It shall be unlawful for any person to grade,
pave, light, clean or otherwise improve, at the expense of the Town,
any street hereafter dedicated to the public by the owner of private
property, unless such street shall have been accepted by the Town
Council and, under its direction, laid out by the Town Manager or
other duly designated representative of the Town Council.
A.
When a street line, grade of center line or curb of
any street or sidewalk is established by the Town Council or by a
Town officer duly designated for such purpose, such grade and alignment
shall be official, and no person shall change such grade or alignment
so fixed.
B.
The situation, range, height, width and pitch of the
curbstones and pavements shall be determined and established by the
Town Council or by a Town officer duly designated for such purpose
and shall be complied with.
It shall be unlawful for any person to encroach
upon any street, sidewalk or public place by the erection thereon
of any porch, veranda, portico, steps, building, fence or other thing
or otherwise, and any such encroachment shall be deemed an obstruction
and shall be removed by the owner or occupant of the premises where
such encroachment may occur within 10 days after notice from the Town
Manager requiring the encroachment to be removed. Any person violating
this section shall be subject to a fine not exceeding $1,000 for each
day such encroachment is allowed to continue after expiration of the
notice to remove the encroachment, and on the failure of such person
to remove it after such notice, the Town Manager shall cause it to
be removed, and all reasonable charges therefor, with costs, shall
be collected from the owner or occupant by the same process by which
taxes are collected.
It shall be unlawful for any person to use or
to set off for use any portion of any street, sidewalk or public place
within the Town for the sale or display of any merchandise or other
product, for the rendering of any service, for the holding of any
carnival or other such attraction or for any purpose other than use
by the general public as intended by the dedication, ordinance, deed
or other instrument by which such street, sidewalk or public place
was established and laid out, except pursuant to a license or permit
issued pursuant to this Code or other ordinance or resolution of the
Town Council or except pursuant to a special permit issued by the
Town Council for a limited period of time not exceeding one week.
Permits under this section may be granted or denied by the Town Council
as in its sound discretion may be deemed in the best interests of
the Town.

obstruct or interfere with in any manner the culverts or drains of
the streets, or loading from any street in the Town, without permission
of the Town Council.
It shall be unlawful for the occupant of any
building or for the owner or person in charge of any unoccupied building
or vacant lot which abuts upon any street or public place where there
is a paved footway or sidewalk to permit snow to remain along the
front or side of such premises longer than three hours after the snow
has ceased to fall, except that if the snow shall cease to fall in
the nighttime, it shall be cleared away before 10:00 a.m. the following
day; and if any such occupant, owner or person in charge, as the case
may be, fails or refuses to clean off the snow in accordance herewith,
it shall be the duty of the Town Manager to cause such pavement or
sidewalk to be cleaned at the expense of such occupant or owner; and
the costs thereof shall be collected in the manner in which fines
are collected or in any other manner authorized by law, and such reimbursement
to the Town shall not constitute a bar to prosecution of the offender
for a violation of this section.
Every person who may be building or repairing
any house or other structure shall cause all the rubbish occasioned
thereby which may be cast into the street to be removed therefrom
before sunset the next day.
No person shall ride an animal, bicycle, velocipede,
skateboard, moped or other such similar device on any of the sidewalks
of the Town.
