   (A)   Duration and frequency limitations. No person, firm, or corporation and no group or groups of persons shall organize, operate or maintain a garage sale in any residential area or on any premises primarily used for residential purposes for any period or term exceeding three days.  No person, firm, corporation, group or groups of persons may thus organize, operate or maintain a garage sale more than three times during any calendar year.  All items offered for sale must be removed from public display within eight hours of the conclusion of the sale.
   (B)   Penalty. Any person, firm, corporation or group or groups of persons who shall violate any of the provisions of this chapter or shall fail to comply therewith with any of the requirements thereof shall be charged with a class D ordinance violation and fined the sum of $25.  Each day that the violation or non-compliance shall be permitted to exist shall constitute a separate offense for which a separate fine shall be assessed.  The Ellettsville Planning Director or designee is the designated code enforcement officer for this section.
