Except as herein provided, it shall be unlawful for any property owner to construct or maintain, or permit to be constructed or maintained, on a street abutting his or her premises, any gutter cover, bridge, plate, pipe, or other kind of gutter crossing. In unimproved streets or in streets not improved with curbs and gutters, the Building Commissioner may, at his or her discretion, issue a special permit for the placing of a pipe, if such construction is, in his or her opinion, necessary in order to provide vehicle access to the abutting property. Such special permit shall specify the size, extent, and type of construction permitted.

It shall be unlawful to obstruct or permit the obstruction of any gutter so as to impede the passage of water flowing in such gutter in any village street. Wherever a property owner maintains a pipe in the gutter of a street abutting his or her premises, by virtue of a special permit issued in accordance with § 54.26, such owner shall at all times keep such pipe free and clear of obstruction.
(2000 Code, § 55.27) (Ord. O-31-92, passed 9-14-1992) Penalty, see § 10.99
Whenever, in connection with the construction, repair, or reconstruction of a street or sidewalk improvement, or in connection with the laying of sewers, water pipes, or other municipal utility equipment, it shall become necessary for a property owner to remove, repair, or readjust, in whole or in part, a building encroachment or other private street privilege, to conform to such improvement, the Mayor shall notify the owner of the property to which the encroachment or street privilege is appurtenant to make such removal or change as shall conform to the proposed improvement and comply with the laws of the state and the ordinances of the village.
(2000 Code, § 55.28) (Ord. O-31-92, passed 9-14-1992)
The notice required in § 54.28 shall be sufficient if served on the owner or his or her agent personally or by letter addressed to the place of business or last known residence of such owner or agent. Where the property affected is owned by more than one person, service on any one owner shall be sufficient. If no owner or agent can be found, it shall be sufficient to post a notice on the premises for a period of not less than 30 days.
(2000 Code, § 55.29) (Ord. O-31-92, passed 9-14-1992)
If any owner shall, for the period of 30 days or more after the issuance of the notice required by § 54.28, fail to make the removal or readjustment required by such notice, the Mayor is hereby authorized and directed at any time to revoke and declare terminated the right to maintain the encroachment or street privilege, as the case may be. Notice of such revocation and termination shall be given in the same manner provided in § 54.29.
(2000 Code, § 55.30) (Ord. O-31-92, passed 9-14-1992)
Whenever the right to maintain an encroachment or street privilege in a public street or sidewalk shall have been revoked or terminated in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Mayor shall be authorized and directed to remove the encroaching construction, in whole or in part, and where necessary to fill up, wall up, seal, or cover over any opening or cavity. The cost of making such removal and performing such auxiliary work shall be charged against the property owner. Where such removal and auxiliary work are necessary in connection with sidewalk construction, such work shall be included as part of the sidewalk construction and the cost thereof shall be assessed against the abutting premises.
