(A) It is a violation of this code to deposit on any street any material that may make the street slippery, including but not limited to, leaves and grass, or which may be harmful to the pavement or storm drain(s), or any waste material, glass, or other articles which may do injury to any person, animal or property.
(B) Where no other place is available, materials may be deposited in the street preparatory to delivery or use, with the advance written permission of the Director, and notice to the Village of South Elgin Police Department; provided, that such deposit does not reduce the usable width of the roadway at any point to less than 18 feet; and provided, that such material, other than material to be used in actual building construction, shall not be permitted to remain on such street for more than three hours. Any such material shall be guarded by such lights and barricades as the Director shall deem necessary, and shall only be stored for a period of time deemed reasonable and necessary by the Director.
(C) It shall be a violation of this code to remove any snow or ice from any private property and deposit the same upon any public street or alley or any part thereof.
(D) It shall be a violation of this code to operate any vehicle on any street, alley or other improved roadway when condition of the vehicle is such that soil, clay, mud, stone, gravel or other material drops or falls from the tires or any other part of the vehicle.
(E) The village may, at the Director’s discretion, remove any materials deposited or dropped on any street, alley or other improved roadway within the village in violation of this section, and may charge the cost of the removal to the person responsible for the violation. In addition to the operator of the offending vehicle, both the owner of the vehicle and the owner of the property from which the offending vehicle has proceeded shall be jointly and severally liable for the violation. Muddy tire tracks or other deposit trails leading from a parcel of property shall be considered prima facie evidence of a violation of this section by the owner of the property. The village’s removal of the material and imposition of charges against the property owner and/or the operator of the offending vehicle for the removal shall not be deemed to have remedied the violation of this section, and the property owner and operator of the offending vehicle shall remain jointly and severally liable for all penalties imposed for violating this section in addition to all removal charges.
