§ 25-42. Removing snow from private property to certain streets, parking lots prohibited.

(a)

No person or corporation shall cause snow to be removed from private property and deposited on a public street or parking lot from which the street department customarily hauls snow to other areas, or shall deposit such snow from private property on any such street or lot in a manner which obstructs or interferes with traffic.

(b)

No property owner shall deposit snow from his premises anywhere on a public street or municipal parking lot except:

(1)

On the boulevard area between the curb and the sidewalk, or

(2)

If there is no curb, between the travelled road and the sidewalk, or

(3)

If there is no curb or sidewalk, on the boulevard area of the owner's property, but not encroaching on the travelled area, or

(4)

If there is curb but no sidewalk, then on the boulevard area of the owner's property.

It is the intention of this section to prohibit, and it does prohibit, depositing snow from the property owner's premises on a parking lot, or across the street from his premises, or in front of the premises of other property owners in the city, rather than in the boulevard area in front of his own property. Where a common driveway serves more than one property, it shall be lawful to deposit snow therefrom in front of any one or more of the properties so sharing, under the above limitations.

(c)

The term "property owner" as used in this section shall include tenants or other occupants of a particular piece of land who have the responsibility or part of the responsibility for removal of snow therefrom and also shall include corporations and associations.
