[Adopted as §§ 8.05 and 8.15 of the prior
Code]
The owner, occupant or person in charge of each and every building
or structure or unoccupied lot in the Village fronting or abutting
any street shall clean, or cause to be cleaned, the sidewalk in front
of or adjoining each such building or unoccupied lot of snow or ice
to the width of such sidewalk within 24 hours after the cessation
of a snowstorm. When the ice has formed on any sidewalk so that it
cannot be immediately removed, the persons herein referred to shall
keep the same sprinkled with salt, ashes, sawdust or sand.
No person shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, any snow
or ice taken and removed from his premises or elsewhere upon any sidewalk,
alley, parkway, public place or street in the Village. Snow shall
not be piled at or near intersections so as to obstruct the view of
pedestrians or operators of motor vehicles.
The deposit of any snow or ice upon any sidewalk, alley or street
of the Village contrary to the provisions of this article shall be
and is declared to be a nuisance and, in addition to the penalty provided
for violation of this article, the Village may summarily remove any
snow so deposited and cause the cost of said removal to be charged
to the owner of the property from which said snow or ice has been
removed. If not paid within 30 days, such charge shall be extended
upon the current or next tax roll as a charge for current services,
as provided in § 66.0627, Wis. Stats.
The penalty for violation of any provision of this article shall be a penalty as provided in § 1-3 of this Code. A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day on which a violation of this article occurs or continues.
