutting upon or near any public
street or place that snow or ice may fall from the roof thereof into
or upon such street or place, or upon the sidewalk thereof, shall
cause all snow and ice to be removed from such roof within 24 hours
after the snow or ice has ceased falling or forming, as determined
by the Public Works Director, or provide suitable guards so that the
ice or snow shall not be discharged upon the sidewalk.
C. Deposit on streets prohibited. No person shall deposit or cause to
be deposited any snow or ice upon any sidewalk, alley, tree lawn,
public place or street in the City; provided, however, that snow or
ice removed from the sidewalk in front of or abutting any premises
or the premises which abut such sidewalk may be deposited on the tree
lawn and, in the event there is no tree lawn, on the street fronting
such premises prior to snow or ice being plowed, windrowed and removed
from the street by the City.
D. Removal by City. If snow or ice is not removed from sidewalks or sprinkled, as required by Subsection
A, one warning per property parcel per snow season will be given for the failure to clear sidewalks; or if snow is not removed from roofs, as required by Subsection
B above, or if snow or ice is deposited on any sidewalk, alley, tree lawn, public place or street in the City in violation of Subsection
C above, then the City may remove or cause to be removed all such snow or ice, and the person in charge of the premises from which the snow or ice was removed and so deposited shall be charged. The charge will consist of a Public Works Department charge for time spent at the task, with a minimum charge of one hour per visit, as specified in the Municipal Fee Schedule. Repeat offenders within any given snow season shall be charged an enhanced penalty consisting of two times the standard charge. If not paid within 30 days, such charge shall be placed on the tax roll, pursuant to § 66.0627, Wis. Stats.
All utilities, including sewer and water mains
and service laterals to the abutting property, shall be installed
before any street is permanently surfaced or resurfaced.
The penalty for violation of any provision of this chapter shall be a penalty as provided in Chapter
1, §
1-4, of this Code. A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day on which a violation of this chapter occurs or continues.
