Under special circumstances, where there shall be no other practicable
means for temporary storage, a permit may be granted by the Borough

of the street and/or sidewalk abutting the property making use of
said receptacles. Such permit shall be issued for a fee fixed pursuant
to resolution. 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, not in excess of 30
days, which shall be determined by the Borough of Catawissa 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 Borough of Catawissa,
for a fee fixed pursuant to resolution.
B. The receptacle shall occupy only such portion of the street and/or
sidewalk specified in the permit.
C. Said receptacle shall be placed so as not to interfere with drainage
of any street or sidewalk or with access to any fire hydrant.

and present the least danger and inconvenience to the public.
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 said receptacle upon the street or sidewalk.
F. The holder of such permit shall be responsible for placing barriers,
guards, reflectors and/or warning lights in the vicinity of or around
the receptacle so as to prevent injury to persons and property.
G. On or before the date of expiration of such permit, the permitted
receptacle shall be removed 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 Borough of Catawissa may cause the
receptacle to be removed and placed upon the property of the permit
holder, with the expense of such removal payable by the holder of
such permit, and collected in any manner provided by law.
Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision
of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay
a fine not more than $600, and in default of payment, to imprisonment
for a term not to exceed 30 days. Each day that a violation of this
article continues shall constitute a separate offense.
