[Adopted 11-4-1985]
When the Village of Oxford acquired a trailer park on North Washington
Avenue, including in the transaction was a pagoda which at one time had been
located on Washington Park. The Village Board contacted the Historical Society
to discover if there was an interest in preserving and restoring the structure.
The Historical Society and the Oxford Revitalization Project with the help
of interested groups and individuals undertook the job of moving the pagoda
to its original site and restoring it to its former appearance. When completely
restored, it is hoped that the pagoda will also regain its place as a center
of community activities.
Bearing in mind that the pagoda and park are in a residential section
of the historic district, only those activities in keeping with the tone of
the park and surrounding area will be allowed.
A.
Permission for the use of the pagoda will be obtained
from the Village Clerk, stating in the request the activity planned.
B.
The Oxford Historical Society and the Oxford Revitalization
Project will be notified of the date and intended use.
C.
Approval secured for any decoration. No permanent changes
or attachments will be made to the pagoda without exception. This is true
of driving nails or tacks into the structure. Any bunting or decoration should
be attached using only string or rope.
D.
The person or organization requesting the use of the
pagoda will be responsible for removing any decoration and cleaning up the
area involved in the activity.
E.
The person or organization requesting the use of the
pagoda shall absolve the Village of Oxford, the Oxford Historical Society
and the Oxford Revitalization Project from any and all liability for personal
and/or property injury or damage while assuming on themselves liability for
any damage to the pagoda.
