In the event that the applicant proposes to
utilize a dumpster in connection with the work described on the application
for the building permit, then the certification supplied by the application
shall provide the following information concerning the use of the
dumpster:
In the event that the applicant proposes to
utilize a dumpster with the placement of the same within the public
right-of-way of a street or within the cartway of an alley or such
that in the Building Inspector's opinion it interferes with the free
flow of pedestrian or vehicular traffic at the site, then the Building
Inspector shall have the right to conduct an investigation to determine
if such placement is reasonably necessary without reasonable alternatives(s).
In the event that the Building Inspector determines that a reasonable alternative exists for such placement, such that the placement will not be in the areas described in § 82-3 above, then the Building Inspector shall communicate such determination to the applicant in writing and request that the applicant revise his/her or its application for the permit to conform to the suggested alternative(s) provided by the Building Inspector.
In the event that the applicant shall agree
to such alternate placement, the application for the building permit
shall be revised to reflect the same.
In the event that the applicant disagrees with
such proposed alternate location, then the Building Inspector may,
in his discretion, deny the building permit application.
In the event that the Building Inspector determines
that no reasonable alternative exists, then the Building Inspector
shall have the discretion to deny the application as submitted or
issue the application subject to certain conditions regarding length
of time in which the dumpster(s) will be placed at the locations identified
in the application. Prior to issuance of the permit, the Building
Inspector shall consult with the Police Department to determine what,
if any, concerns they may have regarding the placement of the dumpster(s).
The Building Inspector shall have the discretion
in issuing a building permit to limit the time of the placement of
any dumpster in connection with a building permit application regardless
of the proposed location.
The following shall be considered to be violations
of this chapter:
A.
Utilizing a dumpster for disposal of materials of
any nature or kind without obtaining a building permit authorizing
the same; and/or
B.
Utilizing a dumpster for disposal of materials of
any nature or kind in violation of the approval of the same as given
by the Building Inspector or as provided in the building permit.
Any person convicted of violating this chapter
shall be fined not less then $50 nor more than $300 per violation.
Every day that a violation of this chapter continues shall be considered
a separate offense.
