No person shall park or leave unattended any
waste or refuse container, commonly known as a "roll-off dumpster,"
"roll-off container," or "bagster," on or along any Town street or
road or on any public property without first having obtained a permit
from the Town Clerk. A permit shall be valid and remain in effect
for a period of not more than 30 days, but may be renewed by the Town
Clerk upon application therefor.
B.
The Chief of Police and Superintendent of Public Works
shall review each application for safety concerns, effect on traffic,
inconvenience to the public and other potential problems. No permit
shall be issued by the Clerk without the written approval of the Police
Chief and Superintendent of Public Works.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
To warn the operators of vehicles of the presence
of a traffic hazard requiring the exercise of unusual care, any roll-off
dumpster or roll-off container parked on or along any street or road
shall be equipped with and display markers consisting of all yellow
reflective diamond-shaped panels having a minimum size of 18 inches
by 18 inches. These panels shall be mounted at the edge of the dumpster
or container at both ends nearest the path of passing vehicles and
facing the direction of oncoming traffic. These markers shall have
a minimum mounting height of three feet from the bottom of the panels
to the surface at the roadway.
No permit shall be issued until the applicant
has obtained general liability insurance coverage with aggregate policy
limits of $2,000,000. Prior to the issuance of a permit, the applicant
shall furnish the Town with a certificate of insurance from an insurance
company satisfactory to the Town. Each such certificate of insurance
shall identify the coverage provided and shall provide that such insurance
shall not be changed or canceled without giving 30 days' prior written
notice to the Town by certified mail, return receipt requested. All
such policies of insurance shall name the Town as an additional insured
and shall be primary to all other available coverage. Specific reference
to the dumpster and its location shall be made in all policies of
insurance.
A person who is convicted of a violation of
this article shall pay a fine of not more than $100 for each violation.
In default of the payment of a fine, imprisonment in the county jail
for a period of not more than 90 days may be imposed.
