[Adopted 11-17-1987 by Ord. No. 456 (Ch. 21, Part 5, of the
1987 Code of Ordinances)]
Under special circumstances, where there shall be no other practicable
means for temporary storage, a permit may be granted by the Township
of Upper Chichester for the storage of building materials upon a limited
portion of the street and/or sidewalk abutting the property upon which
such building materials are to be used. Such permit shall be issued
for a fee as established by resolution of the Board of Commissioners.
Such permit shall be issued upon the following conditions, which shall
be strictly adhered to by the holder thereof:
A.
Such permit shall be valid for a limited time, which shall be determined
by the Township, on the basis of the scope of the work being undertaken,
and the inconvenience to the public involved, and such time limit
shall be stated on the permit. Under special circumstances, a permit
may be extended beyond the original time limit with approval of the
Township, for an additional fee.[1]
B.
The building material shall occupy only such portion of the street
and/or sidewalk specified in the permit.
C.
Such building material shall be placed so as not to interfere with
drainage of any street or sidewalk or with access to any fire hydrant.
D.
Such building material shall be arranged in a regular, neat, compact
form so as to occupy a minimum of space and present the least risk
of falling, sliding, or scattering.
E.
The holder of such permit shall be liable for all damages, losses,
costs or expenses that are or may be considered by reason of the placing
or storage of such material upon the street or sidewalk.
F.
The holder of such permit shall be responsible for placing barriers,
guards and warning lights in the vicinity of or around such material
so as to prevent injury to persons and property.
G.
On or before the date of expiration of such permit, all such material
shall be removed from the street and/or sidewalk and the street and/or
sidewalk shall be restored to the condition in which it was immediately
prior to such storage, in default of which the Township may cause
such material to be removed and placed upon the property where such
material is to be used, with the expense of such removal payable by
the holder of such permit, and collected in any manner provided by
law.
