[Adopted 11-5-1979 as §§ 25-6
to 25-10.1 of the 1979 Revised General Ordinances]
It shall be the duty of the owner, occupant
or tenant of any lot, parcel of land, or real property in the Township
abutting or bordering on the sidewalks of a public street in the Township
to remove or cause to be removed all snow and ice from the sidewalk
area in front of or bordering his lands, within 12 hours of daylight
after the snow has ceased to fall.
If the owner or tenant of any such lands or
premises shall neglect or refuse to comply with the provisions and
requirements of this article, the Manager shall cause the snow and
ice to be removed from such sidewalks.
A.
The Manager shall certify the cost of such removal
to the Council.
B.
The Council shall examine such certificate, and, if
found to be correct, shall cause such cost to be charged against such
real estate so abutting upon such sidewalk. The amount so charged
shall thereupon become a lien and tax upon such real estate and shall
be added to and be part of the taxes next to be levied and assessed
thereon, and enforced and collected, with interest, in the same manner
as other taxes.
No person, including the owner, tenant or occupant
of any premises abutting on any street shall throw, place or deposit
upon any sidewalk or street in the Township, any snow or ice which
has accumulated within the private property of such person, owner,
tenant or occupant.
A person who owns or controls a parking area
is responsible for assuring that parking spaces reserved for handicapped
motorists and curb cuts and other improvements designed to provide
accessibility are not obstructed. If the obstruction is ice or snow,
it must be removed from the parking space, curb cut or other improvement
within 48 hours after inclement weather has ended. A violation of
this provision shall be liable for a fine of not less than $200 nor
more than $500.
Unless another penalty is expressly provided
herein, any person who violates any provision of this article shall,
upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding $500
or by imprisonment 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.
