(A) It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to obstruct or otherwise prevent access to any publicly-used street, alley, easement, or other municipally-owned property whether platted or unplatted; provided, the town may prevent or provide access to such streets, alleys, easements, and municipally-owned properties from time to time in the public interest.
(B) The Town Board of Trustees may permit certain streets, alleys, easements, and municipal properties which are dedicated but not required for traffic or other public access or use to be fenced or otherwise made inaccessible to the public (as in the case of land being farmed or grazed as a part of a larger field or pasture); provided, said Town Board or any of its officers or employees shall have the right of ingress, egress, and easement for the purpose of installing or maintaining utilities, cleaning, grading, mowing, or any other activity which is in the public interest.
(C) Persons, companies, corporations, or individuals who have fenced in or are farming or grazing dedicated (but unopened) streets, alleys, easements, or municipally-owned properties, as permitted above, shall:
(1) Not construct any building, structure, earthworks, or ponds nor, in any other way, disturb the general grade and slope of the land;
(2) Maintain the property so that no nuisance is created;
(3) Immediately relinquish any rights presumed to be held concerning the property upon notice by the town; and
(4) Permit access to the property at any time when requested to do so by a municipal officer or employee.
