Subd. 1. Obstructions. It is a misdemeanor for any person to place, deposit, display or offer for sale, any fence, goods or other obstructions upon, over, across or under any street or other public property without first having obtained a written permit from the Council, and then only in compliance in all respects with the terms and conditions of the permit, and taking precautionary measures for the protection of the public. An electrical cord or device of any kind is hereby included, but not by way of limitation, within the definition of an obstruction.
Subd. 2. Fires. It is a misdemeanor for any person to build or maintain a fire upon a roadway.
Subd. 3. Dumping in Streets. It is a misdemeanor for any person to throw or deposit in any street or any other public property any nails, dirt, glass, tin cans, metal scraps, garbage, shreds or rubbish or to empty any water containing salt or other injurious chemical thereon; the effect of this subdivision shall extend, but not by way of limitation, to depositing grease, oil and other fuel or lubricants in such places, and to place a motor vehicle with essential parts (as defined in Minnesota Statutes) removed, except the vehicles as are temporarily disabled for a period not in excess of 24 hours. It is a violation of this section to haul any soil or material, not adequately enclosed or covered, thereby permitting the same to fall upon the streets.
Subd. 4. Grass, Leaves and Tree Limbs in Streets. It is a petty misdemeanor for any individual to throw or deposit in any street or other public place, leaves, grass or tree limbs at any time except during periods designated by the city as fall and spring cleanup periods. During the fall and spring cleanup periods, persons shall be permitted to rake, throw and/or deposit the leaves, grass or tree limbs in the gutters or at the edges of any street or other public place that is adjoining their property. Any violation of this section is hereby declared to be a nuisance and upon three-days' written notice to the owner, as the owner is shown by the records of the Redwood County Auditor or the taxpayer of record as shown by the records of the Redwood County Treasurer, the city shall be entitled to remove the leaves, grass or tree limbs which have been deposited in the street or public place during the prohibited periods and charge the owner for the costs. In the event that the owner fails to pay the costs after billing, the city may collect the costs together with reasonable attorney's fees by suing the owner in a court of competent jurisdiction, or in the alternative, by certifying the costs of removal as any other special assessment upon the land from which the leaves, grass or tree limbs were removed.
Subd. 5. Signs and Other Structures. It is a misdemeanor for any person to place or maintain a sign or other structure in the traveled or untraveled portion of any street or other public property without first having obtained a written permit from the Council. In a district zoned for commercial or industrial enterprises, special permission allowing an applicant to erect and maintain signs overhanging the street may be granted upon such terms and conditions as may be set forth in the zoning or construction provisions of the City Code.
Subd. 6. Continuing Violation. Each day that any person continues in violation of this section shall be a separate offense and punishable as such.
Subd. 7. Condition. Before granting any permit under any of the provisions of this section, the Council may impose such insurance or bonding conditions thereon as it, considering the projected danger to public or private property or to persons, deems proper for safeguarding such persons and property. The insurance or bond shall also protect the city from any suit, action or cause of action arising by reason of the obstruction.
