[Adopted 8-12-2008 by L.L. No. 6-2008]
The purpose of this article shall be to preserve
the public peace and good order in the Village, to contribute to the
public welfare, safety and good order of its people and to contribute
to the safe conveyance of its people over the streets and sidewalks
of the Village by establishing certain regulations for the removal
of snow and ice from the streets and sidewalks of the Village that
are consistent with the rights and privileges of other residents of
the Village.
No person, firm or corporation shall deposit,
throw, place or strew nor shall any person, firm or corporation cause
to be deposited, thrown, placed or strewn any snow or ice upon any
street, avenue, roadway or highway within the Village.
A.
No person, firm or corporation shall pile, gather
up, plow up or in any way force any snow or ice upon any street, avenue,
roadway or highway within the Village.
B.
No person, firm or corporation shall pile, gather
up, plow up or in any way force any snow or ice upon any terrace or
parcel of land within six feet of any street, avenue, roadway or highway
within the Village in such a manner as to cause the height of the
snow and ice so piled, gathered, plowed or forced to exceed three
feet six inches in height above the existing natural grade of said
terrace or parcel of land within six feet of said street, except that
it shall be unlawful to cover a fire hydrant with snow or ice.
C.
No person, firm, corporation, property owner or occupant
shall remove snow or ice from any parcel of real property and place
it upon another parcel of real property without the express permission
of the owner of the parcel of real property upon which the snow or
ice is to be placed.
D.
Any person, firm or corporation piling, gathering or plowing up snow or ice on any street, avenue, roadway or highway within the Village or to an excess height, as indicated in § 269-35B, shall forthwith remove the same at their own expense upon the request of the Superintendent of Highways of the Village of Woodbury.
E.
Whenever any person, firm or corporation neglects
or refuses to remove any snow or ice piled, gathered or plowed up
by them in violation of this article within four hours after a request
to do so by the Superintendent of Highways of the Village of Woodbury,
the Village may remove or cause to be removed such accumulation at
the expense of the owner or occupant of said property, and, upon the
failure to pay the charge, the Village shall cause the expense thereof
to be assessed against the property and become a lien thereon, collectible
in the same manner as delinquent Village taxes.
The owners or occupants of buildings adjacent
to sidewalks within the Village shall prevent the falling of snow,
ice or water from such building upon said Village sidewalks.
Whenever the owner or occupant of lots abutting
on any street or streets fails to remove from the sidewalk in front
thereof snow and ice within the time limit specified and provided
for herein, said owner or occupant shall be subject to a fine not
to exceed $25 for each offense.
This article shall supersede, in its application
to the Village of Woodbury, § 6-628 of the Village Law.
