(a) Every owner, occupant or agent (“responsible person”) of a building, structure, property or lot (“premises”) within the Town shall remove from all sidewalks abutting, adjoining or fronting the premises all snow and ice within twelve (12) hours after it accumulates thereon. No person shall fail to fulfill this affirmative obligation. For purposes of determining whether a sidewalk is abutting, adjoining or fronting the premises, any intervening right-of-way shall be excluded. This Section does not apply to ice that accumulates for reasons beyond the control of the responsible person.

(b) In the event the responsible person shall fail to cause snow and ice removal as required by Subsection (a) above, the Town Manager may cause a written notice to be served on the responsible person. The notice shall require the responsible person to complete the snow and/or ice removal within a reasonable time, not to exceed forty-eight (48) hours. If personal service cannot be made on the responsible person, the notice shall be posted in a prominent place at the premises. If the responsible person so notified fails to remove the snow as required by this Section, the Town Manager may cause the snow removal to meet the requirements of Subsection (a) above and charge the costs thereof, plus an additional amount up to twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for administrative costs, to the responsible person.

(c) Any person who violates any provision of this Section shall be subject to a fine not less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) and not to exceed the maximum fine as set forth in Paragraph 1-4-10(a)(2) of this Code. Each such person shall be guilty of a separate violation for each and every day during any portion of which any violation of any provision of this Section is committed, continued or permitted by any such person, and such person shall be punished accordingly.

(d) The remedies contained in Subsections (b) and (c) above are cumulative. (Prior code 12.04.090; Ord. 1288 §1, 2008)
