(a) When it is not possible to confine the storage of building materials within the area of the property which is to be improved or altered, or within the unpaved portion of the sidewalk abutting the same as herein provided, a permit to occupy the roadway of the street abutting such property, as hereinafter limited, may be obtained from the Borough Secretary for a period not exceeding three months upon the payment of a fee of three dollars ($3.00) per month or any fraction thereof. However, no permit to occupy a roadway will be issued for the use of the roadway in front of property adjacent to the property to be improved or altered.
(b) No permit to occupy the roadway on any part or portion of Chester Road shall be issued and no permit shall sanction the deposit of dirt, leaves, refuse or rubbish on any roadway or sidewalk at any time. All roadways and sidewalks shall at all times be kept reasonably clean.
(c) No material shall be piled on a roadway for a greater distance than ten feet from the curb line and in no case shall the roadbed be diminished to such an extent as to prevent the free and unobstructed passage of traffic between such pile of materials and the opposite curb. An unobstructed gutter, sixteen inches wide, must be maintained along the curb line.
(d) From sunset to sunrise there shall be displayed a sufficient number of red or amber lights on all materials to warn pedestrians or vehicular traffic of the danger.
(e) Any permit granted under this section shall be temporary only and may be revoked by action of Council if, in its opinion, building materials are being stored under such permit in such a way as to violate the provisions of this chapter, to unduly obstruct the street or to constitute a menace to life or property. Upon revocation of such permit such building materials must be removed at the expense of the owner within twenty-four hours after notice to do so from the Borough Secretary.
(f) Any material placed or stored on any roadway contrary to the provisions of this chapter or not removed after receipt of the notice provided for in subsection (e) hereof is hereby declared to be a nuisance and removable as such.
(g) Building materials for use in active building operations may be stored on the unpaved portions of sidewalks without a permit, provided that the same do not in any way interfere with the use of the paved portion thereof or constitute an obstruction to free passage or a menace to life or property.
