(2) When the ice has formed on any sidewalk so that it cannot be immediately removed, the persons herein referred to shall keep the same sprinkled with salt, ashes, sawdust, or sand.
(B) No person shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, any snow or ice taken and removed from his or her premises or elsewhere upon any sidewalk, alley, parkway, public place, or street in the village, provided, however, that the removal of snow from a sidewalk in front of or abutting his or her premises, as is required in division (A) above, may be deposited on the alley or street. Snow shall not be piled at or near intersections so as to obstruct the view of pedestrians or operators of motor vehicles.
(C) (1) The failure to remove snow or the deposit of any snow or ice upon any sidewalk, alley, or street of the village contrary to the provisions of this section shall be and is declared to be a nuisance and, in addition to the penalty provided for violation of this section, the village may summarily remove any snow so deposited and cause the cost of said removal to be charged to the owner of the property from which said snow or ice has been removed.
(2) The charges for such snow removal shall be periodically established by the Village Board. If not paid within 30 days, such charge shall be extended upon the current or next tax roll as a charge for current services, as provided in Wis. Stats. § 66.0627.
