1. Duty Of Owner: The owner of every building fronting upon any street or avenue, and the owner of any unoccupied lot fronting upon any street, shall be held responsible to ensure the sidewalk in front of the building or unoccupied lot is cleared of snow and ice by nine o'clock (9:00) P.M. of each day, and cause the same to be kept clear of snow and ice.
2. City Removal: In all cases where snow and ice are not removed from sidewalks within the time and in the manner as provided in this section, it may be removed by authorized city personnel, and the necessary expenses thereof, along with an administrative fee to be set by resolution of the city council, shall be chargeable against the abutting property. If timely payment is not forthcoming from the landowner, the bill shall be assessed against the property as provided by law.
B. Depositing Snow On Streets Or Sidewalks: No person engaged to move, blow or plow snow upon or off of any private property or city right of way within the city shall cause or permit any of the snow so removed, blown or plowed to be deposited upon any street or sidewalk within the city. The prohibition contained herein shall apply to the owners and occupants of any such property, their agents, employees or independent contractors. The owner of the premises or the persons requesting the snow to be removed or the persons who are actually removing the snow shall make suitable arrangements to deposit the removed snow in some place other than upon the city streets or sidewalks, and snow shall not be piled so as to interfere with the vision of motorists approaching any intersection. Other than from adjacent sidewalks and driveways, no snow shall be placed upon the boulevard.
C. Penalty: Any person convicted of violating any provision of this section shall be guilty of a petty misdemeanor and be subject to a fine not to exceed two hundred dollars ($200.00) or an administrative penalty pursuant to section 1-4-4 of this code. (Ord. 2016-13, 7-25-2016)
