418-10 Snow and ice removal.

A. Removal from sidewalks. The owner, occupant or person in charge of any parcel or lot which fronts upon or abuts any sidewalk shall keep said sidewalk clear of all snow and ice. In the event of snow accumulating on said sidewalk due to natural means and/or by any other means, said sidewalks shall be cleared of all accumulated snow and/or ice within 36 hours if your lot is located in a commercial or institutional zoning district and 72 hours if your lot is in a residential district from the time the snow ceases to accumulate on said sidewalk. Sidewalks are to be kept clear of snow and ice to a minimum of four feet in width. In the event that ice has formed on any sidewalk in such a manner that it cannot be removed, the owner, occupant or person in charge of the parcel or lot which fronts upon or adjoins said sidewalk shall keep the sidewalk sprinkled with sand and/or salt to permit safe travel by pedestrians. The Board has the right to review any sidewalk concerns after written request from property owners.

B. Notice and cost of removal of snow from sidewalks. The Village Administrator will publish a legal notice summarizing the requirements of this section of the municipal code during the first week of October each year. The cost to have the Village clean the sidewalks per occurrence is as set by the Village Board for under 200 feet and for over 200 feet. Failure to comply with the above requirements will cause the Village to clean any walk, without prior notice, that is not cleared and bill the responsible landowner.

Snow and ice not to encroach. No person shall push, shove or in any way deposit any snow or ice onto any public streets, alley, sidewalk or public lands dedicated to public use except for parcels or lots located where existing buildings are constructed within five feet of the street right-of-way and the sidewalks exist from the Village right-of-way to the curbline. In such instances, the owners, occupants and/or employees of parcels or lots shall be permitted to deposit snow and ice from their sidewalks onto the public streets.

C. Enforcement. All sworn police officers and other designated Village officials and employees are hereby authorized and directed to enforce the provisions of this section.

D. Continued violations. Each twenty-four-hour period where a violation occurs shall constitute a separate offense under this section for enforcement purposes. Repeated violations or subsequent additional accumulations of snow and/or ice shall not nullify any pending notice issued under this section.

E. Expense. An account of the expenses incurred by the Village to abate the snow and/or ice hazard shall be kept and such expenses shall be charged to and paid by the parcel or lot owner. Notice of the bill for the removal of snow and/or ice shall be mailed to the last-known address of the owner of the parcel or lot and shall be payable within 10 calendar days from the receipt thereof. Within 60 days after such costs and expenses are incurred and remain unpaid, the Village Administrator-Clerk/Treasurer shall enter those charges onto the tax roll as a special tax as provided by § 

F. Penalty. In addition to the provisions set forth in this section, any person, firm or corporation which violates the provisions of this section shall be subject to a penalty as provided in § 66.0907(5), Wis. Stats.
